This is so STUPID. He wasn't deported. He was disappeared to a CONCENTRATION CAMP funded by U.S. taxpayers without due process and in violation of a standing order not to remove him. You say you're not hateful yet you condone this total evil. Learn from history but I know you won't. If the Trump regime can do this to him he can do this to anyone including U.S. citizens who are his political opponents.

My prediction sadly gels with the opinion posted in the video above about The Crisis Is Now. The Trump regime will not allow him to ever get out. He's in a concentration camp where there is no out. The Salvadorian dictator has said the only way out is death. There is torture there obviously. If he's let out, he then speaks and the Trump regime can't have that. If he isn't dead already, they're going to murder him first before any chance of release. I hope I am wrong.

Posted above. Again, I suggest expanding your sources outside the maga tunnel of lies and hatred.

You're wrong. She has spoken out very forcefully. I guess your maga "media" bubble has ignored that.

The crisis is now.

It's very hard to leave any cult.

It would take one phone call by Trump to Bukele to get him released. It's all on Trump. He is defying the supreme court. The transition to a US dictatorship is happening rapidly. This is fascism theater. Boiling the frogs so that the American people accept more and more civil rights violations. We're already at the point where foreign tourists are being advised to bring burner phones and soon returning US citizens will be in the same boat.

Who needs a real Manchurian candidate when you elect someone as massively stupid as Trump that he may as well be?

Not going to link it but I came to my conclusion based on one opinion from a lawyer and also the fact that neither agents or customers have been charged with a crime just for doing the thing that so many are happy to pay for. Agents have been charged for things like using fake stamps which obviously is a crime. But if the "process" gets the customer a real stamp, then there it is. Of course there can be inconveniences and surprising negative consequences if using these services but being charged with a crime just for using an agent isn't one of them. This is one of those "you're not in Kansas anymore" type things. Living here requires an adjustment of perspective.

About the question of the legality of paying agents to avoid meeting financial requirements for immigration matters, after many years I have come to the conclusion that though it may subjectively be viewed as unethical or corrupt by many. it is indeed QUASI-legal. which basically translates to legal. Personally, I'm not comfortable going that route, but I'm not in a position to judge those that do.

Douglas Macgregor is a vile pro Putin propagandist.

Oh geez man where did I ever suggest moving anywhere without boots on the ground?!? I'm suggesting worth checking out for many. The advantages of the Colombia retirement visa offer are dramatic over Thailand and Spain. Much lower financial requirements. Can buy real estate without onerous foreigner penalties. 5 year path to perm residence or citizenship. Instant entry into a world class rated health care system for a very low cost and covering all conditions. As said based on my research I think Armenia Colombia might be a particularly attractive choice as far as balance of lower cost and amenities. But obviously different people have different personal tastes and priorities. For a detailed view of Armenia there is the Gran Colombia channel sample posted previously with hundreds of videos. He does a weekly live Q and A called Coffee Time. A positive first impression from an expat who was living in Manizales at the time and previously Medellin.

I wasn’t taught that they weren't part of Asia either. It was referred to as the Indian subcontinent instead of South Asia. Just a different emphasis.

No he is not.

Maga is a fascist movement and the feed on cruelty

Actually, I felt my grade school geography curriculum was good but at that time Indian migrants weren't on the U.S. radar like they would have been in the U.K. with the huge South Asian demographic. Plenty about India and Pakistan was taught but in my case anyway classifying them as part of Asia was missing. As they are so distinct not sure that's such a big deal. Consider Israel. Most people think Middle East. That fact that it's geographically in Asia changes what exactly, except to win the prize in a quiz game.

Deli Boys. Good fun.

Yeah growing up in the U.S. never heard of South Asia but lots about Southeast Asia. India was viewed as it's own thing. Probably a racial thing as well seeing Indians as very different than Chinese. etc. I was well into advanced adulthood before I learned that Israel was part of Asia! Not to mention all the different "countries" in the UK (ha ha).

That's distorted. They specifically say do not become a tax resident there if you're wealthy. I agree. So only 6 months a year

If I had been there, I would have said that. Yes I've been researching Colombia for many years and am very familiar with all the better known youtubers. I like Life With David but it's obvious he's one of those "seek danger" types. He goes places and does things no normal tourist or expat would intentionally do for clicks. Your post is rather distorted as to what I said. I wasn't suggesting Colombia. I was suggesting looking specifically into ARMENIA Colombia. I would also suggest looking into MANIZALES and BUCARAMUNGA. But Armenia is big enough with a population of 400K not a small town. Manizales in the same coffee region has a much better variety international restaurants. Bigger shopping available in Pereira the biggest coffee region city but I wouldn't suggest living there. The latter two are bigger more sophisticated cities than Armenia but all three are relative safe for Colombia. Armenia has an airport but bigger one in Pereira. Would not suggest Medellin, Bogota, or coastal cities. At home would you go into a dodgy neighborhood alone at night? It's more like that. You learn what's bad. In Armenia the entire North Side is richer and safer vs. the less so South Side. So you live in and hang out on the North Side. Not rocket science. Think Chicago. Yes short of going there, I've gone as deep as possible. If you want to PM me for research suggestions about it, you're welcome. Colombia has great advantages over those other places you mentioned: Very low financial requirements. Path to citizenship. The best health care scheme I have ever heard of for expats in a lower cost country. No issue with preexisting conditions. France is also great for that but not a lower cost country. Do whatever you want. I am only saying IF I wasn't basically more or less "stuck" in Thailand and I was new to expatriation, the first place I would go to for boots on the ground exploration is the coffee region of Colombia, specifically Armenia.

LIES!

If they haven't murdered García already, it won't be long. Garcia is not a gang member, not a terrorist, and was deprived of due process before being disappeared. Any American who thinks this is OK aren't real Americans in my book.

In effect the exact same situation. India is not a place to live permanently visa wise if you're going there to retire unless Indian background or by marriage.

That's completely different.

You just said only 180 days annually. That's not a retirement visa replacement
