I have never read a single specific example of any crime the Colombians committed or any shenanigans  allowing them to stay in the US while waiting for a court case.  But I am happy to be educated.  Could you please provide an example.  

Where would you read such a thing?

Great question!

BOGOTÁ, Colombia — President Donald Trump threatened to punish Colombia with tariffs, a travel ban and other sanctions to compel it to accept deportation flights carrying “Illegal Criminals.” But Colombian officials said there were no criminals among the two planeloads of migrants the U.S. government sent over Tuesday.

 

 

Among the more than 200 deportees were two pregnant women and more than 20 children, Colombian officials said after the flights landed.

Children being 18 and under. 

 

Great we got the pregnant women out before they had their anchor babies. That would have cost us at least half a million dollars for just those two.

So, you are unable to have any sort of real conversation, yes? Do you support open borders and mass migration? If so, good for you. But most Americans do not want open borders and mass migration, so they voted against the party that promotes those things. 

 

You have no idea if the "children" or the pregnant women are criminals, or even if what the Colombians say is even true. Remember, the Colombians said they were not going to take the illegals back, and few hours later they did, so they are proven liars.  

 

They were in the United States illegally, and they are home now. I think it's great. That it makes you unhappy is just a bonus.

Let's agree on the need to have secure borders and the deportation of illegal immigrants and agree to disagree on the need to dehumanize and degrade them.

Which a Harris administration never would have done. They would have just opened the boarder wider.

You seem to be attempting to claim the moral high ground by misrepresenting what I said.

 

What have I said that is dehumanizing and degrading?

In that case, we are basically in agreement and this old left-wing liberal nut and you can walk peacefully together into the sunset.  🙂
