Colombia’s president calls for migrants to leave jobs in US and return home
 
Fri, 31 Jan, 2025 - 13:54
 
Colombia’s president is calling on his compatriots working without legal status in the US to leave their jobs and return home as soon as possible.

“Wealth is only produced by the working people,” Gustavo Petro said in an early morning post on X, formerly Twitter.

“Let’s build social wealth in Colombia.”

 
The leftist president said his government would provide loans to those who take up his offer to return home and enlist in one of its programmes to start a business.

Mr Petro made his comments following a bitter feud over immigration last weekend with US President Donald Trump that nearly triggered a trade war and rupture in diplomatic relations between the US and its historic ally in South America.

Mr Petro, in an earlier social media storm, accused the Trump administration of mistreating migrants who entered the US illegally by handcuffing them and removing them on military flights to Latin America.

Mr Trump exploded when Mr Petro denied two such flights permission to land.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Lol, He (Columbia Socialist President) thinks this is some sort of threat to the US.... Obviously those he pretends to be talking to are unlikely to hear it or care.

When will the illegals care to listen, when the ICE deportations go beyond a few thousand to millions.

Didn't all of this get started under GWB's Faith-based initiatives to let faith-based organizations take over charity work? They sure figured out how to milk the system.
