“The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals,” Petro wrote. Petro said even though there were 15,660 Americans without legal immigration status in Colombia, he would never carry out a raid to return handcuffed Americans to the United States. “We are the opposite of the Nazis,” he wrote, in a jab at Trump. Mexico also refused a request last week to let a U.S. military aircraft land with migrants.

        “Can” does not mean “should”.

        America has a long history of bullying Central and South America. The current situation is unfortunate, but not entirely surprising.

          Im just not surprised by anything these days. Whatever is the worst thing I can think of happening is nearly always an underestimate.

          The United States is just an embarrassment on every level.

            Personally, I am hoping it is part of a lifecycle, and that the dawn of a new golden age will happen after Reconstruction v2.0 has thoroughly removed the poison from America’s veins.

              It might be, but this kind of change only happens with a blood sacrifice, and Americans won’t do that. So, this spell cannot be broken.
