Oh, negative morally.

How does it do that? These were Colombian citizens being moved unwillingly, not refugees.

Saying the president is already unpopular and now he won’t take these people makes it sound like taking refugees would boost his popularity

Trump however by doing this shows he thinks taking refugees is a bad thing

Forcibly relocating refugees doesn’t make them no longer refugees, it just makes you (the one relocating them) a bad person/in violation of international law
