I like how his statement paints not accepting refugees as a negative action
Getting married to a Colombian woman as an America. Is this going to hinder her from getting a marriage visa and coming to America with me?
With all the executive orders he's spewing forth, I wouldn't be surprised if you run into some roadblocks, if only out of confusion on the part of immigration officials. For both your sakes, I hope it isn't too disruptive. Mazel tov!
When did you submit the marriage visa? Also congrats! My wife is also Colombian and these last few days have been a fun time
Edit: I wish I could supply more information directly, but I am still trying to learn the visa processes. A local immigrant lawyer runs a daily Q&A stream if you want to hop in and see if you can get a slot to ask about your situation. Link: Jim Hacking immigration law. Dood is a good guy who doesn't bullshit and gets straight to the point. I hope everything goes well for you and your SO
It's anyone's guess, but Trump's an idiot.
Congratulations and commiserations!
It would be a good idea that Mexico, Columbia and other latin countries promote the Trump Wall, but expelling all US residents in their countries. A wall always works in both directions.
Seems like Trump's strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!
He's basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.
He literally is a petulant spoilt brat nappy wearing trust fund kid with unresolved daddy issues.
I feel like all economies will soon be just trading with eachother, except with the US.
They should start now. Countries should cut off trading with the US once Trump starts making threats in their direction, instead of waiting for him to make up his mind and do something. He's too used to there not being any consequences.
It's a good idea and countries started that with Russia though it's still continuing. USA would just follow that model
Do to the US what the US did to cuba? That would be so cruel.
To be fair, they are doing it to themselves.
That is the only logical step. You can’t make deals with someone who throws you under the bus at the next opportunity 🤷🏻
You missed the point where the people were cuffed the whole flight, were dehydrated and transported in military planes like cattle. That's why those planes were rejected.
The president send his own jet to get these people back because they are people not cattle.
So he saw these people were transported like cattle, dehydrated and mistreated, and instead of letting them get off the planes, he's sent them back in those same planes so he can retrieve them with normal planes?
Unless I am missing something, I feel like you'd want those people to not fly in a plane like that again.
Either the plane didn't take off in the first place, case in which rejecting it would make sense.
Or those planes landed in Colombia, then sent back so they can be brought in proper planes, extending the suffering for no reason.
The planes (there were two) landed in Brasil. I don't know if that's where they came from in the first place.
A note: Usually these people are brought back using normal commercial flights. Only this time they used military planes.
I see. I thought they landed in Colombia but were sent back to the U.S.
Thank you for the clarification
