“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.

      Persons, groups of people, governments, territories, borders, citizens, immigrants. I’m pretty sure Nazi Germany had every one of these and now that Trump is president, I’m supposed to believe that we have all of these coincidentally? Next stop: Auschwitz.

      Mass deportations of legal citizens, sure. Nothing wrong with deporting illegal migrants.

      If it was Americans illegally living in ,Colombia you’d be cheering for them to send the American back to the US.

      Also, the actual prelude to death camps is banning and removing guns from the population.

        you realize that’s what he’s already trying to do right?

        That’s what ending birthright citizenship is all about. Millions of people who are currently considered to be American citizens will have that stripped from them and then they are free to be deported

        Do you know that the Jewish population in Germany were citizens? And then Hitler took their citizenship away. Just like they used to have rights, until they didn’t. Besides, just because something’s legal, doesn’t make it right. What’s legal and what’s not can change in the blink of an eye.

          Yes. That’s not what’s happening here. None of the people being deported were ever citizens.

        This person’s outright sadistic blindness or trolling aside, anyone reading this comment with good faith and not immediately having an aneurysm should remember that the once and current president once said, and I quote:

        I like taking guns away early. Take the guns first, go through due process second.

              The link that was posted gave context. He wasn’t trying to disarm the population, he was talking about confiscating a firearm from someone who’s been flagged as about to harm themselves or others.

              In your own damn link it says he was talking about those who are “red flagged”, or is alerted to authorities as someone who might do something. You know, like when someone posts a manifesto online, he was saying they should be able to confiscate their gun and then have the court process.

              He certainly wasn’t saying he wants to disarm regular citizens.

                well, you clearly demonstrated your reading comprehension on the Snopes article… perhaps you should exercise that same skill on my comment because nowhere did i mention any of that nonsense you replied with.

                  Right, you didn’t give any context to the quote and tried to insinuate he wanted to disarm the population.

              It’s so easy when you claim everything you dislike are “Nazi things”

              If Trump came out and said breathing is good, you’d start screaming that breathing is what nazis do.

                Rich coming from the people who call everything they dislike ‘woke’ and uncritically believe any stupid shit that comes out of the host of celebrity apprentices’ mouth.

                Enjoy the consequences of believing that everything will just work out in the end because god loves you

                  I only call things that are tied to Marxist theory by way of identity politics “woke”. Firing people who head giant departments and are doing a poor job of it isn’t “woke”, it’s holding people accountable. If you don’t do your job well, you should be fired. It’s not that hard.

                  And I’m agnostic, but love that Insta-hate towards people who practice religion, that’ll work out for you in the end. :)

                  I personally think making changes takes action, and that’s what we’re getting now. Action.

        Jews weren’t “legal citizens” in Nazi Germany. What is and isn’t “legal” is entirely made up.

          They were prior to the law change. There is no law change here. The people being deported from the US were never us citizens.

            Even if you could prove that those people aren’t here legally, Trump is changing the laws. He wants to end Birth Right citizenship.

                    I think Trump has a long history of racism and it will either bake it into law that Europeans get preferred treatment or it will be selectively enforced.

                    Btw, why are you using two questions marks? Do you think doing it makes you look more expressive?

                The shit he signed into law says NOTHING about birther tourism or any other kind of tourism. Just delete the fourteenth amendment. Cause fuck the constitution right. Is that what you support.

                  No, I don’t support deleting the constitution.

                  It doesn’t have to say it, that’s just what it’s for.
