Remember those dangerous gang members we deported to El Salvador?

[SavannahMann]

Those dangerous felons. The Rapists, Murderers, Drug Dealers, Violent Criminals we sent to El Salvador? The Ones we had to deport to El Salvador because they were so dangerous to the American People? The ones we were told were extremely violent criminals and gang leaders?

Good news. They're free. Out of the prison and home in Venezuela. Home and you're going to like this, almost certainly planning to return to the United States to continue Raping, Robbing, Murdering, Smuggling Drugs, taking the place of Epstein in procuring little girls for Trump's Parties.

We were told these people were dangerous extreme criminals. They needed to be locked up for life. We were told that this move guaranteed that they would never again threaten America or commit crimes against Americans again.

How many believe none of these Gang Members will be back in the United States before Trump's next State of the Union?

It may be premature to assume they'll be walking free:

"It was not immediately clear if these Venezuelans would be held as prisoners when they return to their home country."

 

[Torus34]

American mainland prisons are quite secure. This cannot be said for those located in other countries. If we apprehend someone committing a serious crime in the US that individual, after trial and conviction, can be more securely kept from harming us by putting him/her in a US mainland prison.

Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . informed.

They ain't coming back unless we get another f'n open border Democrat as president.
I am surprised that there isn't more concern for their welfare. Are these gang members still alive? They came for sanctuary and their home country wouldn't take them back initially. Van Hollan needs to fo another road trip.

Venezuela will probably lock up prisoners they deem to be enemies to regime. Like for example those who participated in peaceful protests against the government. While small share of prisoners that are dangerous criminals will likely be set free if they haven't commit any crimes related to Venezuela.

His only 'crime' is being Venezuelan and having tattoos, says brother of man 'thrown to the lions' in El Salvador jail

Nelson Suarez learned his brother Arturo is - most likely - in a notorious El Salvador jail only because of a photograph he spotted on a news website of a group of inmates, with their hands and feet cuffed, heads shaved and bodies shackled together.

U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records

The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they're all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of them.

I won't claim that Venezuela is the least corrupt country in the world, but I would go out on a limb and believe they'd rather not release violent criminals into their streets if they can help it. Maduro has been trying to be seen as cracking down on crime (questionable methods and effectiveness notwithstanding), so doing that would be counterproductive to the image he's trying to put out there.

The only real crime in Venezuela is protesting the regime. Maduro doesn’t care if murders and rapists are released. He has that in common with our Democrats.

Good news? They’re free? To do what? Starve? I mean, have you been to Venezuela recently? I’m not so sure they aren’t simply swapping one hellhole for another one. In that socialist paradise, one Venezuelan bolivar is worth $0.00840. With a minimum wage of 130 bolivars a day, that comes to about $1.09, which still won’t buy the $1.50 hotdog and Coke combo at Costco. This in a country with the largest proven oil reserves on the planet.

A country the US would have been had Kamala won or could be should we not weed out the deep state corruption aligned with progressive Marxists ready to flourish again with new leadership.

So much evil that millions of migrants decided that working for the capitalist imperialists was worth leaving everything behind. Poor migrants would still be flooding here, stretching communities and public resources to the limit with even more Democratic mayors pulling up the welcome mat, if Kamala had been elected.

Just wait until all the shortages of produce/etc start hitting us.

And just wait until all the money that the migrants spent in small businesses hit us.

Because MAGA and their children sure as hell aren't going to make up the shortage of the migrant labor force and they sure as hell are not going to spend the money that all the migrants spent in US communities.

The bolded can contradict each other. A poorly run, poorly planned city may indeed allow industry/business/companies to take advantage of opportunity quickly without forethought. Resources can be strained. This, I would think, is not the norm.

Regardless, if those seeking work come from across the state line or the southern border, the result is the same. People who migrate for work are self-sufficient, by definition.

Historically, we have had to trade spies, assassins and other high value maggots to obtain the release of wrongfully held Americans. This time, we were able to do it with folks we wanted to deport anyway. Seems like a Win for Uncle Sam.

I’d be more worried if I lived under communism, like in Cuba, were making farmers toil to produce nothing is considered a right.

Because MAGA and their children sure as hell aren't going to make up the shortage of the migrant labor force and they sure as hell are not going to spend the money that all the migrants spent in US communities.

So why were Joe’s migrants going to Logan Airport in Boston or the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan? Were they lost? Aren’t the strawberry and cantaloupe fields in California—the progressive Shangri-La where illegal migrant labor is exploited by “Big Ag”? Why are we doing that when we should be investing in more productive technologies like robotics and hydroponics? At least that way Southern Californians would have water for their lawns, swimming pools, and golf courses while the liberals in San Francisco could claim credit for saving the Delta smelt.

 

[CaughtInThe]

We're so far from communism it's ridiculous.

Now, I will say that Rush Limbaugh and Fox News and Sean Hannity and a bunch of other uber rich people convinced a bunch of MAGA dumbasses that we're on the verge of communism. Because they wanted to make more money.

It was like taking candy from a baby.

You are in the wrong thread. I assume, from what you have posted, that you actually believe that Hillary supporters killed and ate babies in the non-basement pizza parlor in D.C. Conspiracy Theories is easy to find and post to. Try it.

Sigh. Biden did not open the border any more than Trump did. Why do people persist in saying this? Biden sought to honor us law and binding treaty commitments towards asylum seekers. ICE was doing much the same when I spent a bit of time on the border while Trump was president.

I think Democrats would make America Norway, if given the chance. Republicans, on the other hand, actually have a plan (and are executing on the plan) to make us Hungary.

We are talking about dangerous Gang Members. I mean, we were told that they were smuggling tons of drugs into the United States. I don't think that money is going to be in short supply when they report back to the Gang. The reason that people get involved in the Drug Smuggling business is for the huge money that is made.

They proved their loyalty by taking whatever was dished out to them and remaining loyal to the Gang. They'll be back in the Country in a couple months, and running their drug empires no problem. Hell if they donate some money to Trump's various PAC's they'll probably get a full Pardon and Citizenship. Everything is for sale with Trump.

If Biden hadn't spent his entire term fiddle-f**king around with the problem. and throwing out the red carpet that wouldn't be a problem. Numbers are going down and likely will continue if dems don't find a way to reFUBAR immigration.
