Colombia’s Socialist President, Humbled by Trump, Tells Illegals to Come Home
Colombia’s far-left President Gustavo Petro on Friday morning called for Colombian migrants illegally in the United States to return to their country “as soon as possible.”
Petro – who recently asserted he would stop using Twitter (or “X”) and move to another social media platform after he caused a serious but short-lived diplomatic crisis via the site – used Twitter to issue the call for the return of illegal Colombian migrants, promising them financial aid through government social assistance programs.
Le solicito a las colombianas y colombianos sin documentos en EEUU dejar sus trabajos de inmediato en ese país y retornar a Colombia lo más pronto posible
La riqueza la produce solo el pueblo trabajador.
El Departamento de Prosperidad Social, DPS, buscará entregar créditos…
