Trump’s Crackdown On Countries Not Taking Back Deportees Gets Fast Results

The Lid: Here’s a story you won’t hear about from the mainstream media.

President Trump has ‘historic progress’ in cracking down on deportation deadbeats–countries that would refuse or delay taking back their people when deported from the U.S.

Early in his presidency, Trump issued an executive order to stop issuing visas to the worst-offending countries who wouldn’t accept their deportees back. And he followed out by warning that even broader sanctions would be close behind if they didn’t clean up their acts.

Per the Washington Times:

Sierra Leone for years had thumbed its nose at U.S. officials, slow-walking deportations so badly that it earned its way onto Homeland Security’s “recalcitrant country” naughty list. Over the last two years of the Obama administration, Sierra Leone took back just 21 deportees.

President Trump took office vowing action, and one of his first executive orders instructed his administration to stop issuing visas to the worst-offending countries. The Sierra Leone government was targeted with sanctions in August 2017, and the change came quickly, with 44 deportees sent back that year, and 79 shipped back in fiscal 2018.  Keep Reading

  1. Yet nowhere in the post does it mention this fun fact…

    “According to U.S. foreign assistance statistics, Sierra Leone will receive $14.4 million in foreign aid from the U.S. in 2019”

    I say f*ck ’em in the wallet. It works 100% of the time with these shit-hole nations. Who they gonna go cry to, the UN?

  2. @WDS, that makes those 79 worth $14.4 million. Incarcerating them costs around $30K/year each on average which is $2.37 million, and cost savings can be had if they’re given minimum comforts. Keeping them in prison saves more than $12 million, and no money goes into corrupt politicians’ pockets.
