DR Congo accepts first set of deportees from the US

That’s not the question that was asked though. The first question implies that the goal is to responsibly deport them.

You can see Republicans saying literally that in so many threads they are failed people and they should not feel welcomed in civil society 

I am not mixing anything up... UN warns South Sudan at risk of ‘full-scale famine’ as fighting intensifies: UN aid chief Tom Fletcher says hunger is tightening its grip amid rising humanitarian needs and intensifying fighting. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/17/un-warns-south-sudan-at-risk-of-full-scale-famine-as-fighting-intensifies

There is only two sad paths: they are held for ransom and the family extorted until good people are elected, or they disappear forever and suffer the fate of slaves.

> 3 years from now is a long time. I admire your optimism that this will end in 3 years.

Let us not delude ourselves either... for a lot of these people, the US *is* their home. Its where they lived, worked, knew people, and was more a home than wherever they originally came from years or even decades ago. That is after all, the sole appeal of America... the promise of a place where anyone tired, poor, huddled masses etc could build a new life. Their only real crime was believing that lie.

That’s the problem, though these people are stateless in a way. They are in the USA illegally and their home countries don’t want them back because they can’t really prove that they are from those places even though they probably are.

It will happen again Trump got elected twice Republicans will ensure they will do this again.

Unfortunately dems have no backbone outside some frowns and strong worded letters.

Then they should have gone back. Migrants from countries that have no active war or natural disaster should not be given refugee status.

You miss being oblivious to all the atrocities your countries has committed while condemning many others?

Has there ever been a good guy empire?

even this is wrong, yes we have always been this way. * [**Operation LAC**](https://www.google.com/search?q=Operation+LAC&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS1196US1196&oq=chemical+testing+on+us+citizens&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDMzMjRqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfBFTFPKsdiqRO_ts3h6mM2JoUoe-mwqvbC1jcvGC4V3mrfEM7HxlKgwyD8PADV6qmy4JiaoSp83galjM-WH7eMAiRghscJrcHzTuTWeW_2bCYHmO6i8kU97gCIby1e7JDRhFGiN0hUZXTxAgzwTmve0jd9FluOR-VrYYgjzXiRwQF8&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiunoyDuPiTAxVE_wIHHQDYNpkQgK4QegQIAxAB) **(Large Area Coverage):** In the 1950s, the Army sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide—a chemical thought to be a carcinogen—over multiple U.S. and Canadian cities to simulate chemical weapon dispersal. * [**St. Louis Dispersion**](https://www.google.com/search?q=St.+Louis+Dispersion&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS1196US1196&oq=chemical+testing+on+us+citizens&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDMzMjRqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfBFTFPKsdiqRO_ts3h6mM2JoUoe-mwqvbC1jcvGC4V3mrfEM7HxlKgwyD8PADV6qmy4JiaoSp83galjM-WH7eMAiRghscJrcHzTuTWeW_2bCYHmO6i8kU97gCIby1e7JDRhFGiN0hUZXTxAgzwTmve0jd9FluOR-VrYYgjzXiRwQF8&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiunoyDuPiTAxVE_wIHHQDYNpkQgK4QegQIAxAD)**:** During the 1950s and 60s, the Army sprayed chemicals on the predominantly Black Pruitt-Igoe housing project, leading to long-term health concerns from residents regarding cancer and rare diseases. * [**Edgewood/Aberdeen Experiments**](https://www.google.com/search?q=Edgewood%2FAberdeen+Experiments&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS1196US1196&oq=chemical+testing+on+us+citizens&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDMzMjRqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfBFTFPKsdiqRO_ts3h6mM2JoUoe-mwqvbC1jcvGC4V3mrfEM7HxlKgwyD8PADV6qmy4JiaoSp83galjM-WH7eMAiRghscJrcHzTuTWeW_2bCYHmO6i8kU97gCIby1e7JDRhFGiN0hUZXTxAgzwTmve0jd9FluOR-VrYYgjzXiRwQF8&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiunoyDuPiTAxVE_wIHHQDYNpkQgK4QegQIAxAF) **(1955–1975):** Approximately 7,000 soldiers were exposed to over 250 different chemicals, including nerve agents and incapacitating agents like BZ. * [**Project MKULTRA**](https://www.google.com/search?q=Project+MKULTRA&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS1196US1196&oq=chemical+testing+on+us+citizens&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDMzMjRqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfBFTFPKsdiqRO_ts3h6mM2JoUoe-mwqvbC1jcvGC4V3mrfEM7HxlKgwyD8PADV6qmy4JiaoSp83galjM-WH7eMAiRghscJrcHzTuTWeW_2bCYHmO6i8kU97gCIby1e7JDRhFGiN0hUZXTxAgzwTmve0jd9FluOR-VrYYgjzXiRwQF8&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiunoyDuPiTAxVE_wIHHQDYNpkQgK4QegQIAxAH) **(1950s–60s):** The CIA ran a secret program administering LSD and other drugs to unwitting citizens to study mind control and interrogation techniques.

Just because most of the populace ignores it or doesnt bother to learn about it doesnt mean we've ever been "good guys"

The US joined the war several years in. All after both the government and the public supported refusing Jewish refugees asylum. There was widespread support for the Nazis in both the news and in business until the US got involved more actively. During this period they were charging their allies for any help they gave. They locked their own ethnically Japanese citizens in camps after stealing their property (which was never returned) all while their white soldiers were trying (violently) to actively enforce their racial segregation in countries that didn't do that (with fairly frequent sexual abuse and violence towards the locals on top too). They have since spent the next 70+ years telling everyone that there's no possible way that they could have won without them. They nuked two cities killing countless civilians. They were *definitely* not the good guys during that period. Everything the US did was motivated by self interest.

Kinda waited till the last moment on that one.

Americans did a lot of racist and evil shit during WW2. The only leg you have to stand on is that America's opponents were doing a genocide and mass raping the Pacific. Doesn't really mean America was "good", except by comparison.

Bro objectively, it would have been far bloodier for both sides. Bombing a city entirely is never a good idea, but the allies already been annhilating civilians with napalm, and had wiped out cities of refugees in Germany. WW2 was the worst event in history because it robbed countries of the capacity to care for life. If it hadn't happened millions more would have died. And given Japan's monstrous r*** and infanticide across Asia and the Pacific, they 100% needed to be stopped and stripped of a military. Make no mistake, America was horrible to civilians, but the Imperial Japanese were vastly worse.

Lets also keep it even more straight, Japan was already willing to surrender with a caveat that the emperor stayed the same. we nuked two cities and killed 250k+ people because the US wasnt happy with the terms of the surrender. The allies wanted it to be unconditional and Japan wanted it to be conditional. we also fire bombed 60 cities and killed 300k+ people prior to dropping nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

DRC is Congo, not Columbia. Have you ever been to Congo? Sounds like your DRC story is just something you read on another sub and seem to think it was about Columbia. The guy who replied to you doesn't believe the Congo story because he has lived there. He did not say anything about Columbia. Why are you talking about Columbia when this story is about Congo.
