El Salvador Makes Generous Offer To Accept Deportees From Any Nationality — Including U.S. CRIMINALS


Following Marco Rubio’s visit, the President of El Salvador just made a very generous offer to the United States.

President Bukele has agreed to accept deportees from any nationality in El Salvador’s prisons.

This includes not only illegal aliens from Mexico or South America, but criminal U.S. citizens as well!

Check out the news:

El Salvador’s prisons are infamous on the world stage for their strict, no-nonsense tactics when it comes to reforming and punishing dangerous criminals…

Forbes reported:

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele offered to house criminals from any nationality deported from the U.S.—including “dangerous criminals” who are American citizens—in his country’s jails, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday, calling the offer “extraordinary.”

Rubio, who is on a diplomatic visit to El Salvador, told reporters in a news conference that Bukele has “agreed to accept for deportation any illegal alien in the United States who is a criminal from any nationality.”

Bukele also offered to house in his country’s jails “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of U.S. citizenship and legal residents.”

Aside from these offers, Bukele also agreed to continue with “full cooperation” in taking back Salvadorans deported from the U.S.

NPR added:

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said late Monday that El Salvador’s president has offered to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality, including violent American criminals now imprisoned in the United States.

President Nayib Bukele “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” Rubio said at a signing ceremony for an unrelated civil nuclear agreement with El Salvador’s foreign minister.

“He’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentence in the United States even though they’re U.S. citizens or legal residents,” Rubio said. He had just met with Bukele at his lakeside country house outside San Salvador for several hours.

After Rubio spoke, a U.S. official said the Trump administration had no current plans to try to deport American citizens, but said Bukele’s offer was significant. The U.S. government cannot deport American citizens and such a move would be met with significant legal challenges.

Rubio was visiting El Salvador to press a friendly government to do more to meet Trump administration demands for a major crackdown on immigration amid turmoil in Washington over the status of the government’s main foreign development agency.

El Salvador is rapidly becoming one of America’s biggest allies.
