The rules have changed in the last few months with regard to people flooding north from Latin America, and some national leaders in that part of the world are still getting the message. On Saturday, the Venezuelan regime of El Presidente Nicholas Maduro announced it would resume accepting repatriation flights from the United States. The Venezuelan government had stopped accepting those flights earlier in March but has apparently had a change of heart.

Venezuela will resume accepting deportation flights from the US after Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro suspended the flights earlier this month.

Jorge Rodríguez, the president of Venezuela's Assembly and chief negotiator with the U.S. announced the change in policy on Saturday.

"We have agreed with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants with an initial flight tomorrow, Sunday," Rodriguez said.

He added that the deal with the U.S. secured the "return of our compatriots to their nation with the safeguard of their Human Rights."

For the safeguard of their human rights?

Most, if not all, of the people being repatriated are known gang members, many with criminal records north and south of the Mexico/U.S. border. It's doubtful in the extreme that Jorge Rodríguez or anyone else in the Venezuelan government is overly concerned with the "human rights" of these goblins. But there is a message to be sent. Senor Rodríguez continued:

Rodriguez referenced the deportation of some Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador in his statement. President Donald Trump's administration has sent some Venezuelan members of the Tren de Aragua gang to the country.

"Migrating is not a crime and we will not rest until we achieve the return of all those who require it and until we rescue our brothers kidnapped in El Salvador," Rodríguez said in a statement.

It's important to note that migrating is indeed a crime if you enter another country illegally - as the people we are sending back to Venezuela have done. We can scarcely blame the Venezuelan government for not understanding this; right here in the United States, most Democrat politicians seem incapable of absorbing this fact. And note, once again, the posturing: "Our brothers kidnapped in El Salvador." Venezuela isn't about to mount a military operation to retrieve Tren de Aragua members currently housed in that El Salvadoran facility; this is an exercise in chest-thumping, nothing more.

For now, though, Venezuela will be taking its people back from the United States. The first flight is reported to take place on Sunday. Venezuela had been accepting these flights ever since early February, after a meeting between Venezuelan officials and the U.S. Presidential Special Envoy Ric Grenell, who flew to Caracas to explain to Venezuela what the new rules were. That, plus the U.S. seizure of a couple of the Venezuelan president's luxury aircraft, convinced the Venezuelan government that cooperation was probably the smart thing to do, at least until the temporary cessation in March.

That's enough to make one wonder if a quiet phone call from someone in the Trump administration was behind this latest change of heart.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
