It's always telling when news networks pay to fly a news crew overseas to cover something. For example, CNN recently flew Anderson Cooper and a camera crew to Nepal just to talk to the foreign minister, who essentially told CNN that the rest of the world owed Nepal "reparations" in the name of "climate justice, even though climate change had nothing to do with the landslides there.
Now CBS News has flown a reporter to Liberia, where some illegal aliens from Latin America have been deported. It looks like the United States is paying Liberia millions to house these illegal aliens in what looks to be a pretty nice hotel. These people are in limbo, though, thousands of miles away from both the United States and their home countries. Just to clarify, they left their home countries and traveled thousands of miles to sneak into the U.S.
Last month, the Trump administration sent a group of deportees from countries like Brazil and Venezuela to the West African nation of Liberia.

CBS News’ @camiloreports tracked them down in a town close to the Atlantic, thousands of miles away from the U.S. and their homelands. pic.twitter.com/IjNcdKeqSs
They had the opportunity to self-deport and refused.

Oh well.

Guess they should have either self deported, or stayed in their home country in the first place. Zero sympathy here.

Shocking they don't report that these illegal immigrants were refused entry back into their own country

So we had to send them where they were welcome

Does CBS News intend to travel to their homelands to ask why their homelands didn't take them back?
— Mike Moss (@_MikeMoss) September 13, 2026
Yes, because even their own countries think they are POS and don't want them either.

My understanding is they asked not to be deported back to their home country. So they weren’t as requested. But you don’t tell that part. Why not return home? Probably wanted in their own countries.

Why aren't the home countries of these people doing the responsible thing and assisting their people? These people ending up in Africa is a direct fault of their home countries refusing to fulfill the responsibilities of governing their citizens.

So? In Morocco they take illegals to their border in the Sahara desert and drop them off there. Every non European country deports illegals. Challenge for you. Come to Thailand without a passport or identity papers and see what happens. Put your money where your mouth is.

Did they say they didn't want to go back to the countries they came from?
— Paul in Texas (@PaulMac_in_TX) September 13, 2026
They chose not to go home or they committed such heinous crimes their homelands told them to go F themselves.

Liberia has always been great! What a dream for them to go to Liberia.

Those illegal immigrants are just as Liberian as anyone born there. Surely they will assimilate quickly and enrich Liberia with their presence.

Is CBS News implying that Liberia is a s**thole country?
