Colombian President Gustavo Petro is calling undocumented Colombian nationals in the United States to return to their home country "as soon as possible." He also announced that his administration would seek to provide financial credits to those who choose to do so and request one.
"I ask Colombian men and women without documents in the U.S. to leave their jobs immediately in that country and return to Colombia as soon as possible," Petro said through a post on X on Friday. "Wealth is produced only by the working people. The Department of Social Prosperity (DPS) will seek to provide productive loans to those who return and enroll in its programs. Let's build social wealth in Colombia."
