Attention Congress/Mr. President, Your Countrymen Need Your Help Immediately

[beautress]

Couple of questions.
What were they doing in Peru and why didnt they bail at the first sign of the virus?

It's too bad they failed to read the State Department's Travel Advisory warnings about Peru. It's all here:
Peru International Travel Information

Contact CNN or MSNBC, get them to charter a flight.

They will be able to milk the rescue for weeks.

A friend of mine just got a very distressing phone call. His daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild are trapped in Peru. Peru has closed their borders. No one in or OUT.

Why the hell they won't let anyone out is beyond me.

United Airlines was charging $25,000 for the three of them to fly out. And that was just to Mexico. Thats as far as United would take them, they would be on their own from there.

They had tickets for today. But then Peru shut the borders on Monday. So they are trapped.

$25,000. Someone at United Airlines needs to go to prison.

On top of all that, they are being charged thousands of dollars a day in hotels and food, more price gouging. They are having a very difficult time finding formula for their baby and are Ubering all over the damned countryside trying to find some.

There are a lot of Americans trapped down there. My friend's family went to the US Embassy and let them know where they are staying. The embassy would not take them in!

Mr. President/Congress: You need to send a C-130 IMMEDIATELY to Peru and rescue our citizens.

You or they can call the embassy in Peru on their behalf....

The government is not your Daddy.

Live with your choices.

Especially when some dumb Americans go to places where there's no American government to protect them.

Thank's a fuckin' lot Obama, for ending the Monroe Doctrine.

The Peruvian government is not allowing flights in. But I'm sure Trump would love it if they shot down a plane full of reporters.

 

[g5000]

There are also thousands of Americans trapped in Morocco.

Some are seniors at risk of their medications running out.

Trump needs to charter some flights with fighter escorts. He will be able to milk the rescue for weeks...

My friend's kids are being charged $1500 a day by Hilton. Massive gouging after the border was closed. And that does not include meals at the Hilton, which are also gouged bigly.

The Navy has amphibious assault ships which could easily accommodate the Americans trapped in Peru. It's about time.

An LHA has a complement of 2,000 sailors and another 2,200 Marines in an MEU. Leave the MEU behind and presto, plenty of room.

Berthing sucks. Stacked four high.

But at least they can come home.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Are these people retarded? We're in a pandemic. They are involved. Live with your decisions.

They were trying to get out. The soonest they could get out was today, for $25000. Can you afford that much?

Then the Peruvian government shut the border.

All I can say is live with your decisions, amigo. Maybe some people have to get a little smarter.

We're all in this together. Americans need to stand together. Peru should go on our "Shit List"

What are thousands of americans doing in that shithole?

Senate Democrats on Wednesday sent a letter to Pompeo calling on the secretary to do more to assist Americans abroad and immediately inform Congress of the State Department's efforts.

“Providing support and assistance to Americans abroad and ensuring their safety and well-being are among the Department’s most fundamental responsibilities,” reads the letter, led by Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member Bob Menendez (D-N.J.).

??
I suppose you understand that if a country has shut their borders, they have shut their borders.
The United States can't just fly in and start taking people out. It doesn't work that way.
At this point, the government of Peru should be providing them whatever assistance they need. If not, then that is not a place I would ever go in the first place.
When did they go there? Since January?
