I'm trying to think of anything more petty and hateful as this. I guess the administration see's a bunch of MS13 members with baseball bats trying to get into the country.

‘Demoralized’ Little League Team Shut Out of World Series by Trump’s Travel Ban

A Venezuelan Little League baseball team has been caught up in President Donald Trump’s travel ban and will be unable to compete in the World Series after being denied travel visas to the U.S. The Cacique Mara Little League team from Maracaibo, Venezuela, had qualified for the Senior League...

Senior LL team....I bet they have wives and kids in the stands.

LOL....We used to poke fun at Green Co., Virginia's HS football team. So many of their players had been "held back" that they had wives and kids in the stands.

While I do feel bad for the players, I was under the impression that they were around ten years old if not younger. They are really 15 years old, which makes them more informed about what is going on these days and so while they shouldn't miss out on the competition, in my opinion, they shouldn't be all that surprised over what has happened if they are.

God bless you and them always!!!

Looked like President Trump saved the country some grief here. I'm sure they were planning to sneak in some Tren de Aragua members as the players' and coaches "families".

The folks up in Lycoming County really don't need to have those kinds of folks on their turf.

Thats great news…we’re in full-blown eradication mode…This nation doesn’t need one more brown person in it. Not even for a brief game series.

They should be outraged at their own country.
----------

In 2025, Venezuela is listed among the countries with restrictions for entry into the United States
.

• On June 4, 2025, President Trump issued a proclamation restricting the entry of foreign nationals from a total of 19 countries, citing national security concerns.
• Venezuela is one of seven countries listed under a "partial ban".
• The restrictions mean that Venezuelan nationals are fully suspended from entry into the United States as immigrants, and their entry as nonimmigrants on B-1, B-2, F, M, and J visas is suspended. These are typically visitor visas for business, tourism, students, and exchange visitors.
• The proclamation also instructs consular officers to limit the validity period of other nonimmigrant visas, such as work visas, for nationals of these restricted countries.
• The U.S. government justified the restrictions by stating that Venezuela lacks a "competent or cooperative authority" responsible for issuing travel documents, and cited difficulties in coordinating deportation arrangements.
• The restrictions became effective on June 9, 2025.

It's important to note that the
U.S. Department of State
has issued a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory for Venezuela due to the high risk of wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure.
U.S. citizens
are strongly advised to depart Venezuela immediately. There is no U.S. Embassy or Consulate operating in Venezuela, meaning the U.S. government cannot provide emergency services or consular assistance to U.S. citizens in the country.

The Trump administrations inability to differentiate between terrorists and little league baseball players is pretty on brand.

The Venezuelan government isn't cooperating with America. There isn't any easy way to tell whether little Pablo's Uncle Chico who wants to come to WIlliamsport to watch the boy play ball is a member of Tren de Aragua or not.

And once the gang member comes to the US, the libs will do anything they can to keep him here, if you'll remember the tale of Abrego Garcia where the libs actually sent a US Senator to San Salvador to "rescue" the wife beating human trafficking MS 13 member.

I'm sure you were looking forward to watching those young boys play.

It turns out that international cooperation requires . . . international cooperation. Venezuala has declined to work with the US, so explain again why you fault the US for not working with them?

Yes, I enjoy watching the little league world series. That you see an issue with that says a lot about you.

I don't see an issue with it, so long as you do not act on any impulses. Thoughts don't harm others.

I watch college softball for similar reasons.

geezus they are coming to play baseball not sneak into the neighborhood...

I am sure that most of them are.

But that is how the hostile Venezuelan government might seek to sneak gang members in- gang members-who by the way they will not allow back into their country later.

Yes, playing games that American boys will not play.

Weird that Democrats and "not Democrats" are emotionally distraught over fifteen year old boys not being allowed to play in a little league game, but not concerned at all about fifteen and younger girls and boys being sex-trafficked across the border and transported around the U.S. with the assistance of the Autopen Administration.

My wife came here on a work visa in 2006 and is now an American citizen. She's an RN. However, her best friend who was also an RN in the same country was denied, and no specific reason was given.

Several years after she came here, my wife tried to arrange to for her mother to stay with us for awhile. That visa was also denied. The old woman is in her late 80's and has been a homemaker all her adult life. She had no plans to do anything other than hang with us and go sight-seeing....and spend money. Seems unreasonable, but this type of thing has been going on for decades. Trump is not quite the factor that some people want to him to be in this.

 

[leftwinger]

Not sure what is going on here as I dont open anything Fake News Media scum but whatever it is, I would not upset with President Trump. He is almost always proven right! We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. No questions asked.

Worry about election fraud in MN refusing to hand over dirty voter roll. All Fraud states, all chocolate cities, should be excluded from the EV count. Venezuela was fraud also.

 

[leftwinger]

Who comes with them? How much deposit is requried to get them to behave and leave when ordered?

 

[lennypartiv]

It's Maduro's team. Trump was right to not let them in.
