This whole "other countries won't take their people back" excuse has been around for decades from what I recall. Even before Trump it was clear to me that it was a simple lack of political will to make threats to change behavior. The tools (Visas, financial sanctions) Trump used have been available forever. When I see the Colombian President capitulate, I remember all the time I yelled at the TV about this issue and now say "yup, it was really that easy."
