Mexico is an ally. There is nothing to fear. Mexico and the three Northern Triad countries of Central America are all allies to the USA.
These countries are overwhelmed with the climate crisis. A secondary issue is the drug cartels, but, they are dealing with the climate crisis as well.
The migrants coming into the USA illegally face many problems and it is those problems that brings them to the USA. It is survival. Many are climate refugees. As allies facing a different struggle than war they come to us for relief. The majority of those crossing the USA border are poor and destitute without violence in mind or munitions to threaten anyone they meet at the border. The cartels are the only violent threat to Border Guards.
The migrants would still be home if the USA right wing extremist Republicans didn’t end the progressive programs of the USA to build those countries into stronger allies. Sure there is corruption. But, our programs were working, including priorities to end that corruption.
So. All the hubbub about the insecurity of the USA southern border is nothing but politics. There is absolutely nothing to fear from these people. They are being treated as chattel by the southern border states and being shipped north. The northern states need support from the federal government to absorb all the costs that go along with housing them, providing medical care, and processing them.
Anyone know how many immigration courts are in the northern tier states?
(click here) It would seem as though migrants to the USA, be they legal or illegal, are peaceful people. They love freedom.
The USA is a mighty nation of mostly moral people. Being the only remaining Superpower is an inconvenient responsibility and unfortunately Americans don’t have the luxury of looking the other way.
It is time Americans become aware of successful programs ended by the Trump White House of the very countries now shedding citizens as migrants headed north.
None of the Northern Triad governments are promoting Illegal migration.
There is nothing to fear. I will say this, as illegal migrants come unprepared for cultural differences including language and the free flowing gun supply in the USA there is crime. But, that is more reason to incentivize the successful programs through USAid to these people to remain in their own countries.
The bottom line is the Republicans that are now in seats in the House and Senate are completely wrong in their priorities. It is highly unethical for freely elected officials to use their power to cause problems that lead to their own politics.
Fully fund Ukraine, Israel and return progressive programs to Central America.
