why not, exactly

its a complicated problem.. i wish we had and could all agree on a solution.. cause i think its gonna get worse before it gets better.

we've done enough damage; a lot of what's going on in central america is the longterm result of our interference. since we're no good at cleaning things up and fabulously talented at screwing them up, we should stay out of it, BUT we should recognize that the asylum-seekers are in serious danger and need our help, not our fear or scorn.

The only country the USA should help right now with TAXPAYER money is the USA.
Environmental cleanups, water supplies, Veteran benefits/health-care/insurance/pensions, road, bridges, schools, infrastructure, housing....etc.

Clean up your own mess before you try (and generally fail) to clean up the mess in other countries.
It's time the USA took care of its own problems.

If we do not invest more into improving our societies in the Americas we are fast heading for "Road Warrior" territory. Those who have seen the movie series will know what I'm talking about unless you happen to be in with the Kock brothers bunch that caused out current imbalance of power.

There are no doubt policies the US is neglecting in Central America, but we cannot allow ourselves to become an economic overflow zone for a near constant outflow of economic refugees, no matter what our current policies.

It is certainly better than destabilizing them!

It is in their interest and in your interest to do so. I too am British but it only makes good sense to me for you in US do this if you wish to prevent a human desire to want to migrate to where they will have a better chance of economic success.

I am British but I believe it is everyone's interest to support nations that are struggling. However this needs to be done very carefully as the west tends to mess things up a lot.
