You obviously haven't been to many places in the USA. I winter in Florida and I've seen whole neighborhoods here in "wealthy" coastal areas that are worse than I saw in Jamacia decades ago.

Surely you know that tens of thousands in Appalacia travel for hours and stand in line overnight outside big tens to get volunteers to extract their teeth??

Some of the waiting rooms and operating rooms are literally in pigpens (at fair grounds, etc.).

If this is 1st world, I'd like you to explain why and how???

Third world?...well, to quote the article.....

"It was a Third World scene with an American setting. Hundreds of tired and desperate people crowded around an aid worker with a bullhorn, straining to hear the instructions and worried they might be left out.

Some had arrived at the Wise County Fairgrounds in Wise, Va., two days before. They slept in cars, tents and the beds of pickup trucks, hoping to be among the first in line when the gate opened Friday before dawn. They drove in from 16 states, anxious to relieve pain, diagnose aches and see and hear better."

We are losing our country and neither party really seems to care.

The entire statement was that The 3 countries, from which there is large immigration, need more support as Columbia received when it was failing.
Each time Trump weighs in on stuff he does not understand that stuff gets worse not better.

Not cutting aid.

GranColumbia failure was a sociopolitical mess.
Venezuela helped the nearly 2 million hungry but good people of Columbia.
While Reciprocation is understood what is not accepted is the heightened crime
that is crossing into Columbia along with some of the good people.
