I noticed that Columbia wasn't included in this action.
Are you referring to the South American nation that is correctly spelled as Colombia? Colombia is one of the closest allies of the US in the western hemisphere. Colombia is not sending a huge number of undocumented immigrants to the USA. In fact, Colombia is dealing with well over a million refugees that have crossed its border from Venezuela. The best thing the USA can do is to continue working with Colombia so they can help those refugees integrate into their economy and society. Later, if the situation in Venezuela ever changes for the better, many of the suffering people from Venezuela will return home.

Those "turd world ghettos" were set up by the United States controlling the unsuspecting and too comfortable Mayan and Spanish Colonist descendants.

How many military bases does the United States have in Central America?

More than Russia has outside its borders (which is no more than 10).
More than Russia, France, and England have combined (which is no more than 40).

How many Central American countries outside the gun manufacturer's tortured 3? 4.
so that would be a Total of 7 countries with way more than 5 military bases per Central American Nation.

Talk about a Pentagon.

Small and Cheap government sure is big and expensive. Intrusive too. I'm sure we won't make enemies of those whose lands we, overwatch, threaten, and usurp.
Will our OUTER SPACE FORCE also be flying the flag over them now?

Let China and Russia give them money. Make sense for the wall even more.


Looks like Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala are going to pay for the wall.

Nice theory, the reality has shown that paying foreign aid does us absolutely no good. If it did, we wouldn't be having all these caravans now. Logic says that if what you have been doing for a long time hasn't been working, you try something else.

You don't want to pay for the military, roads, the rich won't pay them for you (maybe for themselves the ones they need themselves against their business enemies), unless you make them.

That is the price of business. Taxation of those chosen by Democracy and Representatives to tax sounds like the Democratic Republic to me. But I hear that more and more conservatives are favoring fascism since the end of the civil rights movement in the 80s. With the end of the civil rights movement, so ended the drop in implicit and explicit studied racism. Stupidities and Simplizations like that are often all the rage with a useful and manipulatable work force.

Taxation of the middle class and below IS theft.
"Tax-deductible charity" is not charity, it is a tax substitution.


You can never con a ******, but you can negotiate with a businessman. Fancy that.

I haven't noticed any Colombian caravans lately, have you?
