MEXICO CITY (AP) — The United States pledged $5.8 billion in aid and investment Tuesday for strengthening government and economic development in Central America, and another $4.8 billion in development aid for southern Mexico.
The U.S aid aims to promote better security conditions and job opportunities as part of a regional plan to allow Central Americans and Mexicans to remain in their countries and not have to emigrate.
The plan was announced in a joint U.S.-Mexican statement released by the State Department and read aloud by Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard in the Mexican capital.
Now this pizzes me off. Mexico needs to be giving us $5 billion not the other way around. This had beeter be an underhanded tactic by Trump to get the $5 billion funded by Congress so he can divert it to our border.
This is a positive I agree with Trump for once, address the cause rather than the symptom.
