That we have so involved ourselves in the affairs of Central America is why so many leave to come here. Granted, I could understand the argument as to why you would want to come to the country that helped undermine and destroy your country but when left with few choices.........

How is the opposition party far right? How is 100's of thousands of people on the street "Trump's Efforts"?

This also isn't a coup, can you people try to be fair for even a second?

There is no reason to believe this will be different than any other thing we have involved ourselves in. Generally when we get involved the we install some military leader. That indeed can be fairly described as "far right".

Countries we helped destroy.



So by that rationale we should be taking in millions of people from the Middle East too?

Why is that the option as opposed to not destroying other countries? But yes, I support allowing people in from Middle Eastern countries we have destroyed.

I had no idea we are connected by land to the Middle East.

Or that we are anywhere near there.
