What is really going on with these people?
Why are so many people leaving their countries and why are they putting their lives and the lives of their children in such danger?
Are economic conditions that dire in those countries? It sure as hell is not crime that they are afraid of.

Just ask the people in the caravans why they are choosing to leave their homes and their countries. They might not know the names, but they do know the crippling effects.
One out of every 3 of them is likely to tell you of a desaparecido who is a relative.

Those three countries need investment and assistance in Nation building, their political systems are corrupt or dis-functional.

“Desaparecidos” is the story of Latin America, in some countries more than others.
Name a country and there is evidence of this most unfortunate history, generally connected to the nature of right-wing governments, the drug trade, and a combination of these two, as a result of America’s ill-conceived interference in the affairs of Latin America.
Now, the problems created in Latin America have boomeranged and are now showing up on America’s border.
Karma.

Poverty seems to be the driving force.
The CIA Factbook also explains that poverty is so widespread in Guatemala that nearly half the children under five years of age are malnourished.
Nearly 60 per cent of the country lives below the poverty line, and about 23 per cent are classified as living in extreme poverty.
Much of the country’s political and economic instability stems from its civil war, which took place between 1960 and 1996 and left about 200,000 civilians dead.

The only way I would have been in danger was if Pam Am fell out of the sky.
I don't have problem with people seeking a better life but it is the way it's done and the danger they are putting themselves in.

Again, I'm not questioning the motive.
Why not leave the kids with family and send for them later?.
Maybe there aren't any good answers.

Hola...The people running from poverty...where will the family get money to feed another mouth????
It happened in Guyana people were leaving their children with relatives and they headded to different countries....and it was a bit bad..as its hardship on the family..
Its not a nice scene...the clear motive is to live better and provide for family...
we get obsessed by someone at the border...but do you realise the hardship endured to get to that point..
weeks upon weeks..starving,sweating,tired but they push on....
they just dont turn up at any border overnoight.
the African migrants travelling from Africa...its months to get to Europe sometimes years..same with the Syrians...and when they show up we say you are jumping the line..
My friend you and I GOT LUCKY...yes LUCKY to be where we are...without having to walk thousand of miles and suffer fatigue and starvation.
not all can travel by PAN AM...

It is rhetorical by the way.

Hola...I do not concur with the ideology question????
Leaders of third world countries are corrupt and dont give a damn about the people...
corruption is steeped in US dollars...not rupees..I know you are suggesting that unc sam should not be blamed...if Unc Sam had minded his own gadaam business and stay out of Guyana in 1960's we would all be still in Guyana..
Read a bit ..it will not harm you..
anyway poor people dont give crap about ideology..especially without jobs,and hungry belly..
just so you know those Latin American countries were termed Banana republics because the big boys with cash (FROM AMERICA)bought up all arable lands...pushed farmers out and steam rolled them into poverty...all the whilst dutifully paying the corrupt leaders..
Whose ideology was that???
We cant roll back things but we can learn from it..and those like you and me who are safely nestled in North America chomping down down on hamburgers and being fed a bunch of capitalism bullshit....need to open our chest..accept the truth and look in the mirror.

Hola....remigrants are olderand semi retired and they dont need the hassle..they are comfortable going to America or Canada for a nice life and cant be bothered about other issues except their health.
As for socialism ....please verify and analyse...CAPITALISM IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF SOCIALISM?COMMUNISM...its opioids to the people....feed them pay them a paltry sum and allow them to talk freely....but they are controlled...by what they see and hear from the present day govt..as well as by the media..
how does this differ..
I think you are a bright fella...but this thing is not guess work...get your books out and find out why China is top of the totem pole....I
Democracy is the right to choose wrong...talk wrong and believe you are right.
