A Century of U.S. Intervention Created the Immigration Crisis

[the other mike]

Anational spotlight now shines on the border between the United States and Mexico, where heartbreaking images of Central American children being separated from their parents and held in cages demonstrate the consequences of the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance policy” on unauthorized entry into the country, announced in May 2018. Under intense international scrutiny, Trump has now signed an executive order that will keep families detained at the border together, though it is unclear when the more than 2,300 children already separated from their guardians will be returned.

Trump has promised that keeping families together will not prevent his administration from maintaining “strong — very strong — borders,” making it abundantly clear that the crisis of mass detention and deportation at the border and throughout the U.S. is far from over. Meanwhile, Democratic rhetoric of inclusion, integration, and opportunity has failed to fundamentally question the logic of Republican calls for a strong border and the nation’s right to protect its sovereignty.

At the margins of the mainstream discursive stalemate over immigration lies over a century of historical U.S. intervention that politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle seem determined to silence. Since Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 declared the U.S.’s right to exercise an “international police power” in Latin America, the U.S. has cut deep wounds throughout the region, leaving scars that will last for generations to come. This history of intervention is inextricable from the contemporary Central American crisis of internal and international displacement and migration...

Communists' meddling in Latin America caused this problem.

I suppose we shouldn't have intervened, but that was NOT the cause.

It sounds like Trump is the only one not exploiting them, correct?

No, they were our constant excuse, these "communists". Our Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class wanted to play in their countries, much like they were able to in Cuba before Castro tossed out US corporations. Some of us recall this time very well, we watched it and we still had journalism at the time. The power structure took the term "communism", morphed its meaning into "anti-business interests", and engaged in economic colonization in those countries. And we often destabilized them and propped up dictators. We still support 3/4's of the worlds dictatorships.

I am not arguing that our World Police bullshit was proper. I am saying that all this shit is because people in South America believed in the Marxist lie. They let commie douchbags take power.

Fact is, the countries are shitholes. We need a wall because aren't and they want the goodies just like anyone.

Nothing to do with why we were there at all then is there. Bullshit. We had to go in because other countries didn't think right?

.

Communists meddling in Latin America had NOTHING to do with the Spanish America War, but I wouldn't expect a Russian troll to know anything about the Spanish American War.

The Communists didn't get a foothold in Latin or Central America until the 1960's, 50 years after the beginning of US meddling in the region. The rise of Castro and the Communists in Cuba can be laid directly at the feet of US support for the authoritarian dictator, Batista.

During the 1960's and 1970's, the CIA participated in regime change, and propped up authoritarian dictators throughout Central and South America. The American mottot of "Better dead than read" held sway. An entire generation of teachers, lawers, university professors, union leaders and labour organizers "disappeared" in South American countries throughout the 70's and 80's. There was no left wing opposition because anyone publically espousing leftist views just disappeared.

Chickens are coming home to roost.

No guns here, but the minute I hear about poor kids, you lost my support. There are many black kids in Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland who won't get what these illegal kids are getting. Does that seem fair? Our citizens are getting second class treatment because SOME people here like the illegal kids better. I say take this donation money for border jumping kids and give it to local block charities in the Rust Belt.
