And there's nothing anyone wants to do to help their home countries deal with the problems, so as to make them more safe and stable so that there would be less people fleeing.  The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so.  It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up.  Instead we should be looking to help those countries.  But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.[/quote]

Uhh did you 2 forget about mexico who wanted to give them residency? They also had the option to travel to closer countries which are just as safe. We have central americas gangs in the US too but then again we also have the almighthy dollar that attracts them. So its greed bringing them here plain and simple.[/quote]

Nope, that "Mexico offered to take them in" narrative was utter and complete bullshit.  Numerous reporters and others tried following up on that and even went with refugees as they tried getting visas and legal asylum in Mexico and saw that they were getting absolutely nowhere with Mexican officials.  There were many reports on this, video accounts of their attempts to get papers, et cetera.  [b]Mexico was refusing them. [/b] [/quote]
Even if so, why should we except hundreds of thousands of economic dead weight migrants who don't even speak that language that they need to get employed in the US?[/quote]

Your great grandparents quite likely came to America as economic migrants unable to speak the language.[/quote]
You missed. I am the first generation of my family living abroad. I came here legally loaded with high potential - high education,  clean criminal record, no socially dangerous diseases.
An this is how it suppose to be.
And if my grandparents would be blessed to immigrate to this country they would not have a dime of freebies that ''refugees'' get plenty of these days. They would have survives on their own the best they could - just like millions of others who immigrated back in a day. You missed again.[/quote]

Wow, you are so full of bogus talking points.  Illegal immigrants are ineligible for federal "freebies" and as far as diseases we have a far bigger problem with nutty US citizen antivaxxers than we do with migrants. [/quote]

DP.  Are migrants vaccinated?  Doubtful.
[/quote]

South American countries enforce vaccination. I actually reviewed the statistics-it's high 90%.[/quote]
Evidence?[/quote]

I reviewed the stats months ago. The CDC has them.  Vaccinations are taken seriously in Central America. However, similar to the US, if your're poor and uneducated, you often slip through the cracks. So I imagine there are more folks crossing who have not had regular medical visits.

"older" data

[quote]Primary Care

Compared to the United States and other high-income nations, physician density in El Salvador,
Guatemala, and Honduras is quite low. According to recent data, there are approximately 1.6 physicians
per 1,000 population in El Salvador. Physician population density is markedly lower in both Guatemala
and Honduras, with 0.93 and 0.37 physicians per 1,000 population, respectively [14]. The World Health
Organization estimates that countries with fewer than 23 healthcare workers (including physicians,
nurses, and midwives) per 10,000 population will likely fail to achieve adequate coverage rates for
primary healthcare, as defined by the Millennium Development goals [15]. Therefore, the number of
doctors in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras is likely insufficient to achieve adequate coverage for
primary healthcare needs.

Access to basic healthcare in Central America largely depends on socioeconomic status and environment
(urban or rural). El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have worked to improve access and quality of
care, particularly in rural settings. [b]Despite improvements to health services and systems, rural populations
still have difficulty accessing basic health services. [/b]In Guatemala, it is estimated that basic health and
nutrition services meet only 54% of the needs of the rural population [16]. Similarly, in Honduras, 88.3%
of the total population receives care from the Ministry of Health. However, the majority of health services
are located in the most developed cities, not easily accessible for rural and indigenous populations [17].
Minors from rural and often underserved regions may also seek care from traditional healers, such as
curanderos or folk healers [18]. Curanderismo exists throughout Latin America, and practitioners treat a
wide range of ailments including illnesses recognized by modern medicine as well as “folk illness”
specific to the local population [18]. [/quote][/quote]
