“Fifteen years ago, people in my native Colombia asked the same painful question. A seemingly endless cycle of violence fueled by insurgent groups and drug cartels, combined with widespread poverty, had made it difficult to believe that Colombia could ever escape its downward spiral.
But we did. Thanks in large part to Plan Colombia — a decade-long, $8-billion U.S. aid program to help rebuild institutions, eradicate drug production and expand social protection — Colombia has undergone an extraordinary turnaround. Although it still struggles with high levels of crime, violence has dropped to a fraction of what it was in the 1990s. Investment is pouring in, economic growth is strong and, most important, young people no longer see migration as the only route to a better life.”

There must have been a wise leader who wasn't corrupted, yes? THAT is the key to success. If only the other countries used American aid as wisely.[/quote]

colombia exported more cocaine last year than at any point in history.

plan colombia was a total failure on eradicating drug production.

the la times article is peddling false-hoods[/quote]
Thank you.

Columbia is producing 1,500 TONS of COCAINE a year.
Nice. Guess where most of it goes...

Do any Liberals here care?[/quote]

Through ports of entry that have nothing to do with the Southern border, apparently. [/quote]
You don't know that. Please stop lying here.[/quote]

actually, it has been reported widely, that most drugs come in from the ports of entry. see e.g. citing official data https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/16/fact-check-mike-pence-donald-trump-drugs-crossing-southern-border-wall/2591279002/

You don't know what you don't know. All they know is all the drugs they DO catch.[/quote]
