[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn’t a crisis at the border.

There is a crisis in Central American countries of intense and undiscrimating drug cartel-fueled violence and deep poverty.

What we are seeing at our southern border are people fleeing crises. When [b]we[/b] address the crises in Central America then and only then will we stop the wave of immigrants.[/quote]

When "we" address the crisis in Central America...? No thanks to nation building. We have meddled enough in the affairs of others. Let them figure it out[/quote]

Yes “we”. We live in the same hemisphere as these humans and “we” Americans have also contributed in part to many of the issues, not the least of which is our drug consumption. So yes, “we”. You don’t like that you’re part of a globe that increasingly interdependent? Too bad. Maybe you should go isolate yourself from the rest of humanity. Isolationism hasn’t served any country well. Ever.[/quote]

So drug addicts are now being blamed? Nice victim blaming there.

And the governments of these countries have no obligation whatsoever to improve their nation? Don't buy it. Sorry this isn't our problem. We just cause bigger messes when we go abroad.[/quote]

Good grief, so many uniformed people frothing at the mouth on this thread. Drug cartels have wreaked chaos and deadly desert ruction in Central America- they make their money from selling drugs. One of the biggest consumers of drugs in the hemisphere is the US. That’s not victim blaming, that’s fact. [/quote]
