My colleague David North, keying on several recent posts by Todd Bensman, another colleague here at the Center (see here, here, and here), has posted a blog suggesting some ideas that might be used to better assist Mexico and Central American nations in turning back the flood of north-bound migrants headed for our southern border.
Within his blog, in the subheading, "Proposal for Central America", North says this:
Let's take a leaf from the European precedent regarding migrants from Syria, and strike formal deals with the Central American nations, as Europe has with Turkey. In this case, we would simply work out financial arrangements with the nations of Panama, Costa Rica, and perhaps others to cause those SIAs and other non-Central Americans who seek to use their countries on their way to the United States illegally to be identified and shipped home at U.S. expense.
