Without U.S. Border Security, Central America Aid Package Will Fail
avatar By Bob Dane April 29, 2021 No Comments
The Biden administration says “poverty, high levels of violence, and corruption in Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries” are driving migrants to the U.S. Though that is partially true, a White House plan to send $4 billion to our southern neighbors is a misdirected expenditure destined to fail.
For starters, Uncle Sam’s magnanimity works out to about $29 per person. Even with the generous assumption that it will trickle down through layers of ingrained graft and corruption, the payout won’t accomplish much.
It’s naive to think that more “aid” will alter the migration dynamic when every American president since the 1960s has tried similar initiatives. Biden’s prospects are doubtful as El Salvador’s president refused to meet his special envoy, and Honduras’ president is under U.S. criminal investigation involving a drug-smuggling ring.
