The children now in Texas and Ca. are the result of what Reagan and North did those many years ago. The drug cartels have made it so dangerous in these central American countries, the parents are willing to send their children here in droves, across deserts and its our countrys fault. In the words of my friend. ***** ..Jeffery Haas There is of course. These are refugees. The US news media wont cover it but if you manage to connect to South American and Central American publications youll see no shortage of coverage. The violence in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador is reaching unprecedented proportions. They didnt exactly have the best system of central governance to begin with but once the large multinationals decided it was time to start consuming the rich resources located there, what they had was quickly replaced with that stereotype we are all familiar with, the infamous banana republic dictator who was eager and willing to cooperate with any administration but who was most decidedly right wing in the extreme. (Who do we think made that possible?) And when resistance came, it was often in the form of an equally extreme reaction, naturally from the left. The response was to finance right wing death squads and rebel armies. The civil strife that resulted rapidly exploded into decades long civil war, and in the ashes of these wars the cartels took control. These are, without a doubt, the illegitimate grandchildren and great grandchildren of Ronald Reagan and Oliver North. And they are refugees fleeing a system which cares about one thing and one thing only, drug profits, primarily cocaine. The entire region is part and parcel of a silk road commerce system controlled by gangs who learned first at the knee of their Contra grandfathers and then later as members of L.A. street gangs. And when we deported gang members back to their homelands, which they barely knew, they brought the gang mentality back with them. The role of the Central Intelligence Agency in cocaine importation into the USA is well documented and indisputable. It is part of the Congressional Record now. And as such, it is our responsibility to treat these kids, most of them under age 13, as refugees. The problem isnt going to go away with a few protests and some bus turnarounds, and some US diplomat sitting down with corrupt Central American government officials wont accomplish much either. They know what side their bread is buttered on, and their lives depend on them carrying water for the real power in those countries, the cartels and their street gang enforcers and distributors. We helped to create this, so its our responsibility to help fix it. These are children of war.
