The fact that Honduras is the biggest source of the exodus jumped out at me. Thats because, in 2009, the United States government — under President Obama — tacitly supported a military coup that overthrew the democratically elected president of Honduras. Honduras wasnt paradise under President Manuel Zelaya. Since the coup, however, the country has entered a downward death spiral of drug-related bloodshed and political revenge killings that crashed the economy, brought an end to law, order and civil society, and now has some analysts calling it a failed state along the lines of Somalia and Afghanistan during the 1990s.
