a must read article .. please take the time .. this is not a migration story, it is one of failed US foreign policy .. it is children fleeing from a USA created cold war killing field As was stated recently in the National Journal, this is not a migration story but rather a foreign policy failure.

As historian Greg Grandin described it, the US turned Central America into one of the last killing fields of the Cold War.
