yes, thats a problem but its not related to this issue

so huge amounts of impoverished people has nothing to do with a few people holding most of the wealth

no, migration

concentrated wealth means concentrated poverty

what were talking about is migration

alright then

let's go ahead and take a look at why they're migrating, anyway

we can make their countries better, that will fix the problem

let's start with honduras

letting them migrate will save one generation of hondurans and the next generation will be back to square one, its pointless

http://cepr.net/press-center/press-releases/investigation-reveals-new-details-of-us-role-in-2009-honduras-military-coup

so it would appear that the USA shot themselves in the foot here

let's step back a bit further and expand our focus a bit wider

its true for any impoverished country though

*ruins country*
"wait why do you want to leave"

http://www.coldwar.org/articles/50s/guatemala.asp

the USA also did it in guatemala

when they casually backed a coup and genocide

and then in the 80s they supported death squads in el salvador

yes you speak truth, but what i said is still valid. we'll save one generation of x hondurans, guadamalans, *whatever* crappy country, and then the population of the people still there will be the same, because impoverished people have huge amounts of kids, and they will be in the same situation

so theres no point

and let's not forget oliver north

https://theintercept.com/2018/05/12/oliver-north-nra-iran-contra/

my point is

the USA completely fucked up central america so we owe it to them to at the very least give the people fleeing from our own destruction a safe haven

well maybe... you can feel good about that but central america is still going to be a bunch of crappy countries with impoverished people 20 years later...

nothing has changed by allowing this migration

it's a step

we just need to fix central america, i think

I agree there but that takes time
and while we're fixing central america the central americans need a place to stay

ive been moderately convinced that its not horrible for our economy. i still think a wall is going to be required as security on other entry methods impoves.

but as a caveat for smaller economies i think it would be bad like hungary. Like, swedens crime rate hugely increased, And they stopped tracking the nationality of criminals because of what it would show

they are not big enough to assimilate them

can you provide a source for that?

so I go to the site they give and

what the fuck
