The U.S. and Mexican governments have announced that the U.S. is giving 10 billion dollars (for starters) to Mexico and Central America. It seems to be the beginning of Mexican President AMLO’s vision of an international aid program mostly funded by the United States.
The goal of the 10 billion dollars is to aid development in southern Mexico and Central America, as a way of reducing emigration.
It’s a worthy goal. However, it does not eliminate the need to get control of the U.S. border with Mexico right now.
It is very telling that the U.S. can give 10 billion to Mexico and Central America but can’t seem to appropriate the funds to build the wall Trump promised in the 2016 campaign.
