As the crisis at our nation's southern border with Mexico worsens due to the unremitting flow of migrants from Central America, President Trump decided late last week to cut aid to the three Central American countries that were contributing most to the problem - El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Senator Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who is the ranking Democrat on the Republican-chaired Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said that President Trump's decision was "Irresponsible" and "Reckless." Senator Menendez claimed this action "Shows the Administration still does not understand that the United States cuts foreign aid to Central America at our own peril." He added that "President Trump reportedly wants to make matters worse by blocking resources for programs that get to the root causes of this humanitarian crisis."
"As we visit El Salvador evaluating the importance of U.S. assistance to Central America to address the root causes of family and child migration," they stated in their letter, "We are extremely disappointed to learn that President Trump intends to cut off aid to the region. The President's approach is entirely counterproductive. It will only result in more children and families being forced to make the dangerous journey north to the U.S.-Mexico border. We will work with our colleagues in Congress to do everything in our power to push back on the President's misguided approach to Central America."
The open border liberals' answer to the Central American migration surge is to throw more good money after bad at the hopelessly corrupt and dysfunctional governments running the three countries and hope vainly for the best.
Vicki Gass, senior policy adviser for Central America and Mexico at the Oxfam charity, is representative of the misguided view that continuing foreign aid at present levels to these countries is imperative.
Former President Obama called the influx of unaccompanied immigrant children entering the United States during his second term a "Humanitarian crisis." He believed that more foreign aid to address the Central American countries' economic and social problems would ameliorate the problem and he embarked on a program to do just that.
The three Central American countries are doing nothing to stop the caravans.
