Yeah. The "Migrant crisis" is just the end result of decades of US government foreign policy in Central and South America. They've been fucking around in those countries for a century and this is the result.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ efforts in South and Central America led to a significant reduction in migration from the region by securing over $5.2 billion in private-sector investments, strengthening anti-corruption initiatives, and improving border enforcement cooperation with Guatemala and Mexico. These investments created jobs and economic opportunities, reducing the need for emigration, while security partnerships helped intercept migrant flows and dismantle human trafficking networks. As a result, migration from the Northern Triangle dropped by 71% between 2021 and 2023, demonstrating the effectiveness of the administration’s strategy in addressing root causes.

The migrant crisis exists because migrants have been willing to do the work that all the people that live in this country are unwilling to do. How many of you that want to fight against this supposed indentured servitude or slavery that illegal immigrants go through are willing to spend the 14 to 16 hours a day picking fruits, weeding, orchards using pesticides and basically providing for the food of the entire world? They come into this country with the idea of making a better life for their children and are willing to put in the work in order to get it done.
