Agreed. But many of these people come from countries the CIA, or our war on drugs, has had a direct had in de-stabilizing.
It was Marxism that fucked up South and Central America (and Africa, the Middle East and much of the 3rd World) - not America trying to stop it.
The cost of illegal aliens to every California taxpaying household is well-established and is far from trivial.

Most of those countries, including Venezuela are dictatorships. The de-stabilization that put those dictators in power was often triggered by US agents.
Sorry man, still think Marxism was the biggest destabilizer in South/Central America.
But I'd argue that a large part of the countries, had they been left alone, would not have gravitated towards socialist/dictator regimes. Because of US involvement in destabilizing the region, and resentment toward our country, people were more susceptible to the communist message, and the socialist countries who offered aid, rather than interference.
You have it backwards: US involvement was in response and to counter USSR's push into Latin America.
I've never heard of this(Russia attempting to move in)
Again, I'm asking for examination of root cause. If socialism was organically adapted in these countries, fine. But I'd argue that a large part of the countries, had they been left alone, would not have gravitated towards socialist/dictator regimes.
Dismissing something that USSR actually proclaimed as their goal and made a huge progress towards is just denying reality.
The one country where one could argue the US really "meddled" with is Chile
You haven't provided any evidence other than your word. I've provided evidence to support my viewpoint. Unless your God, gonna need more than "Because I say so."
do you really think America was morally or strategically wrong to try and combat Communism's spread in South/Central America?
Your own link admits that the CIA was RESPONDING to various Marxist and Communist guerrilla groups and organizations. What more evidence do you need?
Just like we did in SE Asia, and look how well those economies are doing!
Yes, SK does well only because NK was beaten back. Without US intervention it would be same shit but across the whole Korean Peninsula.
Hassan_Rouhani saysYes, SK does well only because NK was beaten back. Without US intervention it would be same shit but across the whole Korean Peninsula.
And if the US bailed on South Korea in less than 7 years like we bailed in Iraq - the entire Korean peninsula would be a famine shit-show like North Korea. Because all Totalitarian Communist regimes end in misery.
Ditto if we abandoned Taiwan, Philippines, Japan.......
You can't destabilize a country and call it a move forward.
The attempts to re-write history from the left is amusing. I mean, they could at least wait util people who were alive during these events are all gone and the rest doesn't read anything but Twitter feeds of some "thinkers" a.k.a. comedians.... :rollseye:
rump is not deporting millions of illegals, but he's deliberately provoking leftist do-gooders and rubbing their faces in it knowing his base is way beyond caring.
How about being more efficient and actually care about basic humanity?
Those are just pointless slogans, "basic humanity" means absolutely nothing.
Goran_K saysThose are just pointless slogans, "basic humanity" means absolutely nothing.
Like separating children for their mothers. Does it really help anyone? Seriously?
How many more illegals were deported because of this?
Outrage bait: Trump specialty.
