Lex Anteinternet: The Central American Mess and Citations to the Statue of Liberty. Nobody is going to do anything, probably.

So here, two and a half years later, this thread is once again so relevant I thought about reposting it:

Rather than that, I'm just linking into it.

One comment, however. The common current claims that "immigration reform" will somehow address this are at a bare minimum, incomplete.  What would address this is the creation of a stable Central American political culture and viable economy.   Both can be done.  It'd be easier to do, however, if these states weren't all so tiny, which brings up the point once again that a Central American tragedy is the failure of these regions to unite, which they're repeatedly attempted, or the failure of Mexico to have retained them.

What is clear is that the longer this goes on, the more tragic it becomes, and the more its depressive impact on the United States will become inevitable.  The Obama Administration failed to successfully deal with it, the Trump Administration was more successful but obviously didn't solve it, and the onset of the Biden Administration has revived it.  It's Biden's problem now.  Solve it, or at least getting it somewhat addressed, would be a political coup for him. Failure to do so will be a Republican issue in 2022 and 2024.
