To recall: Stopping U.S. Assistance to Central America is Counterproductive and Misinformed

To recall: June 17, 2019, the State Department said no additional foreign aid will be provided for Honduras, Guatemala & El Salvador until they take "concrete actions to reduce the number of illegal migrants coming to the U.S. border." Trump administration chooses a strategy that makes things worse. Instead of working with leaders in Central America to stabilize the situation there, the administration is eliminating aid intended to create better conditions that would help keep families home. The Washington Office on Latin America, a human rights group, stated “all aid to Central America is not the way to build a safer, more prosperous region where people aren't forced to flee.” Lawmakers who were against the plan said it was cruel to cut off aid to countries dealing with hunger and crime. The move would be counterproductive, because it is more likely increase the number of migrants than decrease it. https://www.wola.org/analysis/stopping-us-assistance-central-america-counterproductive-misinformed/
