(26,420 posts)27. Good grief. I did not say that
I am worried about drugs. FFS, I was posting about the reasons why we have so many Central Americans fleeing to the southern border of the US to escape threats from gangs in their own countries.
I also was NOT denying that the US has overturned governments and supported tyrants for the sake of US business interests. I was NOT limiting US relations with Latin America to Ike's administration.
You made lot of assumptions.
I have been involved for 3 years in getting aid to migrants at the border, talking to people who have been there delivering the aid, and discussing the causes of the migrants fleeing their home countries. I described in my post the current reasons why they are fleeing in caravans to the US. I was not giving a comprehensive history course on US relations with Latin American countries.

OP
It is hypocritically selective and stinks of exclusivity based on interferences we were party to.
