I have daily thoughts about people moving away from Home, how wrenching it is. Making their countries safer and easier to live in would solve some but not all of the people coming to out border. It isn't just Central and South American countries, either. Recently, one of the hosts on MSNBC mentioned the diverse makeup of a group who were at the border. People from several Central and South American countries, a few Ukrainians, some Canadians and some Europeans. It was surprising.
We aren't the only country with people at the borders. Last week, a boat sank in the Mediterranean Sea, and many people drowned. Several countries in Europe want limits on who comes in, they have the Europeans, the Africans and the Asians to bar and none of it is easy.

If developed countries could find solutions that improved a countries' safety and socioeconomics, it would help immensely. If developed countries would do the least necessary, and avoid reshaping the political climate as we have done in many places, many times, we'd get better results.

Nice talking. I have to go to bed!
