crony communism?

“Six million young Central Americans are to enter the labor force in the next decade. If opportunity isn’t there for them, the entire Western Hemisphere will feel the consequences.”

This same logic was used by GWB when he met with President Fox and agreed to leave the border open; it would be too destablilizing to Mexico if they had so many unemployed young men...

[SkyDancer]

Just crony ....

[thesharkboy]

Funny how their “plans” always involve taking my money under threat of violence and handing it to someone else, all while taking a little off the top for themselves.

[ColdOne]

. Inadequate education, institutional corruption, rampant crime and a lack of investment are holding these countries back Just like you all are doing to this country.

[Regulator]

Got it.

The chronic problems of Spanish Corruptocracies are really our problems.

Meanwhile Planned Murderhood shrieks for more Abortions of the Americans.

Perhaps the issue in the land of Beeg Men is they have more children then they cansupport? And it’s their problem, not ours?

Joe Biden: A Plan for Central America , “Annex It”

[IronJack]

Inadequate education, institutional corruption, rampant crime and a lack of investment are holding these countries back.

Maybe inadequate education, institutional corruption, and rampant crime CAUSE the "lack of investment." I mean, who wants to sink money into a third-world dump that can seize your assets anytime the government changes hands, which is usually weekly?

[paint_your_wagon]

“The economies of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras remain bogged down as the rest of the Americas surge forward.”

Maybe they should look to Venezuela and Cuba for inspiration. /S

[Organic Panic]

They just “showed up?”

BULLCRAP. Just “showed up” is when a cat starts sitting at the back porch and meows for food.

These “children” were actively imported be the federal government, the corrupt governments south of the border, and democrats who need an ever growing army of uneducated poor voters.

[grania]

On the plus side of the invasion, El Salvadoran food is very tasty and nutritional.

I could see helping Central American countries help themselves by providing unemployed teachers a job to help in Central American schools instead of an unemployment check when they're unemployed. Too many teachers play layoffs for that unemployment check.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The Obama Biden plan for Central America - move them all here so they can vote for Democrats.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

We will solve the problem by giving them our jobs?

[BenLurkin]

the security and prosperity of Central America are inextricably linked with our own.

Nonsense.

We need to defend ourselves from their invasion -- even if the cowards are using children to "clear the minefields".

[Zathras]

I think Joe just told us where the head of SEIU International is running his new operation.

[Vendome]

How is Mexico not included in the description of “El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras”???

Those countries will add 6 million new possible entrants to the workforce?

Mexico will add at least 18 million during that same period and suffers from the same rampant 3rd world problems as Central America.

Fix Mexico and they can become a buffer for Central America and hopefully they will follow suit culturally, politically, reduce crime and lift all boats.

I doubt it though...

BIDEN NEEDS TO REGISTER AS AN AGENT OF C/A FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. Illegal Third Worlders (advocating the overthrow of the US govt) are organized into "pressure groups"...they cue border borders on the US political landscape.

These Third World federales are salivating for zillions in "humanitarian foreign aid" and anything else they can ge their greedy hands on.

REALITY CHECK---WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder millions (DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?Portillo was elected to (ahem) "redistribute" the nation's wealth).

Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

REMINDER: $266 million of our tax dollars in the current spending bill is going to Central America federales to help them (GAG) assist "child victims of violence."

Current Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns
the US will be inundated w/ even more contagious illegals
if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

REFERENCE .....a Guatemalan newspaper is reporting large numbers of illegals heading el Norte as we type. Guatemala tops the list of Central American minors captured at the US border......

Send them the ‘Dreamers’. A generation of young adult citizens educated in the US (yeah, on our dime) should be great for lifting their economies.
