"I'm absolutely SEETHING at this article.
Apparently, the president of Guatemala, Otto Perez, isn't satisfied with his country's living standards, and so he, along with the leaders of Honduras and El Salvador, have decided that the US should give them $10 billion.
I'm not even making that up.
They justify this absurd suggestion by saying that people are going to keep fleeing their countries to illegally come to the US if we don't fix their problems.
Perez told Reuters that if the US sends $10 billion into Central America to create jobs and "lift living standards" then they'll be able to "boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the US."
See? It's our fault their countries are total sh*tholes, so we better pony up so we don't have to deal with their people coming here illegally.
But don't worry, y'all. He does recognize that Central America also has some accountability. He said, "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."
Aaaaall better.
Except apparently "their part" is to simply accept our money.
And the reason this is all our fault, is because the US's demand for illegal narcotics is what's fueling the gang related violence in that region.
Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, issued what could be easily interpreted as a threat to the US. He said, "The United States has to support this, it has no other option. If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."
