So much fuss is being made over the children coming up from Guatemala and Honduras. People are missing the reason the kids are fleeing their homes. Some families come for economic reasons and climate change but the vast majority is for safety. Those countries are controlled by gangs. Gangs rape, ill, extortion, kidnap, and force the kids they don’t kill to join them. Usually it is join or the family is killed.
The media doesn’t go back to when and how the gangs got started and took control of those nations. We are the reason! We decided Los Angeles would be better if we exported the members of a growing band of violent Central Americans who preyed on their own people. We sent them south and now thousands of families and unattached kids are coming here to get away from the gangs we exported. That’s Karma!
We have created this mess and the economic money we are throwing at it ends up going into the gang’s pockets. We criticize the governments for getting tough on the gangs but these governments are in a fight for survival in their countries. We criticize other countries for using violence to put down simple protests but it is necessary when those gangs are armed with guns that our business people sold to them,. It is Karma! Locking them up in gang controlled prisons doesn’t stop them. Let their government’s police and paramilitary do what is necessary. Ignore what they need to do for survival.
We caused the problem. Let those countries fix it so their people will want to stay in their countries and not flee to the United States.
