Help address the core reasons why so many people are fleeing their home countries.
That works to a little extent but that's a naive world outlook. There's 7 billion people in this world. A country of 350 million is not going to fix the issues of humanity. A country of 350 million can't even fix it's own issues and can do some things for some of those Central American countries, but at the end of the day the issues there are much harder to fix than just throwing money at them.
There's violence there because there's lack of economic opportunity. There's lack of economic opportunity because they lack human capital, they lack the know how to compete in a global economy, because there's corruption, because there's failed economic policies, and on and on. The American taxpayer is not responsible for those countries considering so many people in the US have nothing saved, lived paycheck to paycheck, can't afford healthcare, etc.
So while i feel their pain and probably know better than one here how it is to live in a poverty stricken country, it's not our responsibility. If some of those people want to come here, let them do so legally, the proper way, like some of us that had to wait in line, like some of us that had to pay for things like processing costs.
