#1 Kamalamadingdong yesterday called for U. S. companies to invest 3 billion dollars in central American countries in order to reduce unlawful immigration.

#2 Yes. With those countries' penchant for marxist politicians and nationalization of foreign assets, that should go over in a big way.

However, don't count on the stupidity + greed + pandering of US corporations.

#4 You can ALWAYS count on the stupidy + greed + pandering of American corporations. That's why every commercial must have at least one black actor, yet Uncle Ben has been sent to the TV commercial gulag.

#5 Another reason to hate the UniParty:

"The same continent-wide superstate was pushed in 2001 by President G.W. Bush and Mexico’s then-president, Vicente Fox. Their unpopular “Any Willing Worker” plan would have allowed U.S. employers to easily import low-wage employees from central and south America. It was derailed following the 9/11 attack.

"The policy would spike Wall Street and Fortune 500 profits by giving them floods of cheap foreign workers plus many new foreign consumers."

#6 As long as the culture is tolerant of corruption (that's just the way it is) in those countries, no amount of aid or redistribution will solve the problem. Just look around here as we become just like them with an self-centered self-indulgent ruling class that cares less about the vast majority of the people (upon whom their position rests) than their next whim of alternate religion experience.

#7 Not just toleration of corruption, but no protection for property rights. Why improve your land if the local strong man can just have a "court" hand it to him?

#9 What, senile Joe Biden wanted more drug cartel bribes?

#10 Latin American workers and factories would be better than relying on China for anything.

We don't need a super-state, we don't need a free trade zone. we need Latin American countries to create areas that encourage foreign manufacturers to invest.

#12 As long as I can remember I keep hearing the term "developing countries" and this whole time our government has been extremely generous with "foreign aid" for them and yet they are still poverty stricken, backward hell holes. How many centuries will it take them to "develop"?

#13 ^ 'Bout the same time frame as Detroit.

#14 The US will become a Developing Country long before any of them become Developed.
