How the U.S. Contributed to Central American Migration

Justin Anderson on Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting considers the role of the United States in creating the condition I n Central America that has fueled migration flows from that region for generations:

“Over the past three generations, the Northern Triangle countries, long marked by profound levels of inequality, have each experienced horribly destructive civil wars and military coups. Unsurprisingly, the United States has been intimately involved in each of these, supporting anti-Communist regimes during the Cold War and protecting US business interests with truly disastrous results.”
