If elected officials want less refugees from Central America they should stop supporting the foreign policy that creates refugees.

People don’t walk thousands of miles by themselves to seek asylum because they want to- it’s because they have to.
I'm tired of the common media narrative that the US has not played any role in creating this crisis.

Historically the US has done a lot to prevent economic development and economic diversification in Centeral America to keep labor costs as keep as possible for US companies.
Also end the war on drugs that has played a significant role in empowering these cartels.

Legalize, tax and regulate drugs. Use the funds to help reduce demand, public health and economic development.
