Did you know that Hilton Head, South Carolina is at the same latitude as Tijuana, Mexico? A little geography lesson.
In any event, Donald Trump and Joe Biden see the border mess differently.
I see a cause in people wanting to leave dangerous communities in Central America, a veritable war zone because of drug traffickers. The blood money is coming from American addicts. If we can solve that problem, then Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras become safe-enough places.
I'm not so sure about that. They also have tyrants as rulers, which the USA helped facilitate, and also severe weather and climate change problems. But I suppose the gang violence and drug wars are the main problem, along with endemic poverty and inequality which the regimes protect.
