Today’s Action: Study the root causes of Central American migration
With the ongoing partisan war over our concentration camp program, aka Southern border policies, there’s one thing that both sides of the aisle should want: to understand what’s really causing migrant movement from the “Northern Triangle” (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) to the United States, and to provide assistance at the source.
A bipartisan bill has passed the House and moves to the Senate to give $577 million in financial assistance to Central American countries in 2020, with actions to promote economic growth and combat corruption. And hand-in-hand, these actions will be tracked against any adjustments in migration patterns to determine the effectiveness of the programs.
The $577 million in aid would be irrevocable, and locked in place to keep Trump from reallocating as he pleases. And it would require our Secretary of State and USAID administrators to prioritize research on our aid’s effectiveness in combating human trafficking and gender-based violence, and support Central American governments in strengthening free and fair elections and independent media.
Mind you, Republicans have a variety of motivations to pass this, but we’re all for providing assistance to Central America even as we continue to fight to make our country more inclusive for all. This bill is a decent first step at reducing the need for migration – but we must support these efforts hand-in-hand with our battle to end the human rights crisis at our border that Trump caused all on his own.
