The United States is cutting off aid to the Northern Triangle, otherwise known as the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, the State Department told CNN Saturday, one day after President Donald Trump said they had "set up" migrant caravans for entry into the United States.

"We were paying them tremendous amounts of money. And we're not paying them anymore. Because they haven't done a thing for us. They set up these caravans," Trump said Friday.

"At the Secretary's instruction, we are carrying out the President's direction and ending FY 2017 and FY 2018 foreign assistance programs for the Northern Triangle," a State Department spokesperson said. "We will be engaging Congress as part of this process."

On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen signed what she called a "first of its kind" regional compact agreement with the Northern Triangle countries aimed at preventing irregular migration, combating criminal organizations and ultimately helping with US border security.

Trump threatened to cut off or substantially reduce aid to the Northern Triangle before saying in an October tweet the countries, "were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the US."

But experts have said cutting off aid is likely to increase the number of migrants leaving the countries and heading for the United States.

Maybe the countries can find another benefactor....perhaps RUSSIA? couldnt be any worse than the CIA sponsored help in the 70s/80s that helped create/fund the Central American civil wars which in turn created the mass immigration in the first place..

China is the logical benefactor.

During World War I (1914-1918) Mexico remained neutral. During this time, Mexico was preoccupied with its revolution (1910-1920) which took place the same time as World War I. In January 1917, British agents intercepted a telegram sent to German Ambassador to Mexico Heinrich von Eckardt by Arthur Zimmermann, State Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the German Empire. In the telegram, Germany proposed to Mexico that if the United States were to join the war, Mexico should join and side with the Central Powers. In appreciation, and if the Central Powers were to win, Mexico would recuperate the territory of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona that Mexico lost in its war with the United States during the Mexican–American War in 1848. The telegram, known as the Zimmermann Telegram was intercepted when the telegram was being wired to the German embassy in Washington, DC to be re-routed to Mexico City. Mexico eventually rejected the telegram and continued to remain neutral during the war.[4]

You know the best way to get people to leave at even increased rates from their countries? By making the countries shittier by defunding aid!

 

Seriously, how are racists so dumb? They think that sending aid is a bad idea...but also that immigration is a bad idea. Well, if you want to stop immigration then the best way to do it is to increase the quality of living in other countries because then people have less kids and also less people leave!

 

Hmm...maybe that is why white nationalists and conservatives work together in the west, because they think that if they can turn the west into a shitty dystopian hellscape of poverty then white people will be more likely to have 12+ kids and increase the white race! I mean sure Asian countries will rule the planet, but there will be 3% more caucasians as a ratio of world population!
