When we get involved in foreign countries, we need to do what is right. It is a complex matter.
It includes how we act in Venezuela, Syria, Iraq and so on.
We have apologized twice to Guatemala in recent decades.
These matters are not simple but as you can see, the USA apologized to Guatemala for any role we may have played in the Central American wars in the late '70s, 1980s and possibly extending into the 1990s a bit.
We also apologized to Guatemala for tests on Guatemalans for sexual transmittable diseases we apparently, contaminated subjects with in the 1940s. Obama apologized for this.

Now, it may not have gotten the press attention it should have but President Trump and the USA have invested some billions of dollars in Mexico and Central America to try to better their situation.
Also, a few months ago, an article was posted on this forum how changes in farming methods have harmed the indigenous people there.
Simply put, we need to do the right thing… also, some of the apologies above, I take with a grain of salt at least for the Central American wars. We were fighting communism, those are called “dirty wars”. It’s a complex matter.
My opinion, is if governments are so corrupt and I think we are seeing this in Venezuela, the whole thing takes a lot of research I would say. I studied Latin American affairs in the Southwest… travelled quite a bit too. I think I have a handle on some things but clearly, not on all. Propaganda, information is out there, it is for one to try to decide what is correct.
Time to do right, time do not do things we might regret decades from now. New administration and I think the president realizes this.
Hey, all kinds of criminal enterprises operate on these migrants’ way to the border. We can not encourage those people either, who smuggle and so on. A secured border is needed.
