Central America no help in slowing down Migrants

Everyone in L. America knows someone who went north and the reasons why. The US;s failure in finding allies for enforcement is a failure of understanding the region.

Panama is starting to have a crisis at the Darien border which is some of the roughest jungle anywhere to cross. Would be ore useful to close that pathway and make it harder for migrants to start there but dont see much effort. Instead, they decided that the migrants are beign taken advantage of so lets bus them quicker so they dont have to rely on sumgglers. I think stopping it all together would push the bad elements out as there would be no more customers....

Just like Castro/Cuba, there's a lot of sympathy for Chavez in L. America and the boycott repercussions. Your average L. American's more likely to say "fuck the US" than "fuck Venezuela".

Oh it's not that bad to cross as jungle goes. I have a friend who covered it and back to Colombia in six days when it was dry. They have GPS in phones now, to the shock of Trump who was commenting on them possessing these.

Darrien is some of the thickest most treacherous jungle in the path there for a poor migrant to cross with little water and no real tools...

When 300,000 a year (it is said) follow trails, you can see the trails. But again, there are guides and satnav apps with maps.

In heavy rain it would suck without good boots though it's not a journey for anybody frail at any time. The difficulty is the lawlessness and backsheesh. I do live in Colombia, own a place in Panama and I was a wildlife ranger. :)
