I could use a review of that history.
There are entire books written on the topic, I’m just more well versed on the things that happened in my country.
what do you think about the idea that immigrants leaving their war-torn, destitute countries to live in wealthy ones are abandoning their responsibility to improve their home countries? Is that too idealistic?
It’s a bit misinformed imo. I can’t speak for Mexico or South Americans but the Central American economy is literally supported by diaspora in the U.S or Canada sending money back home. I don’t think it would be considered abandoning your country if you’re forced to flee under threat of murder or starvation.
