South Americans need to fix their own countries. I know there is a drug cartel problem and the people running those countries are corrupt. But the citizens need to stay and fight. We should give the citizens aid in the form of firearms. Every law abiding citizen should be given at least one hand gun and lots of ammo. The criminals have guns and that includes the politicians and government officials. They would think twice about stealing someone's land and propety if they knew they were going to be met with a bullet in the back of the head. South Americans need to be able to defend themselves. When the caravan arrives they should be met with a hot meal, a shower and an informative movie about Soros. After a good nights sleep distribute hand guns to all of those people who have been properly screened and have been determined to be law abiding people. Of course there should also be a gun safety class. After they are properly armed then send them from where they came from and sit back and enjoy the show. I know that will never happen, but there has to be a solution to this. They need help, but not in the form of aid that their government is probably stealing and keeping for themselves. The corruption needs to bet met with a firing squad.

Everytime we aid with firearms is always comes back to bite us in the ass by some faction group that uses them back against our interests.
Lets just stay hands off and let them fix their own stuff...but its easier to run away. Guess i cant blame em. But dont they always then start voting for policies here that got their very country to a shithole in the first place ? Although if its a dictatorship they wouldnt have votes
