Blinken’s trip seems to have slowed the flow of refugees through Mexico (fro 11,000 to 6,400 per day), but this immigration crisis is blowback from decades of short-sighted policies, not the least of which is the ironic outcome of The Monroe Doctrine. https://apple.news/AafndIoOsTqG8d2g0tc5tsQ

Besides drug cartel violence, repression against environmentalists made countries such as Honduras lawless. Vice Pres. Harris’ emphasis on “root causes” of flight from failing governments appears to have made headway in the Berta Cáceres murder. https://apple.news/Abb-h4YXKRGCZnNtyrkAUIQ
