Unlike earlier waves of immigrants, today’s masses are here because this country, their final destination, is responsible for their miseries back home. If not for all of the coups, dethronings, assassinations, covert missions, all-out assaults, drug wars, disinformation campaigns, faux-unity NGOs, pipelines, bilateral treaties, trilateral contracts, regional trade groups, Coke commercials, moonwalks, Peace Corps, missionaries, scholarships, brain drains, kidnappings, bribery, fraud, Academy Awards, and Avengers movies, they wouldn’t have come here.
