Thanks TPJ, my daughter dropped a line in a conversation a few years ago that stuck with me, "We (US) are primarily responsible for the the violence and upheaval in Central America causing mass political asylum seekers." Will add this reference to my to read list!

Although it was written in 1983, Joan Didion's "Salvadore" is a book-length essay on her visit to that country which she has described as "terrifying". It is a good example of the confusion and violence families confront. And your daughter is right. The US has done untold damage to these countries in supporting corporate resource extractors. The weapon sales and US training of "soldiers" who enforce the US supported authoritarian governments is evil.
