They are the innocent victims of both sides. and they have suffered unspeakable brutality. No family has escaped unscathed. Hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans have fled. mostly to the United States as refugees. where they live in squalor. In 10 years. we have sent over 4 billion in United States tax dollars to successive governments in El Salvador. ostensibly to fight communism. with little regard for how that money was being used. Despite abundant evidence of rampant corruption at the highest levels of the Salvadoran Government. massive waste and inefficiency. and outrageous human rights violations by the military. we kept the money flowing.
