A third problem in the region is the lack of economic opportunity. It
is simply in America's interest to have more prosperous neighbors,
people to sell to and trade with. Ultimately, if people can't earn
enough money to feed their families and live in a safe neighborhood,
they will either pick up and leave by any means necessary, including
illegal immigration, or they will join drug gangs. I know that too often there is a tendency to overlook what is
happening in our own region. Some might say: I have enough problems
here at home to worry about what is going on in other countries.
