Over the past 2 years, the U.S. Congress has provided a total of $1.4
billion to support the plan, of which a significant portion is for
Honduras. I supported those funds because I recognize the immense
challenges that widespread poverty, corruption, drug trafficking, gang
violence, and impunity pose for those countries. These problems will
not be solved by building a wall along our southern border or deporting
tens of thousands of Central Americans currently living in the United
States. I mention this because the assassination of Berta Caceres brings U.S.
support for the plan sharply into focus. Today that support is in
jeopardy.
