I was using manufactured crisis in that it was a fake made up crisis, that we don’t have a border problem. But we do. And media outlets are finally admitting.It'll always be a manufactured crisis. The Trump administration cut off aid to all South American countries months ago, knowing full well the result would be tons more refugees. They knew full well that Mexico wouldn't be able to handle that kind of influx on their own, too. On top of which, Trump hasn't defined his parameters for Mexico's "success" in this matter. Which means all we're left with is an escalating tax on Americans that isn't likely to go away until Trump is voted out of office or impeached.
Just more acts of bad faith and constant attempts to gaslight the American public. If Trump wants to go to war with Venezuela, he just needs to get on with it already. I think he's saving that boner for Iran, though.
Aid is a helping hand. One doesn’t have to give aid, but is a nice gesture when they do. It’s not the U.S. fault that Mexico has problems. And these problems existed before Trump became president.

And right here it says U.S. pledges $10.6 billion dollars in Aid to Central America and Southern Mexico.
