Those countries with
lower GDP are not in a position to be much help in offering employment to
fleeing migrants. The smaller economies and their GDP includes
Panama $66.71 billion,
Poverty 23%
Costa Rica $57.08 billion,
Poverty 21.7%
El Salvador $24.81
billion, Poverty 34.9%
Nicaragua $13.81
billion, Poverty 30%
Belize $1.838 billion.
Poverty 41%
GDP in Guatemala is
$76 billion, but poverty is 59%. GDP in Honduras is $23 billion, but poverty is
60%. Jobless South and Central American citizens are migrating. Venezuela is
bankrupt and uninhabitable, because their Socialist government over-borrowed
and overspent on social programs in order to get elected. I blame the voters.
Attempts to address
poverty with social welfare programs have backfired on Central and South
American countries who adopted these programs. Government policies failed to
address the need for families to be able to grow their own food. Poverty breeds
crime and socialism and both are destructive to families.
The Drug Problem will
continue to plague these countries until it is eradicated. But poverty breeds
coca production and drug money breeds government corruption. Colombia has
reduced their drug problem and other countries should be copying them.
