Reading these columns is like that movie line- just when I think it is safe to go back into the water, you realize that it is not. Aka the Miami Herald guy. The man is a blood sucking gnat who still doesn’t get it. You live in America, not Latin America (which exists only as a continent not a country). Maybe if more LA countries had their own Trump or Bukele or Milei, then its citizens would not be fleeing them in droves to GET TO THE US. How about LA countries create their own positive agenda? Lot of comments on the poll options but I chose the WEF because they optimize the minuscule, the mundane, the stupid, the also-ran parasites that create nothing but their own image & likeness. To echo James Carville - just go away!

Yes, you would think that integrating LA countries would be a natural because except for Brazil and a few smaller places they all speak Spanish. But there are serious impediments. One is geography, with sizable natural barriers, another an apparent preference for irresponsible governments, along with endemic corruption.

Besides those, history may play a part, because most of those countries were once part of the Spanish Empire, from which they broke, usually in wars of independence.
