It’s The Other Way Around: Central American Immigrants Aren’t Invading Us. We Invaded Them ...

excellent piece trying to shed some light into gringos' moral blind spots
I would have emphasized a bit more, that Jacobo Árbenz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobo_Árbenz
("Red Jacobo" as he was officially being called at the time by USG) wasn't even any kind of threat to U.S. corporations in any way. He wanted very little, just subsistence level farming, for his people, but, of course, how could "great America" put up with that?!
It is all based on some sort of Nazi "Lebensraum" doctrine called in the U.S. "the Monroe Doctrine" ("America for 'Americans'", which with they mean and seem to wholeheartedly believe: "we actually own the whole continent"):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Doctrine
which was "freedom lovingly" and very concretely (not philosophically) championed by the "great, nice and true" U.S. President "Teddy" Roosevelt.
As Tarleton suggests in that article we should thank Trump and his cabinet for being honest about their own shameless statements, even if very partially and very selectively so. As they have publicly said (trying to give it a "good Christian" spin to it): "what sort of people would dump their children in the U.S. border?" At the end of the day those explicit performances do way less harm than those of "cool" Obama.
I think gringos can only speak, think in "short sentences" about those and many other problems, because they simply can't look at the whole picture.
