The Hidden Hand Behind Today's Border Crisis
Central America's story isn't just distant history-it's the backstory to today's headlines about migration caravans and asylum seekers. When families arrive at the U.S. border, they carry with them the consequences of centuries of American intervention that most U.S. citizens know nothing about. The region dismissed by some as "shithole countries" was deliberately shaped by American foreign policy, corporate interests, and military intervention. The roots of today's migration crisis stretch back to different colonial systems-the U.S. emerged from British settler colonialism that eliminated Indigenous populations, while Central America experienced Spanish extractive colonialism that exploited Indigenous labor. After independence, Central American elites modeled their nations on the U.S., viewing Indigenous peoples as obstacles to progress and implementing forced labor systems for coffee production. By the early 20th century, American corporations like United Fruit Company controlled vast territories across Central America, creating the original "Banana Republics." These companies effectively governed through corruption and military force. When Nicaraguan leader Jose Santos Zelaya challenged U.S. hegemony in 1909, America orchestrated his overthrow and occupied Nicaragua until 1933, installing the Somoza family dictatorship that would last over four decades. Why does this matter? Because the migration patterns we see today follow historical routes shaped by over a century of U.S. economic and military involvement.
