"Something must be done to end this crisis or reduce it to a minimum, which implies implementing concrete, tangible policies so that countries no longer throw up their citizens."
I sure agree with you on this issue. It is horrible conditions that force people to flee homelands, and it would be far better for all concerned were such exodus not necessary to emigres.
Thanks!
Hello my friend. Sorry for me being so late when answering your last comments. I have been way busy by these days with some demanding personal and work tasks. I am glad you agree with me on this. Regional affairs are turning worst as you can follow, and we have not a sound program to deal with this. Take the current dynamic in Haiti. We have that multinational security mission deployed there but yet we have saw the last massacre in the Artibonite region. People have being fleeing for years to Dominican Republic but now they are allegedly being literally hunted to be deported ASAP. In Texas some officials are not abiding by the law when dealing with migrants arriving between ports of entry, pushing some back to the Mexican side without allowing them to claim they fear persecution at home. Thanks for your big contribution to this space again my friend.
I understand being busy with priorities.
I note that the impoverished Haitians are being victimized by armed thugs, well armed thugs likely profiting from black markets. I have before stated what I think should be done to eliminate such profits, but failing such rational resolution of the gang problem, something else can be done to prevent gangs from terrorizing helpless men, women, and children.
That is to arm them well. I started training my sons in firearms when they were three. As a result I am apprised that children can be safely able to wield firearms. I am confident that were even just the women and children to be armed and trained to defend themselves, the gangs would leave them alone. Gangs of thugs are usually cowards, and have little interest in facing danger. They just like to hurt others because they're so weak themselves, and, of course, there's money in it.
Rather than dispossessed women and children facing the dismal and dangerous prospect of trying to find asylum where too many have fled to before and folks are saturated, enabling them to defend their homes and communities, their lives and families with military arms, ammunition, and proper training (which would likely be a lot less expensive than importing them) would leave the gangs unwilling to persecute them, and likely out of the industry and looking for useful work instead.
I have seen armed children dissuade armed gangsters from assaulting them. I have seen armed children turn professional military force away. When casual or opportunistic violence threatens, armed children change the equation in the calculations of cowardly bullies. Peace through strength is not a meme. It is the hard reality of life.
