They are economic refugees from an economic Hurricane Katrina unleashed in Mexico and other Latin countries by the extremist free market polices that have been championed by the Republicans ever since the 1980’s.

You mean that all poverty and suffering in Latin Countries arent the direct result of what the Republican party in the US have done the last 25 years?
