Ever noticed how you never see any Costa Ricans in this migration ‘pool’? It’s generally always Hondurans, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, and Mexicans. Most people from Costa Rican will tell you that they are happy and have virtually no reason to head north.
And will no one ask and get to the root cause:
* What is wrong and so dysfunctional about these Governments.
* Are they corrupt? Inept? or both?
* What fosters the likes of M$-1* in their countries?
* And they haven't come or ask for help to grow their economies?
