The full story about immigration you aren't getting from politicians and the media. Watch More: The Military-Industrial Drain ►► https://youtu.be/OnR84h7t5kI A desperate combination of factors are driving migrants and asylum seekers to our southern border, from Central America in particular: deep economic inequality, corruption, and high rates of poverty, as well as violence and instability tied to historic U.S. support for brutal authoritarian regimes, right-wing paramilitary groups, and corporate interests in Latin America.
