Having worked with immigrant students for the last 4 years, I work with many young men who due to interrupted education are still in high school at "military age". Not only do most young immigrants understand the privilege it is to be in the U.S. and work hard to achieve their dreams, but the violence they are fleeing almost all has roots in U.S. policy. There's not enough room to go into the U.S. backed coups, but I will say ATF found that 40% of guns recovered from crimes in Central America and 70% in Mexico came from the U.S.

We need to look at everyone through the lens of humanity, even terrorists and criminals. The less OTHER'ing we do with people, the better off society is in general. Thank you for writing this though :)
