Because the US's economic stance with Latin America is one of extortion and control, as we've seen over the past 40+ years.

He's not broken any rules. As you might remind me, you can't arrest someone for buying guns.

But there were tribes as large as thousands of people, and in Central America there were cities of tens to possibly hundreds of thousands of people. I'm not Cherokee, but I love the history of Native Americans.

That's not how it works. I suppose you're one of those people who thinks that everyone who makes minimum wage is lazy. You assume that a good worker won't get laid off. You assume that the harder you work, the more you make. That's the failing of the capitalist mindset. It exists in a vacuum.
You're okay with people starving or not being able to afford a home? You're okay with the 45,000,000 Americans without health insurance?
