#1 unfortunately most foreign aid to Central America typically is stolen or wasted -- somehow AMLO doesn't understand that

ironically, the most efficient foreign aid is remittances sent by immigrants (legal and illegal) living in the US to their families

#2 about 15% to 20% of the GDP of Honduras and El Salvador is remittances

#3 How soon would that pay for the wall?

America, and the west, urgently needs to eliminate immigration of those below average wages.

#4 Foreign aid is a failed model, but don't tell that to the State Department crowd...

#5 eliminate immigration of those below average wages

More importantly, it's time to call out the left on their hypocrisy re education. Education spending via taxation is a sacred cow, but letting in unskilled (often illiterate) migrants is also a sacred cow. WTF?

#6 ...don't forget the Left's other canard of multiculturalism which means the immigrants don't learn the common language* and thus get stuck in low level menial jobs with greatly reduced chances for economic advancement (outside welfare support). Keep them poor, keep them dependent.

* not just of America, but of medicine, technology, aviation, science, et al.

I disagree. I'll bet he understands that very well and bribes to the right people will be more effective than building kumbaya campfires.

#9 Don't invest in Central America, change Mexican law to allow for proper investment and create a safe and stable business environment in Southern Mexico. If the jobs are in Southern Mexico you get the tax revenue and the central Americans don't have to go so far.
