magazines such as https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/06/19/bidens-dilemma-at-the-border indulge their occasional objurgation itch using ten thousand words or more to build hollow story lines using phrases like “…enabled by an underfunded and antiquated system that Congress — paralyzed by mutual animosity — has failed to address…” but never, never look past that congressional chitcho to get to the who, the intrinsic, the UNquestionable, the true, sure and certain party of responsibility for the invasion because they completely and constantly ignore the work of https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/Annual-Report-1985-1.pdf lying under a gossamer spread of purchased deference that is running the show.
From that 1985 Annual Report…
Following the pattern of recent years, a particular region was singled out
in 1985 for concerted attention. Grants were made for capacity building
in Latin America, while others sought to facilitate communication between
U.S. and Latin American international relations specialists, and to
broaden domestic U.S. participation in the debate over U.S. policy toward
that region…
At a higher level, $250,000 was appropriated for the Inter-American Dialogue
so that influential Latins and North Americans could jointly consider vital
hemispheric political and economic problems. And within the United
States, a three-year grant of $160,000 was made to the League of United
Latin American Citizens Foundation for a program to educate Hispanic
Americans in the United States about the economic and political problems
of Latin America and to encourage them to contribute more fully and positively
to improving inter-American communication and understanding.
U.S.-Mexican relations were given special consideration through a cluster
of three appropriations. A three-year commitment to Stanford University
will enable U.S. scholars and professionals to participate in a series of
binational workshops and conferences primarily to explore the interaction
of U.S. and Mexican macroeconomic policy…
A second grant, which is also available over three years, has been provided
to the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California at
San Diego to enable it to organize binational projects on the results and
broader implications of the 1985 elections in Mexico, an assessment on the
shifting balance of power in Mexico between the public and private sectors,
public policy options available to Mexico over the next decade in the areas
of rural development, urban food supply systems, employment, and
export-oriented industrialization, and a project on the consequences for the
United States of development in Mexico, including high inflation, rapid
labor force expansion, and U.S. national security interests.
A third grant assists an interdisciplinary group of Mexican scholars, in
Mexico City, to analyze how changing domestic forces in the United States
and Mexico influence key foreign policy decisions affecting their bilateral
relations. As a first step, the project will produce Mexico’s first casebook of
U.S. foreign policy decision-making on issues of interest to Mexico, which
will be followed by a monograph series analyzing how domestic
considerations confronting the U.S. and Mexican governments affect their
policies toward the Central American crisis, trade policy issues, debt
management, the international traffic of drugs, international energy policy,
and immigration.
Voila!
