Reagan's Orphans

The irony of the latest "Immigration Crisis". e.g. the children now appearing in huge numbers from Central America is that both protesters and the children are refugees from the Reagan years. Incomes for most  in the U.S. since the 1980's have fallen; the children, and most Central American Immigrants, are refugees from the United States policies of the 1980's. This should be viewed as "blowback", or the consequences of the United States empire. We are, in many ways, all Reagan's orphans.
