Reply to comment by MarbleFox_ in Council report: NYC ‘failing to meet the moment’ as it faces migrant surge by lifandigoosogn

More people globally have moved out of poverty since 1990 than any time in history, driven by modernization in India and China. We are seeing the same now in Nigeria. The fact that it isn't happening in the LatAm countries is a tragedy that the US should take leadership on. But we shouldn't ignore the tremendous strides in alleviating global poverty over the past generation

I’m not ignoring the strides that have been made globally, I’m talking about the impact we have had with NAFTA and CAFTA throughout Central America over that same period.

Why are you bringing up Asian and African countries when the person clearly brought up NAFTA and other trade deals that are overwhelmingly effecting the people that are crossing our border and causing the current immigration crisis?
