In Colombia, a group with the US Agency for International Development Funds helps Venezuela, who has fled the country’s dictatorship and the economic crisis.
In Haiti, another program in which USAID receives the amount of millions of tonnes of bean seeds is ready to be distributed to farmers and fishermen’s tools tools that of the country’s widespread appetite, violence and instability Will help maintain families.
These programs are a part of the complex net of US global aid as well as a part of the US Global Aid that solves humanitarian needs and helps to reduce migration to the United States and other countries by helping people maintain themselves –
The Trump administration is filled with USEAD programs and abuse because they have eliminated the agency practically, President Donald Trump has called on it to “close” it on Friday. But those who have worked with USAID programs say they have some role in preventing migration – and their goals to end the illegal entrys in the United States and control the border in the United States Can help meet.
“The lack of opportunities is the lack of opportunities, the lack of opportunities,” said an official with a USAID partnership program in Colombia. Lack, a good quality of life and to know that you can be better at different places. ” He did not want to identify with the fear that the program could be targeted.
On Friday, a federal judge ordered a temporary break of the Trump administration’s planned administration for thousands of USAID employees.
Most of Venezuela’s refugees have moved to other Latin America countries: by November, Columbia haDi Took the highest in approximately 2.8 millionAccording to the intracellular coordination platform for migrants and immigrants. On the contrary, about 600 600,000 Venezuela are temporarily safe in the United States, which Trump is eliminating.
Migration is usually the product of many factors: economic misery, political oppression, increased insecurity, criminal syndicate or violence through domestic violence, as well as better educational and economic opportunities, family relations and even Even the desire for love and marriage.
But according to Trump working with aid groups, the programs have added money to a new push factor, which can help people survive or overcome these factors in other countries.
“We have no problem saying to people that I want to review the program. I think it is good and important,” Gabriel, the pastor of the National Latino Evangible Alliance, participating in humanitarian aid programs in many countries. Salgiro said.
But the lack of explanation and breaks is at stake, he said. According to USAID financing programs in Latin America, some programs provide direct cash payments.
Salgiro said his group’s phone line has flooded the calls of the people of the United States, which helps non -faith -based people around the world.
“Historically poverty has played an important role in migration. Poverty and hunger contribute. I go back to the book of birth, a famine and God had to guide Joseph … I don’t think Jesus He said, “I was hungry and you gave me to eat,” Selguro said.
Maintain ‘economic chain’ – and help in STEM migration
Emily Chambers Sharp, Director of World Health and Communications Global aidA Christian human -friendly group that receives USAID’s financing, said the group has obtained about 4.4.3 million tonnes of seeds for beans that were distributing to farmers.
If farmers can affect them and get their crops, they have the protection of food. Chambers Sharp said, “To go away is not so attractive.
“There has also been a meeting with fishermen in Haiti, who talked about how the aid helps them to prepare hurricanes and storms that pass, and once again, Haiti. I help keep people, which has a difficult place to live. ”
Those farmers and fishermen take their products to the market and the farmers can put the seeds aside next season, so the program provides long -term support.
Chambers Sharp said that the seeds or fishing tools should not be found “when they cannot get their goods, they remove them from the economic chain.”
In his first term, Trump questioned the migration of people from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries, citing them as “Shithol” countries. In 2021, President Joe, in charge of Biden, reached thousands of Haiti in the US border, and fled the country’s political instability and violence. Conflicts arose when the US border patrol agents behind the horses tried to expel some people who have already crossed the border. A Homeland Security Department found that some agents used unnecessary force.
Catholic Relief Services, which receives US Aid Funding, Makes a relationship between her work and migration In a document on his website that describes the reasons that people move from Central America to the United States has exported family -owned businesses through groups and drug owners, the youth left unemployed because they The palaces are controlled by criminals, natural disasters and poor climate conditions.
The document states that “Guatemala, Honduras, and CRS work in El Salvador indicates the main reasons for flight to the United States in which we protect children from smuggling, keep children in school and some Helps young people away from groups in the most difficult palaces. ” “For example, programs like Youth Blood provide young people with life, job skills and business training that can be otherwise on the streets.”
USAID is being reviewed when those coming to the southern border have a dramatic decline, a slide that began at the end of the Biden administration, but it is significant compared to similar periods last year. More As of January 27, according to an American official, the number of southwestern border competitions was 813, less than 833 before the week, compared to an average of 1,552 during the month of December.
“President Trump can simultaneously secure the southern border, while the Federal Bureaucracy indicates useless costs,” White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement to NBC News. “They will reduce programs that will not be in accordance with the agenda that the American people gave them a mandate in November to implement and keep the United States implementing programs.”
To overcome violence, reducing migration
An unprecedented Paris Foundation in Colombia is focused on national reconciliation, after the country’s government and the revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) rebel group was formed in 2016 after a peace deal.
Years of clashes between the FARC and the Colombian government participated in the United States in Colombian migration. Although the peace between the two factions has made Colombia more stable, the country is still struggling.
“The US Aid Fund Receipt Organization” is very upset, said Laura Bonila, deputy director of the Foundation.
Bonila, who was assigned to the peace deal and the post -dispute overwhelming work, said that during the first part of the implementation of the peace deal between 2014 and 2016, the lowest of violence and migration in Colombia, during the first part of the implementation of the peace deal. There was a rate. In the decades
“At that time, the migration was low because people had a lot of expectations and hope the situation will improve,” Bonila said. “If you have a country in which the rate of violence is low, people do not want to migrate.”
Latin America and the Caribbean receives Much less aid than other regions. According to the Pew Research Center analysis, in 2023, the region received $ 1.6 billion for sub -Saharan Africa and $ 100 million, compared to $ 1.5 billion for Europe and Eurasia.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who now oversees USAID, Issued a discount of Trump’s executive order that stops USAID To allow continuity of “life -saving humanitarian aid programs”.
Rubio has said that USAID did not cooperate with the administration in identifying programs that are in accordance with US foreign policy, so the Department of State is now combing through programs to find people who can find national interests. Eliminate more and eliminate those who don’t eliminate them.
“This is not about the elimination of foreign aid,” he said at a recent news conference in Guatemala. It is about to be formed, which has strengthened the national interest of the United States. ”
“Not only is it a good idea, we are bound by US taxpayers because it is a taxpayer money,” he said.
But Rubio’s waiver bans migration and refugee assistance programs that provide life -saving humanitarian aid and supports people with their return home to their country or a third country, such as the United States. He was deported. It forbids any programs in which it “labeled a gender or DIIDology program, transgender surgery or other non -life -saving support.”
Although Rubio’s exemption is allowing some work to resume, the program leaders are also entering to apply for a discount for programs, even when they are laying staff because their payments The money has been shut down.
Chambers Sharp said that some groups had completed the contracts and the next step was to report the completion of a program to USAID so that the contractor could be paid, but with most USAID staff, U. There is no way to close SD and its headquarters. There is no one to help them work through the payment and any contract or exemption process.
USAID program personnel who did not want to identify, said that DEI programs were also prohibited. Many poorest people or who are most tortured are from LGBT Q, Afro Latino or indigenous communities or women. Their help with their help is not on their identity, but are focused on them because they are the weakest.
“If we have a women’s job program, is this DI?” The officer asked. “We don’t know.”
