The US government has made every effort possible to stop all broad-based, grassroots, revolutionary movements in Central America which have tried to address the issues of poverty and oppression.
Today, we remember the tragedy of the murder of 6 Jesuit priests in El Salvador who had the courage to speak for those poor and oppressed. They died at the hands of the US-trained and funded Salvadoran military.
The Reagan Administration gave $1.3 billion dollars in aid to the puppet government in El Salvador, which killed over 50,000 people including priests, nuns, journalists and union leaders.
Do you want to know why the poor of Central America are rushing to our borders? Look no further than our own government policy there over the past century.
