Die Amerikaner wollen illegals loswerden, Flüchtlinge ohne legale Aufenthaltserlaubnis. Wo kommen diese illegals eigentlich her? Zum Beispiel aus El Salvador, wie Jonathan Blitzer im New Yorker schreibt (Called Away - a deportation crisis has fuelled an unlikely industry):

In 1981, after a protracted political crisis, a leftist guerrilla army attacked El Salvador’s military, setting off eleven years of fighting, in which seventy-five thousand people were killed. Fearing a Communist contagion in Latin America, the U.S. backed the military, despite its abysmal human-rights record, providing some six billion dollars in aid and sending advisers to help Salvadoran troops. But the U.S. support served mainly to prolong the war. About a quarter of the country’s population of five million fled to the U.S., where they sought asylum. All but two per cent of the applications were denied, so most people ended up staying illegally.
