Americans and other western countries look down on and despise south and central american countries. They see them at best as vacation spots, usually as resource havens. The peoples and governments are seen as unimportant and not as good as ours. That whole fear of migrants at the border in america is about Latin American people coming up and destroying our institutions with barbarism.
I just figured out, I misinterpreted the comment from sadstruggle92, I thought they were saying the second half of their comment represented the present, not how things were in the map above.
