    Excellent reply by Ben Norton countering this narrative btw:

    When it comes to imperialism, Democrats and Republicans are indistinguishable bloodthirsty anti-communists and racists

    Nicaragua has some of the lowest migration levels in Central America

    Most migrants are from Honduras (after a US-backed far-right coup), El Salvador, Guatemala

    DHS data on undocumented immigrants detained in 2020:

    318,516 Mexicans

    61,382 Guatemalans

    51,011 Hondurans

    23,051 Salvadorans

    13,028 Ecuadorians

    11,227 Cubans

    7917 Brazilians

    2739 Nicaraguans

    2220 Dominicans

    1639 Venezuelans

    Blaming "communism" is insane
