The US taxpayer dollars have gone above the call of duty supporting Latin American countries.

Congrats on the sources.

But I have to say - no, but it needs assessment. We helped overthrow the Guatemalan government, and what we did in Chile with Pinochet has pluses and minuses. I don't think we're responsible for Venezuela. We invaded Haiti at one point IIRC. We've used gunboat diplomacy up and down the Americas. We made the Monroe Doctrine militant. So we've interfered with Governments up and down the Americas and caused destabilization in some areas. The immigration is caused by poverty, violence, and food insecurity, some of which we helped create. One of the Mexican Drug Lords had an anti-aircraft gun we gave Guatemala, but there's plenty of Kalashnikovs so we're not alone. But, no, I don't think we've gone over and above the call of duty. We probably should do more.
