  It really is at least most of them.
  
  Depends on what region you are talking about. Not for South America not that it changes what was done.
  
  This doesn't even include the indirect ways we mess with them, like drug cartels legally buying their weapons here or the war on drugs.
  
  You can point to things that can be done better in US, but blaming USA for indirectly impacting those countries isn't fair imo. Just because USA serves as a huge customer base for those drugs and cartels can get weapons from US doesn't mean it's USA fault or that USA wants that.
context: Most are fleeing completly lawless countries that are being run by gangs and drug cartels. Others are fleeing cripling poverty. For them its a choice of  Illegaly immigrating into the US seeing your entire family die. If you can solve those two problems and youll drastically reduce illegal immigration . >
  
  It would have helped if the US hadn't intervened in these countries thereby destabilizing them which contributed significantly to the conditions these countries now have. >
  
  So let's be real here as bad as USA was in cold war it's not "these countries" as if all or most it's some. >

  Here's a wikipedia page of direct US involvement regime change in Latin American countries.
