one is the issue of the growing drought recently in central america.nd, two, this issue of the weretation of felons who convicted in the united states, may be raised in the united states but originally were from el salvador or guatemala, honduras, and have been deported in recent decades. i think "the washington post" reported el salvador alone, over 20 years, 95,000 people were deported from the u.s. after getting out of prison back to el salvador. that is 1.5% of the entire population of el salvador. people deported back to the country after serving time here in the u.s. the impact of these criminals then going down to the country were maybe were born in but they don't really know and developing the kinds of drug gangs that then force people to flee. goodu bring up two very reasons for people to leave central america. and the one you were just mentioning, we have a program in california and now in the united states were we will support -- support people who have green cards, people who are in the country legally if you are a gang member. it really do
