it is a problem that started in central america, taking away 8 from central america, destabilized the governments that had only a tenuous hold any way, restore aid to central america, work on economic developing, get our allies to work so that people are not forced to flee because they are afraid of the gangs and see no future for themselves or their children. but the second parties here and what we do in america. we must stop this business of for-profit detention centers. nobody should make a profit from locking people up ever. [cheers and applause] >> i will do that. we must abide by international law and international norms and we must treat the people who arrive here with dignity and compassion. if they are asking for amnesty we need procedures, they need help to be able to make that plane. if they are refugees then we need to take our share of refugees from around the world. we lead the world by example. donald trump is leading in the wrong direction. i promise you i will turn this around starting on the first day. we will not, not be a nation that treats people like this. thank

i spoke with one of them and they come from central america. she said the reason she was here is that she had given a drink of water to a police officer. the next day the word that gangs believed she was working with them so that meant she and her baby would be killed. so with no thought or planning she wrapped her baby up and ran for the border and made her way to our border as a dangerous journey and then put in a cage. a great nation treats every human being with dignity for what is happening at our borders must stop. [applause] must stop. so how do we do that? this problem is in no small part made by donald trump it starts down in central america , taking away eight from central america to destabilize the government that has a tenuous hold anyway. i will restore a two central america and work on economic development so that people are not forced to flee because they are afraid of the gangs and see no future. that the second part we must stop the business of for-profit detention centers nobody should make profit from locking people up ever.

-- happening in central america. i asked him, what happened in central america that they introduced communism and socialism? exactly what's going on right now in the democratic bench, how they are selling communism and socialism is how it was sold in our country which turned out to have a civil war, and there were a lot lives that were lost. i urge everyone to vote for trump because he is anti-socialism, anti-communism, and all of the lies the democrats are trying to sell you, they are lies. nothing is free. college is not going to be free for everyone. someone has to pay for it. i urge everyone to vote republican, because the democrats are just telling a lie. host: all right, we are waiting for the former vice president to enter the venue here in waterloo, iowa. we were here earlier today, listening to former south bend mayor pete buttigieg. if you missed what he had to say to the residence, you can find that on our website, c-span.org. this is the last event for the former vice president for the evening, just a cou

but also you have a region that was unified, looking for a way out of the war in central america. we had the group, for example, and that means that most of the regional big countries were also trying to look for a way out and share in the economic ambition. so it was the international context fabled a peaceful solution. after -- i mean the problems we have with, of course, the situation specifically in nicaragua with the revolution, but in general, the international context was very favorable for the kind of alternative. and secondly, they -- the internal actors had very clear that when they were losing the war, and so there were incentives for them to negotiate an alternative scenario. i think that is something that we have not been able to achieve in the case of venezuela because as miguel already said, every time that they were trying a new negotiation, the international community decided just to suspend the application of the sanctions. that is, you know, a big mistake when you are negotiating. in the case of venezuela. that is something similar to colombia. i also think that

even under extreme duress i would argue that many of the people coming up from central america listen to conversations like this and here people here or elsewhere who are unwilling to make distinctions in their rhetoric on the way they talk about policy ought to be between when the motives of somebody was looking for work, somebody was looking for temporary work to save money to go back home for somebody who is playing domestic violence partly from their lives. there's a whole lot of complicated motives there. the people, from central america are other parts of the world of mark migrating to europe, have complicated and mixed motives which is why i would agree with elisa, that we do have to do due diligence to make sure they find out with those motives are. some of those motives are people really seeking to come up here to improve their lives and we don't necessarily owe them a damn thing. this be 51 of the problems is access to counsel. most people in this room i'm sure look professional to deal with their finances, you knew a doctor to deal with your health, and into a lawyer and ha
