Thanks for this article and the generally good reporting coming out of NPR and PBS on Nicaragua. I find it interesting that our US representatives find it difficult to distinguish between someone who tries to emigrate based on purely economical reasons and someone who flees basically because they are afraid for their lives. People in Nicaragua are emigrating for economic reasons whereas the other countries severe security and safety issues which drives more emigrations. While the economy has been good in Nicaragua in recent years, it still is the the second poorest in the hemisphere. But now lots of investment is coming from other Central American countries due to the relatively good safety and security of the country. I guess it just shows you that people can live poor but in a safe environment. If you are both poor and insecure, then all bets are off. Maybe that is why other countries are looking at the policing techniques used here. Cheers, Mike @ Bed and Breakfast Farmstay El Portón Verde, Managua
