Miami is less than five hundred mile north west but they head off across the Caribbean south to Colombia and then due west before heading north through seven borders and countless rip-offs. This is direct foreign aid to minimise dislocation v enlightened immigration v isolation at all costs thrown into stark relief. And it is unlikely to improve. |  |

Absolutely! So all those Scots wishing for independence, don't try and colonise a tiny part of of the Panamanian Isthmus this time, ok? |  |

Although the infertile English were at least able to get a Monarch and continue the franchise in return for that small outlay. | |

Tho that was a century earlier. It was James VI's great-granddaughter who oversaw the Act of Union.
Also, the English royalty at the time were not so much infertile, as rather too keen on bumping off alternative branches of the family (having too many candidates for the throne had, admittedly, been rather an issue in the preceding couple of generations). |  |

My facetious point aside, isn't it curious how two nations under one crown had separate empire building schemes? Scotland's failure to find El Dorado would have been convenient strategically for the English court.
Nowadays the only people finding El Dorado are the human traffickers, no doubt some of whom have turned to this trade as towns further north have gotten sick and tired of the lawlessness around cocaine smuggling and started to outgun the drug traffickers. | |

Between 1603 and 1707, they had completely separate governments - and even went to war against each other (in 1639 and 1640, the Bishops' Wars, which Scotland won). | |

And another update:

So 13,000 mainly Haitian migrants are going to be flown from Texas to Haiti, where most will no doubt migrate back to other Latin American nations before once again attempting to get to the United States. In the intervening years they will earn a little money (to some extent nullifying the earning opportunities of other Latin Americans) and save just enough to have extorted from them as they try for a second time, or third or fourth ad infinitum, to reach a place where a very few may make good but many may find they regret getting to. Perhaps the United States could up its game when it comes to overseas aid in its own back yard and coud also do a bit more to publicise how it is not always such a great place to live? | |
