Panama and Costa Rica seek joint solution to migration crisis
The presidents of Costa Rica and Panama, Luis Guillermo Solís and Juan Carlos Varela respectively, this month came up with a joint plan to address the crisis of the thousands of illegal migrants from countries such as Haiti and Cuba trying to reach the US via the Central American Isthmus. This is not the first time that sub-regional leaders have sought a concerted solution to the crisis. However, Solís and Varela hope that their proposed plan will be accepted by their sub-regional peers and will help to resolve this humanitarian crisis once and for all.
