America is the only first world country to border South and Central America, which is the region of the world with a homicide rate orders of magnitude above any other. It is no surprise violence spills over due to proximity.

I'm very interested in this border between South America and the US. most maps seem to be hiding it.

also, fun fact, when your government spends a hundred years assisting coups of democratic or socialist governments, those counties are going to have a lot of political instability.

The United States has one border with a central America country (Mexico). Please show on the map where it has a border with any south American country?

Are you seriously blaming the US's horrible society on all the latam countries they deliberately destabilized?

France have a border with South American countries, and is facing illegal incursion from Brazilian gangs in it's territory (and an army guy died for it last year if I remember correctly), still the gun violence in Guyana is pretty low (lower than Marseille). Not an excuse.
