This is a very dumb analogy. The American revolutionaries were resisting political and economic subjugation by the British. Central American migrants are fleeing poverty and gang violence caused by U.S. policies.

So by your logic, Central America should declare war on...us?
Also, the American revolutionaries were mostly wealthy landowners and the people they could rally to their cause, with an assist from the French government. Even if declaring war is the answer here, and they have someone to declare war on, declaring war is freaking expensive.
So yeah. It's clear you don't understand either the Revolutionary War OR the Central American migrant crisis. But thanks for playing.
