The billionaires want their personal city-state nations and they don't want to follow any rules or worry about governments in Central or South America telling them "no".
They don't want anymore interference from Congress or courts or protestors. They are betting on people folding and following orders. I believe that was the strategy in all that suing and bullying of businesses, press and universities. They are priming the pump as it were.
I truly hope Im wrong but I won't be surprised if I'm right.
