What effect has the War on Terror had on U.S. and Latin American security policies? Has the War on Terror impacted only the discourse regarding U.S. security policies with Latin America or has it actually altered policy implementation? This thesis argues that the War on Terror has changed the discourse surrounding its policies with Latin America but has not altered its policy implementation. This thesis examines this question by testing two policies, one with Colombia and the other with Mexico. Plan Colombia and immigration are analyzed prior to and after September 11. To determine whether or not the discourse regarding these policies has changed, a content analysis of Presidential speeches between 1996 and 2006 is performed. In order to ascertain any changes in policy implementation due to the War on Terror, changes in appropriations and how the government money was being spent was utilized.
