One third of El Salvador population has moved to the US:

"Violence in Central America," Joaquín Villalobos. Consultant on International Conflict Resolution, Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.Yale.edu (No date on study. Statistics through 2010)

p. 69: "El Salvador is the Central American country that has suffered the greatest destruction to its social fabric as a result of emigration.  Approximately one third of its population emigrated, primarily to the United States, and remittances became the mainstay of the Salvadoran economy.

There is therefore a connection between the financial model and the violence experienced by the country.

Migration to the United States

El Salvador emigrated inhabitants 2.9 million
Guatemala emigrated inhabitants 1.5 million
Honduras emigrated inhabitants 1.1 million....

p. 64: The Honduras murder rate is the highest in the world, El Salvador occupies second place, Belize the sixth and Guatemala the seventh. Central America went from a rate of 27 homicides in 2000 to 43 in 2010."...

Karl Denninger became famous for sending tea bags to congress and the president. By Oct. 2010 Denninger said the Tea Party had been co-opted by the Republican Party and had lost its original focus which was rampant government corruption and theft. 

7/12/14, ""I Demand"..... and?," Karl Denninger, Market-Ticker.org

"This is an invasion orchestrated not only by Mexico but by our government itself in direct contravention of the law. They get away with it because The Rule of Law no longer means anything for anyone in the Government. Speaker Boehner could cut this crap off instantly by refusing to bring any appropriations bill to the floor until the law is enforced; he need sue nobody as The House holds the power of the purse, and without funds Obama can't pay the electric bill for the White House."...

"ENVIRONMENT

Because of heavy cutting, the forest resources of El Salvador had been reduced to about 5.8% of the total area by 2000. Forty-five percent of the wood taken from the forests has been used for fuel. Peasant farmers burn the small trees and other growth on the hillsides to plant corn and beans, thus hastening the erosion of the topsoil. Seventy-five percent of the land area in El Salvador is threatened by erosion and desertification at a rate of 20 tons per hectare per year. The government enacted forestry conservation measures in 1973, but they have had little effect on the rate of deforestation. Among the environmental consequences of forest depletion, in addition to loss of soil fertility, are diminution of groundwater resources and drastic loss of native flora and fauna.

Pollution is widespread and restrictions on waste disposal, including disposal of toxic waste, are lax. By 1993, 90% of El Salvador's rivers were polluted. Safe drinking water is available to 91% of the urban population and 68% of the rural dwellers. Forty-six percent of the nation's 18 cu km of renewable water sources is used for agricultural purposes.

There is no comprehensive national law controlling environmental protection, and the legislation that is on the books is poorly enforced. The National Environmental Protection Committee, established by decree in 1974, has had little impact. In 2003, about 0.4% of the total land area was legally protected. There are two Ramsar wetland sites.

The pollution of the environment in El Salvador is a serious threat to the survival of its plants and wildlife. According to a 2006 report issued by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), threatened species included 2 types of mammals, 3 species of birds, 5 types of reptiles, 8 species of amphibians, 5 species of fish, 1 species of invertebrate, and 25 species of plants. Endangered species in El Salvador included the tundra peregrine falcon, four species of turtle (green sea, hawksbill, leatherback, and olive ridley), American crocodile, ocelot, spectacled caiman, jaguar, giant anteater, and Central American tapir.

POPULATION
 
The population of El Salvador in 2005 was estimated by the United Nations (UN) at 6,881,000, which placed it at number 98 in population among the 193 nations of the world. In 2005, approximately 5% of the population was over 65 years of age, with another 33% of the population under 15 years of age. There were 97 males for every 100 females in the country. According to the UN, the annual population rate of change for 2005–10 was expected to be 2.0%, a rate the government viewed as too high. The projected population for the year 2025 was 9,052,000. The population density was 327 per sq km (847 per sq mi), which makes it the most densely populated country in Central America. Overpopulation is considered a major problem in El Salvador. A majority of the people live in the central plateau.

The UN estimated that 59% of the population lived in urban areas in 2005, and that urban areas were growing at an annual rate of 2.7% for 2000–2005. The capital city, San Salvador, had a population of 1,424,000 in that year. Other major cities and their estimated populations are Santa Ana (250,000) and San Miguel (245,428)."...
