No. The immigration from central america comes at hands from other repressive goverments who have been ineffective in dealing with armed drug cartels, and have also massive goverment corruption. But central america has always been unstable. Think more or less, what is going on in Mexico, and replicate it through many of central american countries. The thing is that with Trump's wall looming over, illegal entry into the U.S. may soon end, so some people are making a push to enter the U.S. while they can.
On Venezuela, Trump is against Putin. This is because Venezuela is a member of OPEC and thus an ally of Russia, Iran, etc. who are actually backing Maduro up with military resources (while also looting whats left of Venezuela's treasury). Trump has been a critic of Maduro since his campaign days, and has already enforced sanctions against Venezuela.
People do want the U.S. involved, but the opinion regarding a military intervention is negative. What the southern hemisphere is looking for is mostly economic pressure on Maduro, so he is forced to resign. No one wants a war, because that would only harm the innocent venezuelans and probably increase the influx of migrants in other south american countries.. No one really knows what to do with Maduro. He is literally a dictator hanging to power with violence in an almost bankrupt empire. But any action against him would make the situation worse by hurting the venezuelan people. Unless venezuelans take up arms themselves (which seems to be heading this way) no one can really do anything.
Although if I may add, there is also the element of Brazil. The new wild card in play is Bolsonaro. A right wing president, in a country that is being hit hardest by immigration, with a strong military. So no one can know what he might do. I doubt he will declare war on Venezuela, but he is certainly the only one in south america who could. But this is pointless speculation. A war wouldn't be popular at all.
