Guatemala’s prez blames Biden for border crisis as protesters tell Kamala Harris ‘Trump won’:
Vice President Kamala Harris was greeted Monday by protesters in Guatemala telling her “Trump won” and “go home” — as the country’s president blamed President Biden for this year’s migrant crisis.
The rally was visible to Harris’ motorcade as she arrived to meet with Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei one day after he blamed the US for luring his constituents north.
“Kamala, Trump won,” read a large sign near the Central American country’s presidential palace.
“Kamala, Mind Your Own Business,” another sign said, according to a pool report.
Images posted to Twitter show other signs, including one that tells Biden’s migration czar: “Kamala, Go Home.”
Another large sign set up by activists features a doctored photo of a pregnant Harris. --->READ MORE HERE
Guatemala President Blames Biden For Border Crisis, Kamala Harris Deflects, Blaming Climate Change:
Vice President Kamala Harris claims the current crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border is largely the result of climate change and the economy. The president of Guatemala, Alejandro Giammattei, disagrees.
In April, U.S.-Mexico border detentions reached a 21-year monthly high when over 178,000 migrants illegally crossed the border. A number of these unaccompanied minors and families who cross the U.S.-Mexico border come from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
Giammattei argues that the region’s climate and economy aren’t the prime culprits for the unprecedented rise in illegal U.S.-Mexico border crossings, but that the Biden administration’s immigration policies are to blame.
Despite the fact that Harris was placed in charge of diplomatic outreach on the migrant surge, she has refused to visit the border and went more than 41 days without holding a press conference on the growing crisis. Rather than converse directly with border communities and overwhelmed CBP agents, Harris traveled to Guatemala Sunday, as part of her first overseas trip since assuming the vice presidency.
Former President Donald Trump and his administration strongly opposed illegal immigration and asylum-seeker caravans. Trump focused on border wall construction and imposed a “Remain in Mexico” policy, which mandated that most Central American asylum-seekers wait in Mexico, while U.S. courts reviewed their persecution claims. --->READ MORE HERE
