Be careful Kraken you may hurt yourself. VP Pence did the same thing. They are not just leaving Guatemala they are going to the US, if they were just leaving Guatemala they could stop along the way after escaping the horrors you pretend are driving them. They come here for the benefits of living in this great country, all the free stuff for poor people, the great opportunities that are willing to sacrifice and do for themselves and the protections our systems of Laws offer. The ROOT cause is here both in the attraction and the change in policy of managing the border.

Kamal has no experience either in immigration matters or in international relations. The disbursement of Yankee dollars to Guatemala cannot paper over her tyro status. She will gain due attention and practiced smiles from government officials there as necessary for the infusion of these dollars.

But nobody so far has linked these dollars to progress (meaning change for the better) in moderating the supposed hostile conditions in that tiny nation and driving its citizens to flee to the U.S. Other sources say these individuals seek economic betterment here.

They do not want to stay in their own country to work to lift it. They know that endemic corruption stands in the way of improving the conditions for the little people.

In the meantime, she has run from her assignment by the President to manage the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, which incidentally she has never once visited. Going there conflicts with the potential of her political future (a run for the presidency).

Besides, wh**ever Kamal or the President say, actions speak louder than words. The foreign nationals perceive an open U.S.-Mexico border. Biden has fomented this view by his dismantling the controls that the former President put in place to secure the border.

From what I gather, the i*****l m*****ts seek entry to the U.S. primarily for their economic betterment. This fact explains why 90 percent of asylum applications go nowhere. The criteria for asylum does not include this motivation.

The trip to Mexico and Central America by VP Kamal will produce news stories, but effective measures to stop illegal migration from these places to the U.S. the President has abandoned or winked at. He stopped further construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He stopped the program to keep asylum-seekers waiting in Mexico while initially processing their cases.

Instead of promptly deporting all i*****l m*****ts including minors, he has detained them in the U.S. at great cost to taxpayers. He has put unaccompanied minors in "pods" (AKA cages) while awaiting processing. News reports say he deports adult i*****l m*****ts, but this aspect of his bungling at the border receives scant attention.

He put a tyro (VP Kamal) in charge of managing the social invasion of the U.S. at the border with Mexico. Kamal has yet to visit the border to examine conditions there (because doing so would threaten her political future). Now she has taken a trip to confer with leadership in Central America and Mexico as to root causes of illegal migration to the U.S. She has no prior experience in international relations, either.

In addition, adults with their eyes open and brains engaged know that endemic corruption exists in these places. So, any U.S. taxpayer dollars that go thereto will almost for sure only line the pockets of the corrupt elite, not go to relieve onerous conditions that push their people to migrate illegally to the U.S.

Overall, potential i*****l m*****ts sense that the President has opened the border to all comers. His practices speak louder than words. The invasion continues because the President has refused to close the border to i*****l m*****ts.

BS. Answer the question "Why are they coming to the US?" Where they currently live as well as "stopping points along the way" is untenable. Hunger, murder, theft, rape, bribery, graft, and other crimes are rampant. The change in policy at the border is a non factor. All the "free" stuff for the poor is a non factor. They are willing to sacrifice, do for themselves, and take advantage of the protections our systems of laws provides. You have nerve to say PRETEND. Do you not watch anything but FOX Snooze? Of course not, you're a Republicant. Lots of b***hin' no doin'.

Thanks for pointing out that single i******s are immediately deported. I believe that is correct. Your second point highlights the crux of the issue. These folks most of whom, if any, have not been vetted are released into our country on a promise to return for a hearing on their request for asylum. I have seen reports that some hearings take up to 5 years to schedule. So 90% of those who enter illegally are released and unaccounted for a lengthy period of time. Therein lies the problem with biden's immigration policy.
