Vice President Kamala Harris is in Guatemala and Mexico this week to better understand the root causes that drive Central American migrants to the US. It's her first foreign trip as vice president after Biden tasked her with leading efforts to stem the flow of migrants to the southern border. The Biden administration is under increasing pressure to address the situation at the border, and Harris' visit comes as a record number of unaccompanied children crossed into the US this spring. In the region, Harris plans to meet with not just political leaders but also community leaders and entrepreneurs.

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'.

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.

I find it ironic that you ping on Kamala Harris having "no experience either in immigration matters or in international relations" yet you v**ed for/support Trump... for all of HIS NONEXISTENT "experience either in immigration matters or in international relations."

Hypocrite!!!!

Harris will NOT try to solve this problem alone "because SHE is the only one who can solve this problem" (that's a Trump line, in case you don't get the sarcasm). She will allow those people with the experience to do the job. A good leader is one who delegates... something Trump could not do because NO ONE was as smart or capable as DJT!
