VP Harris to announce commitments from a dozen companies and organizations to invest in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as part of the Biden admin.'s efforts to address the root causes of migration from the region.

of migration to the United States, a task she was given by President Joe Biden in March. Harris has had multiple calls with the presidents of Guatemala and Mexico, and held meetings with interest groups, policy experts and companies from the region.Harris has emphasized the need for economic development in the region and for public-private partnerships to address the challenges there.

April was the second-busiest month on record for unaccompanied children encountered at the border, following March’s all-time high, and the Border Patrol’s total encounters in April were up 3% from March, marking the highest level since April 2000.

The increase has strained the capacity of the Border Patrol and the Department of Health and Human Services, which holds the minors in shelters until they can be placed with relatives or sponsors in the U.S. while authorities determine whether they have a legal right to remain in the country, either through asylum or for some other reason.

Helping the rich doesn't really help migration in fact more people migrate.

Well let's be honest, they are not investing in el Salvador's people, Kamala Harris is helping non government organizations that are against the government, and at the same time 96% of salvadorans support the only government that has been elected by and for the people.

VoteBluePA They also need to address the cartels and gangs in those areas. That's the second part of the problem.

VoteBluePA Nice to once again have an administration with brains!

Giving foreign aid to corrupt governments and drug cartels does not work. Wasting taxpayers money again!!👎👎 Poor people will remain poor and uneducated.

China is already there. Thats the reason

The funniest thing is that you idiots think this will actually work. Until Guatemala gives welfare on the level that Democrats do. It won’t change a thing

This is VERY good news provided they don't screw it up with American-style 'woke' guidelines for investment.

Harris is a joke. Took the bar 3 times before passing. What a very poor administration. Let’s keep these politicians just one term. Our country is in peril with Biden’s policies

Cheaper to invest in Guatemala than building a wall. And more humane

Support to Latin American countries promised by Biden admin, risks new batches of Democrats not coming to US.

one of the few things ill agree with biden on, but unless you send military down there to assist. all that money will goto cartels.

Bout time..only way to stop it.

Honestly, we need to start thinking about Latin America as a better place for our supply chains to offset Chinese dominance.

Finally! Some logic being used to counter migration! These people making the extremely perilous journey to the USA literally have no choice. For them, it's a matter of survival and the survival of their children. And to you Trump supporters, you would do exactly the same thing.
