As detention facilities overflow and illegal immigrants cross the
border at record numbers, Kamala Harris has decided to plan a tax-payer
funded visit to Guatemala. On Monday, she detailed these efforts during a
virtual meeting with the country’s president.
Harris appeared all too eager to send billions of taxpayer dollars
overseas. This also apparently includes funding to counteract so-called
climate change and fund extreme weather preparations in the Central
American country.
“The United States plans to increase relief to the region, strengthen
our cooperation to manage migration in an effective, secure and humane
manner,” Harris asserted.
President Alejandro Giammattei suggested they build a roadmap to secure the cooperation he needs from her.
“You may rest assured, madam vice president, that the Guatemala
governor wishes to be your partners in order to address the common goals
to eradicate not only poverty, but he causes of so many evils that
afflict us,” he stated.
Critics have pointed out her eagerness to plan a trek to Central
America and give them financial compensation runs in stark contrast to
her lack of support for border security as well as her outright
dismissal of Americans and Republican lawmakers when they ask her to
visit the southern border.
In New Hampshire on Sunday, a reporter asked the Democrat when she plans on witnessing the border crisis first-hand
It was quickly pointed out that while Harris may see Americans concern
with the ongoing border crisis as nothing more than a political game,
she seemingly has no problem prioritizing the concerns of foreign
nations over those of American citizens.
