Guatemala’s President Says Biden’s ‘Confusing’ Messages Created Border Crisis

Guatemala’s president is blaming the Biden administration’s “confusing” messages ​for creating the crisis at the US border — the second leader to make that claim after Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador made similar remarks in March.

“I believe that in the first few weeks of the Biden administration, messages were confusing. They were compassionate messages that were understood by people in our country, especially the coyotes, to tell families, ‘We’ll take the children,'” President Alejandro Giammattei said Tuesday during an interview on MSNBC.

“And children can go, and once children are there, they will call their parents,” he continued.

If Guatemalans could just vote Democrat from their native country without having to take that treacherous northward journey, all these problems could be avoided. In compensation, Biden could send them stimulus checks electronically.

If they're still alive and not being held as sex slaves in some hell hole. Even if they avoid the pitfalls, the girls will all be raped on the journey.

What kind of parent hands their child to coyotes like this???

Ummmm... confusing messages. You mean like when Biden offered the following while pandering in a 2029 debate moderated by Jorge Ramos, “you want to flee, and you’re facing oppression, you should come.” You mean confusing messages like that?

Last night I was watching a video (I don’t know who produced it) about 20 illegal imigrants, all women and all prenant crossing the border at McAllen, Texas and then getting on buses. No husbands, fathers, brothers were present. Just obiviously pregant women, some who looked very young.

It was organized to be sure. I wonder who paid to have them arrive in Texas.

Please, don’t give those maniacs ideas. Look for mail in ballots postmarked in Nicaragua.

I think the message was crystal clear: come for the free goodies paid for by American taxpayers.

I disagree.

“Come one, come all” is quite clear.

People in Central America are selling everything they can and giving it to THE CARTELS to smuggle their kids into the USA.

HOW does this help poor countries? It’s freaking IMMORAL. Biden is an ass and Harris is brain-dead.

If a concerted effort were made to evangelize, assimilate, home school, train, and welcome this mass in the way of the free market, Dems would build the wall in a heartbeat.

Nothing confusing about his message to aliens. He welcomed them with open borders.
