Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday highlighted violence against minority groups as a “root cause” of migration that she wanted to tackle in Central America.
Harris hosted a video conference call with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei Tuesday afternoon to discuss the migrant crisis, calling out violence against “women, Indigenous people, LGBTQ people, and Afro-descendants” in the country.

Did she finally sober up enough to make a public appearance?
The invasion was under control until dementia and his ho stole the election.
The left says such patently stupid things and gets away with it. The media will present this crap as if it is words of wisdom. And the sheep will continue to be content, until it all goes wrong.
from what she said, I would say no, she has not sobered up
Afro-descendants? Shouldn’t they be called African-Guatemalans.
....and they’re coming to a country that is systemically racist. These libs keeping track of their lies and narratives must be like herding cats.
Where does she come up with this stuff?
Well, they shouldn’t come here then, because the USA is just like a HUNTUNG GROUND for the police to kill those groups, I have heard.
Say what?
What migration crisis???
She has not been to the border. She obviously sees no crisis.
So they hate each other, and they want to come to a nation where “institutional racism” is killing innocent black lives?
Do I have that right?
Are all the Guatemala trannies leaving because of violence by invading wyte peeples?
I thought it was corrupt and incompetent governments coupled along with the brutal presence of the drug trade, which is in turn financed by the addicted in the United States and Canada.
Biden is no longer competent to do things on his own. He can’t even stick to a script.
The only reason that he has not been removed is that Harris wants two terms of her own, in addition to half of Biden’s term.
I never realized that Guatemala and Nicuaraga were such a enclaves of White Supremacy.
Call me crazy but I thought that giving away “free stuff” would be somewhere on the list.
“Rates of crime in Guatemala are very high. An average of 101 murders per week were reported in 2018. (citation needed) The countries with the highest crime and violence rates in Central America are El Salvador and Honduras. In the 1990s Guatemala had four cities feature in Latin America’s top ten cities by murder rate: Escuintla (165 per 100,000), Izabal (127), Santa Rosa Cuilapa (111) and Guatemala City (101). According to New Yorker magazine, in 2009, ‘fewer civilians were reported killed in the war zone of Iraq than were shot, stabbed, or beaten to death in Guatemala,’ and 97% of homicides ‘remain unsolved.’ Much of the violent nature of Guatemalan society stems back to a thirty-year-long civil war[citation needed]. However, not only has violence maintained its presence in the post-war context of the country following the Guatemalan Civil War, but it has extended to broader social and economic forms of violence.”

“The Guatemalan Civil War began in 1960 between the government and leftist actors, and it resulted in over 200,000 deaths.”
“The high rate of murder has been blamed on ‘a highly powerful criminal cartel’, made up of politically connected retired military officers and linking with drug traffickers and other criminals. Following the end of Guatemalan Civil War in 1996, a general amnesty was granted ‘for even the worst crimes, leaving no one accountable’. The Guatemalan ‘security apparatus — death squads, intelligence units, police officers, military counter-insurgency forces — did not disappear but, rather, mutated into criminal organizations,’ and now are engaged ‘in arms trafficking, money laundering, extortion, human smuggling, black-market adoptions, and kidnapping for ransom,’ and drug trade.”
Well, if you believe in the out of Africa and Olduvai Gorge developmental process, that would be everybody so she is saying that discrimination against everyone on the planet is the cause of the crisis. That isn’t what she meant, of course.
