Exclusive — Guatemalan President: Kamala Harris Is Missing in Action on Migration Crisis; ‘We Need Greater Communication’
breitbart.com ^ | 6/30/2022 | Ashley Oliver

Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei has not spoken to U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris since January and says “greater communication” is needed between Guatemala and the United States to address the countries’ ongoing migration crisis.

Giammattei told Breitbart News during a wide-ranging interview in Washington, DC, on Tuesday that the last communication he had with Harris — a phone call in January — was not focused on migration.

“She told me she didn’t want me to appoint my attorney general. We didn’t talk about human trafficking. That was the only time that I spoke to her since she went to Guatemala, and the topic was not immigration,” Giammattei said.

The president added, “I do think that we need greater communication between the government of the United States and our government at least.”

U.S. President Joe Biden assigned Harris to lead efforts to address the “root causes” of migration in March 2021 in response to surging numbers of migrants illegally entering the U.S. through Mexico.

Harris said at a CEO Summit in June, well over one year after Biden appointed her as border czar, that the administration was “making progress” on its “long-term efforts” to address “root causes” of migration. Harris’s claim of progress appears to conflict with the sheer numbers of illegal migrants border officials continue to apprehend on a monthly basis, however.

Border officials reported encountering more than 200,000 migrants crossing the border illegally for the past three consecutive months, sky-high numbers not seen in at least two decades. The overall number of illegal migrant encounters under Biden continues to far outpace numbers seen under the Trump administration.

Kamala Harris in not eligible to be the VP under the Constitution.

She was born of two foreign parents, which makes her a foreigner, even if born here.

He probably wants to improve his nation’s trade with the USA, but all that kind of negotiation takes two to make it happen.
Kamala is ‘busy’ elsewhere.

When he heard she was giving lip service to the immigration issue, he expected something else.

Since kenyan/idonesian USURPER got away with infesting the office, that part of The Constitution is now pretty much "null and void", correct?
