Guatemalan president bashes JoeBiden for turning down solution to border crisis
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei approached Washington with a plan for the United States to deport people heading north from Guatemala before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border, he told Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Jennie Taer in an interview published Tuesday.
Guatemala is only returning Honduran citizens south of its border, but Giammattei is willing to fly or bus people back to other countries. The move could deter others from making the journey through Guatemala to the U.S., knowing that they would be returned. The Giammattei administration has asked the U.S. for additional financial assistance but received “very little” toward helping the government turn away illegal immigrants.
