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.
She said:
There are also longstanding issues that are often called the “root causes” of immigration. We are looking at the issue of poverty and the lack, therefore, of economic opportunities; the issue of extreme weather conditions and the lack of climate adaptation; as well as corruption and the lack of good governance; and violence against women, Indigenous people, LGBTQ people, and Afro-descendants.
Harris said she wanted to help Guatemala after describing the region as a source of violence against minorities and the host of poverty and corruption.
“We want to work with you to address both the acute causes as well as the root causes in a way that will bring hope to the people of Guatemala that there will be an opportunity for them if they stay at home,” she said.
Harris said the United States had a responsibility to improve living conditions for Guatemala.
“Part of the spirit behind our work is that, of course, the Western Hemisphere is our collective home, and the people in it and our neighbors — including the people of Guatemala — are nearby and we have a responsibility, therefore, to engage,” she said.
Harris is expected to travel to Guatemala in June to further highlight the migrant crisis after President Joe Biden put her in charge of diplomacy with Central American countries to help stop the flood of migrants coming to the Southern border.
The vice president has repeatedly claimed she is not in charge of the overall migrant crisis at the border but the “root causes” in countries like Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
“The president has asked Secretary Mayorkas to address what is going on at the border… I have been asked to lead the issue of dealing with root causes in the Northern Triangle,” she said at an event earlier this month.

So why do they want to come to the most racist country on earth?

She has no viable data or evidence that any of what she says to be true.

So if violence against minority groups is a “root cause” of migration, why would they want to come to a country she and other Dems think is the most racist country on the planet?

The root cause of migration is our own stupidity of open borders and free shite.

Yeah, all those tranny black El Salvadorians that we see flooding the border everyday is all the evidence we need, right?

Do they ever have any stats or anything to back up their statements? It's like she's just spreading propaganda and everyone allows it.

The world is belly laughing at the current administration.....we’re in serious trouble y’all.

Mind numbingly stupid beyond words. She is saying they want to come to America because of climate change and they are LGBTQURS wanting rights. Yet she downgrades America for the same things.
She is a fricking nutcase marxist bitch.
They are wanting to leave to escape marxism & communism you dumb twat. But you can't say this because it is what you are.

Kamala Harris can't do shite other than lie on her back for other powerful politicians.
Posted on 4/28/21 at 3:24 pm to djmed
Didn’t she already say that climate change is the root cause?

Well you see, climate change makes it hotter for the pronoun crowd, makes them flee to colder climates.

Hell, has anyone up in here ever heard a conservative politician use the term 'root cause'? It's always the left.
