US mulling cash payment to help curb migration
By Tal Axelrod - 04/09/21 08:41 PM EDT

The White House is mulling sending cash payments to certain South American countries to try to help them battle domestic issues that are leading people to migrate to the U.S.

Roberta Jacobson, the White House’s southern border coordinator, told Reuters in an interview that the possible program would send money to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

“We’re looking at all of the productive options to address both the economic reasons people may be migrating, as well as the protection and security reasons,” she said.

Jacobson declined to state how precisely the program would work, but told Reuters, “The one thing I can promise you is the U.S. government isn’t going to be handing out money or checks to people.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

The remarks come as the U.S. faces a burgeoning crisis at the border.

Border Patrol agents in March picked up about 168,000 people trying to cross the southern border, breaking the record for most monthly encounters since March 2001.
