VP Pence Urges Central American Leaders to Discourage Illegal Immigration
Thu, Oct 11th 2018 @ 1:02 pm EDT
Vice President Mike Pence called on the leaders of the Central American counties that make up the Northern Triangle to take more steps to discourage illegal immigration to the United States. Many of the illegal border crossers in recent years have come from the Northern Triangle countries that include Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, including the majority of family units and unaccompanied alien children apprehended at the border.
"The leaders in this room and the governments that you represent should tell your people — don't put your families at risk by taking the dangerous journey north to attempt to enter the United States illegally," vice President Pence said. "The truth is your message can probably be summed up by telling them that if they can't come to the United States legally, they should not come at all."
