Border Crisis 2021
Kamala Harris’ Trip to Guatemala and Mexico Was a Flop
avatar By Matthew Tragesser June 9, 2021
Vice President Kamala Harris recently traveled to Guatemala and Mexico to discuss the “root causes” of migration with government officials in the region.
Although there was already minimal confidence in Harris’ ability to effectively address the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, she managed to further lower expectations. Harris’ first trip overseas was as bad as it could get and confirmed that the United States (as well as Guatemala and Mexico) should not have any confidence in her ability to lead regional migration strategies and secure the southern border.
Harris’ trip overseas started rocky before she even landed in Guatemala. In a CBS interview that aired the day before her visit to the country, Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said that he and Harris were “not on the same side of the coin” on migration and that his administration “asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving.”
