Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said the Biden administration refused to provide Guatemala with the tools to stop or deport illegal migrants heading to the U.S.
The stuning accusation came in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation from his presidential palace.
Giammattei told the DCNF that he’d requested that the Biden administration move its deportation planes and buses to Guatemala for the country to use in returning illegal migrants to their home countries before they reach the U.S. He even offered to permit U.S. ICE officials to operate without his country’s borders in order to help stop them from prioceeding to the American border.
They flat out refused.
He said it would save the Biden administration hefty costs of such large migration waves and allow migrants from far away places to go home immediately — keeping tens of thousands of illegal aliens from swamping the U.S. border, as they have relentlessly done since Biden took office in 2021.
Guatemala hopes to deter such action by working with the Biden administration to deport them as soon as they can, said the President.
“Having all of these people in the United States costs the U.S. government millions and millions of dollars. We have suggested that they should keep the airplanes here, so that we ourselves can deport them back to their countries of origin, be it Haiti or be it whatever the country. If they keep their airplanes here, we can send them back. Otherwise, why wait until the people reach U.S. soil to then spend millions and millions of dollars to then send them back?” Giammattei said.
Why indeed? Unless the goal is to make sure they DO come to the United States without interruption.
Currently, Guatemala expels non-Central American illegal migrants to Honduras. Several illegal migrants from Afghanistan who were expelled to Honduras recently crossed back into Guatemala and reached Mexico in a matter of days, they told the DCNF.
“We have also stated that we could use the buses to return these people to their countries of origin,” Giammattei said. “And they have told us that they cannot do that because their laws don’t allow it.”
The U.S. has invested a total of over $109 million in programs in Guatemala in 2022.
On Oct. 13, the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala announced that it gave 95 vehicles, including Toyota Hilux vehicles, Hino 5 and 12 ton trucks, Toyota Land Cruisers and Suzuki ATVs to the Guatemalan military to support border security efforts. The donation is meant to support Guatemala’s efforts in combating transnational crime and drug trafficking.
Despite the large amounts of aid for programs that support humanitarian, governance and health needs, as a few examples, Giammattei says there’s been little aid given to actually send illegal migrants back to their countries of origin. The Biden administration has emphasized that while giving aid, it’s working to crack down on corruption in Guatemala.
“We have requested assistance from the United States. And in this sense, we have received very little assistance,” Giammattei said.
How is this not treason?
