Everything You Need to Know About Kamala Harris' Trip for Stemming Migration to the US!

Surges of migrants from Central America have been steadily going to the US border in hopes to flee corruption and poverty. The Biden administration is now under pressure to stem the arrivals.

When President Joe Biden started making significant changes to border and immigration policies, many migrants took it as a sign that it’s okay for them to start migrating to the US. This caused many hopefuls from certain countries; particularly El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to come in droves.

In response, Vice President Kamala Harris announced that these individuals need to be discouraged from making that arduous journey to the US border. She said this in a joint news conference with Alejandro Giammattei, the President of Guatemala, during a three-day diplomatic trip to the Northern Triangle.

Vice-President Harris also announced new steps to fight corruption, smuggling, and human trafficking in Guatemala. According to her, she and President Biden agreed to continue their efforts in managing migration at the northern and southern borders of Guatemala!

Harris said that the US would aid in creating a task force for human trafficking and smuggling, together with an anti-corruption task force. This way, local prosecutors can be trained and supported to have an independent judiciary to root local corruption networks.

The Biden administration already pledged a $4 billion plan to improve the development in the region to tackle the root causes of migration. The president also pledged $310M in humanitarian aid.

 

Consult an immigration lawyer

Whether you are coming from one of the countries mentioned or from other parts of the world, you might want to consider the risks of coming to the US border during this time. As per VP Harris, the US continues to enforce their laws and secure the borders. As a result, anyone coming to the US will be turned back.

If you are planning to cross the US border to seek asylum, you might want to consult with one of the immigration law firms in NYC. A good immigration lawyer from Manhattan NY can help you enter the US legally!
