so the vice president will lead guatemala and she will be heading to mexico. now in guatemala, just a few moments ago, she had a message to those who wanted to cross illegally to the us and see, she said, do not come. just tell us, 1st of all what you would like to hear from her once she is in mexico where i think . 6 it's it's, it's a really hard minute lunch, but actually the, the shelters in the north of the border are overcrowded. they have a lot of people inside their shelters. they kept their shoulders. if not enough, and there are a lot of priests. the migrant people is leaving these currently leaving like right now we have seen an increasing migrant in 3 situation. be semi not really risk of being victims of trafficking form of labor or sexual exploitation. so unfortunately, there is no that about this, and there is no that are about the currency to ation of the shoulders in the, in the northern so border. but the reason is really critical. we don't, we, we have an increase in the seekers request in mexico. there is people coming from and i p cool by l

in particular, the lack of economic opportunity for many people here in guatemala. united states recognizes that it is both in our interest and reflective of our value to help create that opportunity and to share in economic prosperity. we will learn a young women's impairment initiative to increase education and economic opportunities for girls and women. understanding here in guatemala, there is a rich tradition of girls and women being a part of the culture and the economy with extraordinary skills. and therefore, the ability to thrive when seen as someone who can be the source of investment for the economic growth of the entire community. we will also invest in agribusiness and affordable housing and supporting entrepreneurs president in john tay has mentioned to me many times today. and in previous conversations about his priority around what can happen in terms of the planning of trees and what that can mean in terms of ecology and our environment. well, recently there's been a lot of talk about eco printers. entrepreneurs who are focused on climate, who are f

guatemala city in guatemala national palace. us vice president comma le harris issued a blank message to central american migrants looking to travel to the united states . i want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous track for the united states. mexico border do not come. do not come. harris was tasked in march by president joe biden to help stem the record flow of migrants that of surged along the southern board of the united states and mexico. since he took office, a majority from guatemala vimovo was standing next to harris in remarks to the press. what i'm all a president. alejandro g m a k said the solution is increased economic opportunity so migrants will choose to stay in their homeland. you can look around him, people leave due to a lack of opportunity, going to municipalities that are areas of greater migration from the how and side with the areas where poverty is greater. so we need to fight poverty. but corruption is another challenge. the united states has given guatemala more than 1600000000 and aid over the past decade to fight

she is in guatemala right now. president biden tasked her with addressing the root causes of the surge of migrants we are seeing at the border. it's not just her first international trip. it's the administration's first international trip. president biden's first will come in a matter of days when he head to europe. he has a key meeting today at the white house with the head of nato. that's not all on the president's agenda today. he has his next conversation with republican senators on a possible infrastructure deal. the gap between them at this point, about $700 billion. also for democrats on the hill, something that was likely just became real. like many conversations about the hill this year, it centers on west virginia democratic senator joe manchin. he is a no on a sweeping voting rights bill. he is a no on getting rid of the filibuster. how does this upend everything potentially that democrats are trying to pass right now, from voting to infrastructure? we will get to that in a moment. we start with the bide

and more unaccompanied migrant children come from guatemala than anywhere else. over 16,000 unaccompanied children tonight in custody what is your -- what's victory look like in this, or what does improvement look like? >> yeah, no, that's a great point. i would suggest to you that we have seen progress already when we have 12 of the biggest corporations of america who have -- i convened them in my office, and they have agreed to help us work on this issue. success so far is the bringing together of community-based organizations not only in the united states, but here in guatemala. today that was one of my meetings with civil society leaders, to let them know we see them and we understand their concerns about corruption, and we also understand their role of leadership to help us in terms of how we prioritize our work in this region. >> so how quickly does this change what we see at the border? >> i don't know that we're going to see -- listen, i've been very clear from the beginning. there's not going to be a quick fix we've seen progress, but the real work is go

what we saw in guatemala, for example where the theme that is in the united states, in guatemala and here. access to capital. big issue. are women given equal access to capital, to the financial resources they need to invest in their own entrepreneurship in a way they can achieve economic success. our young women empowerment. the conversations that i had there included that women, if they don't have collateral, we're not given a loan but because of certain customs and the way things work out, they may not have title to the collateral that otherwise would be the basis of the loans. there's discussions about the interest rates being charged. here we talked with women entrepreneurs about very similar issue and what we can do to also use technology to get direct relationships with these women and connect them with financing institutions. this is some of the work i've been doing in conveing the ceos in the u.s. including folks like mastercard and microsoft who are interested in growing the capacity in terms of their digital health of these women so we can do online banking. it's called fi

but as money rapidly now reports from the central highlands of guatemala. that doesn't seem to be discouraging. those determined to make the journey the village is indeed, here, poverty has forced many to migrate to the united states without a moment or at the moment the problem we have in our community is that harvesters are no longer yielding enough food. to muster ladders says 3 of his 7 children have left guatemala for the us, including his oldest son who died in an accident. 7 years ago, after crossing the border, to must tells us the smuggler charged his son, $16000.00 to get him into the us. a debt that fell on 2 months after his son's death remarried her. what my 1st son left, i gave him the title to this land. i gave it to you. and then i had to pay off the depth in order to save the land. the migration from central america has been on the rise in recent years, but the journey north is expensive and my grants are often forced to rely on money lenders, who except collateral, like the title of persons home, in exchange for cash. despite efforts by re

exclusively from guatemala. >> sean: sara, thank you for that report from guatemala. the contrast between the political left of the right couldn't be more clear. president trump is putting together his very own contract with america, teaming up with the author of the original contract with america, newt gingrich. at the same time congressman omar, well, she is actually preparing the united states to the taliban and hamas. demanding americans be held accountable for our unspeakable atrocities. here with reaction, all of this, fox news contributor, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. i'll let you weigh in on all of this. but if we don't control our own borders, i don't think we ever control our own destiny, do we? >> no. look, the train wreck that occupy the opening of your show is astounding. it wasn't actually happening, you and i couldn't put it together. this is an administration that seems to be almost every day tearing down the united states in one form or another. the budget he sent up is a surrender budget which guarantees that the chinese ultimately wil

he's joining us from the guatemala mexico border manual. just tell us where you are exactly, and what you're seeing. sure, and i'll just give you guys a sense of where we are right now. i'm actually going to step out of the frame just so that you can see the su, chapter river behind this, which is a natural border between guatemala and mexico. and this border, specifically, this river represents one of the biggest challenges for the binding ministration in this plan to curb migration. this is a very porous border. there's practically no police presence here and what you're seeing is more than anything else. merchants crossing aboard, wrapped to and from between the 2 countries moving moving goods and then many people just moving groceries. but this is also very popular crossing point for migrants and a place where you are likely to, to meet people smugglers. just last night we met one gentleman who was talking about the ease with which he is able to move people from guatemala, honduras, even from nicaragua, up into mexico, and then on to th

guatemala is much near home and we have the manufacturing capabilities here in guatemala. >> of course, harris, if you want business to come here they have to have confidence in the corruption. it is at the heart of the problems here. harris. >> harris: all right, so you have a high percentage of illegals crossing our border that are from the northern triangle and it breaks out to include two other important countries and all of their situations are very different. do we know why the vice president all this time into her looking at root causes, 75 days, didn't include honduras and el salvador and maybe get a clear picture from those countries? >> we don't know why she hasn't gone to honduras and el salvador as well a guatemala. she has not seen the country of guatemala. she landed last night. she is here at the palace. she is leaving today to mexico city. we have seen more of the country and a little how this trip is being coordinated. >> harris: it helped for you to be standing with law enforcement to talk about them dealing with ms-13. a missed opportunity for the vice president not

and that is why i am in guatemala today. and that is why president joe biden will travel to europe later this week. we are renewing our relationships around the globe and our presence around the world. in fact, just last week, i shared with the president that the united states will provide, as a first donation, 500,000 vaccines to guatemala. again, understanding the interdependence, a connection between us and the importance of looking out for and prioritizing the needs of one's neighbor. i am proud to report that the agreements between president jean matea and i have made today will support the people of guatemala and the people of the united states. before i get to questions, i want to highlight several of those agreements. first, security is probably one of the more important issues. president biden is i made the commitment to control our borders. we also discussed the human trafficking and drugs that have crossed those borders, undermining the security of guatemala and the people of the united states. we have collaborate

the idea is the economy in guatemala is better and if the economy in guatemala is better they won't have as much reason to leave. they've given well over a billion dollars internationally to guatemala specifically in recent years but yet immigration has gone up and people have fled. there is some concern about how much the u.s. cann really do. you can start giving more and more money but then you might have a political backlash at home so she's going to try to take an effort to study what are the root causes so the u.s. can do much about them. but sort of again the devil is in the details here. we don't know exactly if it is a problem that is going to be very easily solved. >> and her arrival is delayed because of some mechanical problems. they had to fly back after only being in the air for about a half-hour and then a delay to get another plan in place. what was the cause? >> we know there was basically a weird sound in the landing gear and it wasn't the most auspicious way to begin your first international trip outside as vice president but she did finally get a return. everyone ended

what does the vice president hope to achieve in guatemala? >> reporter: she has specifically been tasked with being the diplomatic liaison between the united states and the northern triangle countries. guatemala one of them in addition to el salvador and honduras. she won't be traveling to those two countries but after she's in guatemala meeting with the president there, she will come to mexico to visit with the president and have a couple of roundtables and discussions specifically around the root causes of migration, which ironically is something that then vice president joe biden was also put in charge of when he was in office, of course, by then president obama. so this is something that the vice president as you mentioned is just a part of her portfolio. they're hoping with this trip they can make some inroads and demonstrate how she can really handle herself on the world stage since this is someone who of course as a former senator and prosecutor doesn't have that much experience with foreign policy. this will be her first major foray i

is guatemala the right place to start? >> good evening. guatemala is aood ple to start because of the options, right? every money thanks -- everybody thinks the issues that the u.s. mexico border and that is where they put the emphasis and think about militarizing the border further, but the issue is in the countries of origin. el salvador is going through a tough political situation. we saw power grab byhe president there against the aditional power, and mexico held midterm elections yesterda therefore, guatemala was a good place to start. that has already been good conversations with the guatemalan president, and now she is going to mexico soon. what a mile is a good place to do so. -- guatemala is a good place to do so. >> tackling those issues at the source -- gang violence, no job opportunities, how can kamala harris in the united states begin to change this? >> iis a hard thing. the u.s. has a bad rate of nying economic -- in other countries. this ipositiveecause it is not just focusing on the policing and deportation of migrants, bu

for instance, in guatemala, very recently, they did and guatemala has got problems, too. they very recently arrested two lawyers who were outspoken critics of the president and the lawyers say it's because the president is trying to shut me up before kamala harris comes down here. and then when it comes to the selection of judges for their supreme court. as it turns out mired in influence peddling and corruption as well. we are stemming the tide of corruption. there is only so much the united states can do. she will talk to your point, brian, about border security and talk about economic investment. in other words, if you are going to shut off the flow to our country we will give you money. ainsley: also talking about climate change. tom homan says you want to deal with the root causes of this surge. then reinstate trump's policies. listen. >> she doesn't have to leave washington. all they have to do reinstate the policies that trump had remain in mexico. countries that migranting illegal immigrants here and let ice do their jobs. besides getting rid of all the trump poli

this is a bus company in guatemala that was extorted by the gangs. each one of these is a cell phone connected to this case. and in this case, every bust has has to pay a gang $100 a month. this is how gangs survive. >> estimated 70% of local business owners here are forced to pay gang's monthly extortion payments. those who can't pay flee. >> today vice president harris announced the formation of antismuggling and anticorruption task forces that will work with guatemalan authorities to prosecute corrupt gwatneyen politicians. harris spent the day in guatemala. she arrives in mexico city tonight. bret? >> bret: bryan llenas traveling with the vice president in guatemala city tonight. thank you, bryan. the u.s. supreme court has ruled unanimously that thousands of people living in the u.s. for humanitarian reasons are ineligible to apply to become permanent residents. that means people who entered the country illegally now have temporary protected status cannot seek green cards to remain in the country permanently. the house has passed legislation tha

one woman from guatemala took two months. she said gangs threatened to rape her young daughter, so this is really life or death for some of these migrants. but something that struck me in that news conference from vice president harris, she again reiterated the administration's plea that migrants do not come. the president, we know, has been saying that for quite some time. whether that message will reach the migrants, partly because of their education limits or they might not hear it, they were peddling that and coming up to me and saying, is that true? that was told to them by a human smuggler, basically somebody who tried to get their hopes up that they would be able to come here in the u.s. as you were mentioning, some of these families are making just an agonizing decision. they're having to decide whether to separate themselves, they feel like they're forced to separate themselves from their young children and send them over the border. we spoke to a 10-year-old and a 12-year-old who were siblings. they said they were t

harris and her trip to guatemala? >> absolutely. in fact, interviewed guatemalan president shortly after vice president harris left guatemala for mexico city. he said he was very frustrated with the mixed messages. one of the things that he pointed out was the fact that vice president harris made a statement not to come to the united states telling guatemalans, please stay, do not come to the united states. but he said that messagege conflicts with the actual policies that the biden administration has in place where they are actually allowing people into the country. and i can tell you this from being down on the border the last several months, i was sitting there watching as smugglers were delivering loads of people to our national guard and our border patrol. they weren't being arrested. an idea that president had. there should be stringent laws against smuggling and that his country was willing to do that and work with united states to actually put these people in jail if the u.s. and the biden administration would be willing to

i just recently returned from a trip from guatemala. i had been there four times over the last two years and i can tell you that they are extraordinarily frustrated with the biden administration. we saw enormous amounts of poverty, some areas in guatemala that used to be bustling towns now like empty ghost towns and they are saying wait, it's not about allocating money for humanitarian crisis that will end up in the hands in pockets of ngos across guatemala peered what we need specifically as a free-trade agreement, strong free-trade agreement with the united states. nobody is facing those facts, they said. this is from the president as well as congressmen enrique montano who spoke with me on a recent trip to guatemala. take a listen to this. >> what needs to happen for both of our nations to reach a point where we put things aside and talk about the reality of what's happening here? >> because its trade, not eight. we don't want handouts. we want the american market to be more open towards us. world-class products -- we need more as we

we're talking about guatemala, but also hunters and el salvador. now, the big question that we consider that many people have is that the united states has been providing economic assistance in aid to these countries for the past 5 decades. and many would argue that economic conditions in the country, i've actually only worse. and so many are wondering what exactly the plan is going to do and how it's going to be different from that of president biden's predecessors like donald trump and presidents before that. programs that have not necessarily failed would have fallen short to truly address economic routes of migration and allow the families of central america to, to truly thrive mental repetitive air on the border between guatemala and mexico. my will, thanks a lot brittany prime minister is call you on fellow leaders to commit to vaccinating the world against kevin 1900, by the end of next year. for us, johnson will use the g 7 summit this week to lay out his target. britain's government has pledged to give most of the country surplus faxing su

kimberly healthcare al jazeera, guatemala city, while arrivals at the u. s. and southern border have increased in recent months. arrests and detention rose to nearly a 180000 in april the highest in more than 20 years. around 10 percent of those were unaccompanied children, more than 80 percent of the people arriving, where from mexico and the tree of guatemala, honduras, and salvador known as the northern triangle area. we soto is the policy analyst at the migration policy institute. he says it's not enough to ask central american countries to do more the trip to ta, what am on this time around has really been to try to raise awareness. and i do believe that specifically around the government context. now in one model, i'm being very different from a couple years ago. even then, now we can see that differently, there's been more attention not specifically just not or not only just because of what harris has suggested in this visit. but also in the previous meeting that i've got in place, assistance in the relevant have to be part of the solution for the regi

i went to guatemala, went to honduras, traveled with a cara van through got -- caravan through guatemala. in the southern borders, it's the first place where all the migrants cross before they get to our southern border. and you go all the way back to when this vice president biden in 2014 delivered foreign aid down to the northern triangle of guatemala, honduras, el salvador, it did little to slow the flow of migration. now the real question is, as vice president harris is there today, meeting with guatemala's president, she has in hand $310 million in regional aid in a long-term $4 billion plan for the northern triangle across central america. will it actually do anything? we've had zero details. as you point out, it's been 75 days since harris was tapped and yet no plans, no press conference. we believe at some point we'll see harris and giamante together. at the end of the day, you wonder what they intend to do. back under the trump administration, jillian, president trump gave the aid but also had a stipulation, that said if you don't slow the migration down, we're pulling the aid.

in guatemala, harris announced a u.s. anticorruption task force and said better governance can convince families to stay home. >> hope must be coupled with relationships of trust. it must be coupled with tangible outcomes in terms of what we do as leaders. >> the question is no longer what can we do for the hemisphere? it is what can we do with countries in the hemisphere togeth? nick: harris isn't the first vice president to try and tackle root causes. when he was vice president, joe biden presented the u.s. as a partner to tackling the same issues and, many of those issues have become more intractable. on this trip, harris had a more immediate message. >> i want to be clear to folks who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the u.s.-mexico border -- do not come. do not come. nick: border patrol is detaining more people at the u.s.-mexico border than at any point in 20 years. republicans criticize the biden administration for ending trump-era programs, and criticize harris for not visiting the border, which sh

we told you kamala harris had flown down to guatemala city. boy oh boy her motorcade was in view of protesters in guatemala. they had signs that said among other things as you can see right there, kamala, trump won, mind your own business, and go home. ainsley: and we don't want your money. brian: this is stunning to me by the way. is this stunning to you president trump has fans in guatemala. ainsley: i was surprised by that too. you would think they would like her. she is open borders and anyone can come in. brian: new era now that donald trump isn't faying for allowing your citizens to storm our border keeping money back as opposed to president biden, we understand your plight. we understand why you want to come here. here's some money. it doesn't seem to resonate with the people. ainsley: i think the people there are concerned about the children and sara carter is down there and i was watching her last night. thee said they are paying 13 to $16,000 per person. steve: where does the money come from. ainsley: the how manies and dads down the
