The White House is casting doubt on the success of Vice President Kamala Harris visit to Guatemala and Mexico this week.

Bilateral cooperation agreements reached between Vice President Kamala Harris and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador Tuesday largely ignored the pressing humanitarian crisis at the countries’ mutual border.

Vice President Kamala Harris told Guatemalans on Monday that they must not come to the United States-Mexico border even as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues releasing thousands of border crossers into the U.S. interior. 

Guatemalan President Giammattei blamed the U.S. southern border crisis on the Biden administration sending a welcoming message to migrants.

Signs reading “Kamala Mind Your Own Business” “Kamala Go Home” and even, “Kamala, Trump Won” were displayed outside the airport.

The Vice President’s press secretary Symone Sanders told reporters they would have to travel back to the airport and switch planes for the flight.

President Joe Biden’s administration is giving businesses 22,000 more foreign H-2B visa workers to hire for working class jobs, even as nearly 17 million Americans remain jobless. 

The White House conceded that what it described as border security “commitments” from Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala are not “formal” pacts.

The Guatemalan government denied signing any deal as part of a “commitment” touted by the White House on Monday to deploy more border guards.

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed Wednesday she would travel to Guatemala and Mexico to address the “root causes” of mass migration to the United States.
