Kamala Harris tells migrants ‘do not come, do not come,’ during press conference in Guatemala

Vice President Kamala Harris in Guatemala Monday warned potential migrants not to flock to the US border — saying they will be turned away if they do.

“I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home, at the same time I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making the dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border — do not come, do not come,” she said. Harris’ comments came at a joint press conference with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei in her first visit abroad since being appointed by President Biden to lead the administration’s efforts to stem the southern border crisis that has seen a massive spike in illegal immigration since he took office.
