Guatemala will send 1,500 military and police personnel to its border with Honduras while setting up 12 checkpoints along migration routes,\u201d the Hill reported, based on Biden administration claims.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill notes that White House Domestic Policy Council aide Tyler Moran repeated the claim in an interview with MSNBC earlier this week, claiming that the administration had \u201csecured agreements for [the three countries] to put more troops on their own border. Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala have all agreed to do this. That not only is going to prevent the traffickers, and the smugglers, and cartels that take advantage of the kids on their way here, but also to protect those children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guatemala\u2019s government, though, said in a statement Tuesday that it did not negotiate or sign an agreement with the Biden administration and that it moved troops to its border months ago, in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Alejandro Guimmattei has committed, since the beginning of his term in January 2020, to strengthen border security as a strategy to battle transnational threats like drug trafficking, human trafficking, and as a preventive measure in the face of the pandemic,\u201d Guatemala said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p>Guatemala\u2019s government also notes that it deployed the military to the border to \u201cmaintain their commitment to fortifying border security,\u201d implying the move came as a result of agreements in place before President Joe Biden took office.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/vp-harris-planning-trip-to-mexico-guatemala-to-deal-with-the-root-causes-of-border-crisis\">Daily Wire reported earlier Wednesday<\/a>, it appears the Biden administration is trying to shift focus from the ongoing immigration crisis on the border to the \u201corigins\u201d of the crisis in Central America. Although Vice President Kamala Harris, placed in charge of the border crisis, has yet to visit any of the border detention facilities housing thousands of child migrants captured at the border over the past several months, she announced that she will visit both Mexico and Guatemala on a listening tour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/vp-harris-planning-trip-to-mexico-guatemala-to-deal-with-the-root-causes-of-border-crisis\">VP Harris Planning Trip To Mexico, Guatemala \u2018To Deal With The Root Causes\u2019 Of Border Crisis<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
