AND THAT’S WHAT.WE’VE BEEN SEEING.WE’VE BEEN.SEEING CS FOR IN DIRE.CONDITIONS BOTH IN GUATEMALA.CITY AS WELL AS IN THE RURAL.PARTS IN SOME OF THAT IS AS A.RESULT OF NATURAL DISASTERS..CERTAINLY THE GLOBAL BROUGHT.ON BY THE CORONAVIRUS HAS.IMPACTED THERE ARE ALSO.STRUCTURAL ISSUES AS WELL..WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS.HAPPENED IN THE SHORT TERM YET.TO NATURAL DISASTERS TO.HURRICANES IN RECENT YEARS..COUPLE YOU KNOW, DRY.CONDITIONS ACCESS.
HE ALSO.EXCESS RAINFALL THAT HAVE.RUINED A LOT OF AGRICULTURAL.BASE OF THE FARMERS IN THIS.COUNTRY THAT RELY ON THAT LAND.FOR FOOD AND BEING ABLE TO.TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES.AND EARNING A SOURCE OF.INCOME.BUT WE’RE ALSO TALKING.ABOUT THE PANDEMIC’S AND THE.PANDEMIC HAS IMPACTED PEOPLE.HERE IN A PLACE LIKE GUATEMALA.CITY.WE SPOKE TO LADY WHO IS.A MOTHER OF 3.SHE WORKS AT A.SCHOOL WHERE HER CHILDREN WENT.TO SCHOOL WHEN THAT SCHOOL.SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE.CORONAVIRUS.SHE LOST HER JOB.AND THEREFORE LOST A SOURCE OF.INCOME LOST HER ABILITY TO.FIGHT FOOD HAS BEEN SPENDING.MOST OF HER TIME GOING FROM.SOUP KITCHEN TO SOUP KITCHEN.JUST TO HAVE FOOD FOR HER KIDS.AND SELLING CANDY ON THE.STREET ONLY TALK ABOUT THE.STRUCTURAL PROBLEM THAT BIG.PICTURE PROBLEMS, THE.GENERATIONAL PROBLEMS THAT.EXIST THAT HAS A LOT TO DO.WITH THE GOVERNANCE OF THIS.COUNTRY.YOU HAVE VERY ROLE..PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAS.NO INFRASTRUCTURE, NO ROADS,.NO BASIC SERVICES LIKE.EDUCATION, CLINICS,.ELECTRICITY, RUNNING WATER..THERE’S JUST AN ABSENCE OF THE.GOVERNMENT.THERE IS NO.GOVERNMENT.
THERE IS NO.SECURITY IN THESE AREAS.AND.THAT HAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.FOR ORGANIZED CRIME TO MOVE IN.AND FILL THAT POWER VACUUM..AND THAT’S REALLY WHERE THE.CONCERN IS.HOW DO YOU BEGIN.TO CHANGE BOTH THE IMMEDIATE.SHORT-TERM CRISES AS A RESULT.OF NATURAL DISASTERS IN THE.PANDEMIC AND THEN HOW DO YOU.REFORM THE COUNTRY TO ADDRESS.THE LONG-TERM STRUCTURAL.GENERATIONAL PROBLEMS..>> I IN THEIR HUGE PROBLEMS.YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.I.MEAN, PEOPLE STARVING AND AN.ABSENCE OF GOVERNMENT.WHEN.YOU SPOKE TO THE GUATEMALAN.PRESIDENT ABOUT WHAT’S GOING.ON THERE.WHAT DID HE TELL YOU.AND WHAT THE GOVERNMENT, WHAT.IS THEY’RE TRYING TO DO TO.HELP ITS PEOPLE..>> YES.SO, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE.TRYING TO MAKE A STARK.DEPARTURE FROM THE PRESIDENT..TRUMP ERA.
NOT YET PRESIDENT.BIDEN.THEY’RE TRYING TO SAY.YOU DON’T NEED WALLS.
YOU.CAN’T STOP THIS OR SAW THIS.WITH WAS WHAT YOU NEED IS A.WALL OF PROSPERITY.HE WANTS.TO SEE MORE FOREIGN INVESTMENT.IN HIS COUNTRY WANTS TO SEE.MORE ASSISTANCE FROM THE.UNITED STATES.NOT NECESSARILY.IN DIRECT MONEY TO HIS.GOVERNMENT.BUT MORE MONEY IN.INVESTING IN PROGRAMS THAT.WILL HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF.THE SUFFERING THAT TAKES PLACE.IN THIS COUNTRY.SO HE WANTS.TO MAKE ONE OF MY A SOURCE OF.PROSPERITY THAT WOULD STOP.MIGRANTS FROM LEAVING THIS.COUNTRY WANTING TO STAY OR HIS.ARGUMENT IS VERY SIMPLE.
IF.PEOPLE HAVE EDUCATION, IF THEY.HAVE HEALTH CARE, IF THEY HAVE.JOBS AND ARE HAPPY TO LIVE.HERE.THEY’RE NOT GOING TO.WANT TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE.AND.SPOKE TO HIM TODAY.THAT’S.WHAT HE EMPHASIZED FOR US.BUT.YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SPEAK TO.ORDINARY GUATEMALANS WILL TELL.YOU THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS.ABSENT.THEY’RE LIKE YOU DON’T.GET ANY ASSISTANCE OR SUPPORT.FROM THEM.AND THAT HAS BEEN A.MAJOR COMPLAINT.
WE SPOKE TO.ONE YOUNG MAN EARLIER AND OUR.TRIP HERE TOLD US ABOUT HOW.THE PANDEMIC HAS IMPACTED HIS.LIFE HERE BUT ALSO IMPACTED.HIS FAMILY IN THE UNITED.STATES WHO SENDS BACK REMAINS.IS TO SUPPORT HIM AND HIS.FAMILY.TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT.HE SAID..>> I MEAN, BY THIS PICK, GOT.TO IN FULL..>> THIS IS THE OTHER GUYS.>> SO ALLISON, LET ME TELL YOU.WHAT THE PRESIDENT TOLD US AS.WELL, WHICH IS NOT ONLY IS IT.THAT HE WANTS TO BUILD THE.PROSPERITY WHILE HE DID ALSO.HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CRITICISM.FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.WITH THE COMPASSIONATE.MESSAGING THAT HAS BEEN COMING.OUT.WHY WE SAY THAT BECAUSE.HE BELIEVES THAT MESSAGE OF.COMPASSION COMING OUT OF.PRESIDENT BIDEN’S WAS.INTERPRETED HERE AS A SIGN.THAT IT WAS OK TO IMMIGRATE.FOR MIGRATE TO THE UNITED.STATES.
IT’S CERTAINLY BEING.USED BY THE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS.TO EXPLOIT MIGRANTS.HERE’S A.PART OF THAT INTERVIEW WITH.THE PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA..WATCH..>> THE FORMER BECAUSE THE.LONGER HER IDEA WAS RECEIVED.WELL BY THE WHITE HOUSE ON.WHAT ALLOWING ME TO A PURSE.BID YET THAT WE CONVERT.QUANTUM ALL INTO A PROSPERITY..WILL PHYSICAL WALL AND DON’TS,.NOT PEOPLE.A BUSY MOTHER, A.LITTLE BIT OF PRETTY ACTUALLY.WITNESSED INTO PLAY PROSPERITY.LOWS.
YOU IN A SALUTE TO THE.PEOPLE HAVE JOBS HEALTH.EDUCATION.THE HOUSING THIS.AND SECURITY KNOW THEY DON’T.LEAVE..>> THAT WAS PRESIDENT 100 JIM.MCKAY TALLYING GUYS ABOUT THAT.PROSPERITY.
WHILE THAT HE.WANTS TO TRY TO BUILD HE.BUILT.HE KNOWS HE WON’T BE.ABLE TO DO IT ALONE.HE WILL.NEED THE HELP OF THE UNITED.STATES AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL.PARTNERS, PARTICULARLY MEXICO.WHERE MIGRANTS GO 2 AFTER THEY.LEAVE GUATEMALA HOUSING..>> SO A MAN HE CRITICIZED THE.BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.WE KNOW.THE ADMINISTRATION PUT VICE.PRESIDENT HARRIS IN CHARGE OF.TRYING TO STEM THIS FLOW OF.MIGRANTS.DO WE KNOW SHE’S.PLANNING TO VISIT GUATEMALA OR.ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE.NORTHERN TRIANGLE TO SEE.WHAT’S GOING ON WHERE YOU ARE..>> WE POSE THAT QUESTION TO.THE GUATEMALAN PRESIDENT.
HE.CONFIRMED THAT HE DID IN FACT.SEND HER AN INVITE.HE DID SAY.THAT SHE HAS ACCEPTED THAT.INVITATION TO COME HERE AND.SEE FIRSTHAND THE CONDITIONS.ON THE GROUND.HE SAID THAT.SHOULD BE TAKING PLACE IN THE.COMING DAYS.WE’VE REACHED OUT.TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND STILL.WAITING CONFIRMATION ON HER.TRAVEL PLANS.IT WOULD BE VERY.SIGNIFICANT FOR HER IF SHE.CAME HERE BECAUSE THE.CHALLENGE THAT THE AMERICAN.GOVERNMENT HAS NOW IS TO MAKE.SURE THAT THE MONEY THAT IS.BEING SPENT IS NOT BEING.SQUANDERED.
LOOK, THE U.S.HAS.SPENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER.THE COURSE OF THE LAST 10.YEARS IN TRYING TO PROP UP.WATER ME.
YOU LOOK AROUND.YOU.DON’T SEE A GOOD RETURN ON.INVESTMENT.IN NOT DOLLAR.VALUE.SO I THINK A LOT OF.PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED..CERTAINLY AMERICAN LAWMAKERS.ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS TIME.AROUND.THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE.THE MONEY HAS A POSITIVE.IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF THE.LIFE OF THE PEOPLE HERE.I’M.NOT LOST IN THE SYSTEM OF.CORRUPTION AND BAD GOVERNANCE.THAT HAS CRIPPLED GUATEMALA.AND QUITE FRANKLY, A LOT OF.THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL.AMERICA..>> YEAH.AMEN, THANK YOU SO.MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING.WE.HAVE TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT.WHAT’S GOING ON AT OUR.SOUTHERN BORDER.
