Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said that President Joe Biden’s confusing messaging on immigration led to the migrant crisis by encouraging human smugglers to drop off children at the U.S.-Mexico border. . . .

Editor’s Note: Below are Giammattei comments:

“The president has been talking and speaking very compassionately about migration, certainly children migration,” Mohyeldin said. “Do you believe that the president’s message about compassion is making the situation worse or is indirectly encouraging migrants to informally migrate to the U.S.?”

“I am nobody to make a judgment here, but I believe in the first few weeks of the Biden administration, messages were confusing,” responded Giammattei, translated into English by MSNBC.

“They were compassionate messages that were understood by people in our country, especially the coyotes, to tell families, ‘we’ll take the children, the children can go in and once the children are there they will call their parents.’ And so those messages were confusing. Not because of the way they were communicated, but because of the way they were translated here,” he explained.

Giammattei went on to say that the crisis was concerning because the unaccompanied minors were more likely to fall into the hands of cartels and the prostitution network as they tried to make their way into the U.S.

Mohyeldin also asked Giammattei to respond to the conditions in U.S. detention centers for those who were caught at the border. He said that the coyotes, the smugglers who lead the illegal migrants into the U.S., were far more inhumane. He also said that it would be difficult for any nation to provide the proper conditions for a massive wave of migrants. . . .

The Biden administration is exploring the possibility of sending cash payments to countries, including Guatemala, in order to stabilize the governments and economies so that migrants feel less of a push to migrate northward. . . .

Our Heavenly Father, I ask you to make wise those you have graced to be parents. Give them insight into lies of false promises for their children so they will not hand their children over to the enemy. I ask this for parents in the US as well who are so willing to sacrifice their children for the promise of success in sports, entertainment, etc all the while forfeiting their very souls. We ask for your forgiveness when we have not protected our children or raised them properly in the way they should go. Allow parents to take back the ground they have given to the enemy and take back their authority over their children. In Jesus name, amen.

This administration has done more to harm our country and our migration policies and our border than any other! Innocent children are being “used” to accomplish their agenda! There is nothing compassionate about their “policies.” They obviouslly haven’t read what happens when you “harm one of these little ones.” I admit, I never thought the U.S. would allow any administration to flagrantly get by with the things this administration is getting by with! Where is the outrage? Where are the pastors? This should be preached in every pulpit….this is wrong! God will not hold us blameless!
