She continued, “The Vice President’s meeting with President Arévalo will strengthen the U.S.-Guatemala bilateral relationship and advance joint ongoing efforts to promote development, bolster democracy, and address the root causes of migration.“
Director Allen added, “The Vice President and President Arévalo will discuss additional efforts to address the drivers of irregular migration from northern Central America while continuing the implementation of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Root Causes Strategy, including in the areas of: civilian security, good governance, human rights and labor protections, gender-based violence, and economic opportunity.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the vice president to receive God’s wisdom as she meets with the president of Guatemala.
- For the two governing officials to be prudent in their discussions regarding immigration.
- For the president, vice president, and administration officials to enforce the immigration and citizenship laws already in existence.
