VP Pence in Guatemala: “Exodus” of Central American Migrants Must End

HeadlineJun 29, 2018

In Guatemala City, Vice President Mike Pence told the presidents of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras Thursday that the Trump administration will continue to stymie the efforts of Central American migrants seeking to enter the United States.

Vice President Mike Pence: “Among this flood of illegal migrants are human traffickers and violent gang members, like MS-13. But most are making the journey seeking economic opportunity, driven by the misguided belief that they can ignore the laws of the United States and enter our nation without consequences. I say, with great respect to the presidents gathered here, this exodus must end.”
