The recent visit of The United States vice president mentioning that they will support the fight against corruption, the fight against human trafficking and contribute to the economic development of Guatemala is all a lie. The visit is kind of a general expression “Atole with the finger» simply applying to the actual visit, it will only deceive everyone.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. In a short time, us Guatemalans can say that, we are all the corruption. Really the topic is that one of the worst President that Guatemala has encountered Alejandro Giammettei and “Pinche gringa puñetera” Vice President of the United States signed an agreement that seeks to stop the irregular migration to the United States. In other words, making it worse for us to relocate. In summary of the actual visit: to stop migration. «
Just wanted to keep it clear USA needs to fix its problems at home before messing around in Central America. Leading a responsible nation requires delicate balancing. U.S. President Joe Biden must manage the time he spends on domestic and international politics, so he does not neglect thorny national issues, or overlook international situations where the United States claims to desire to play an important role. Despite stringent drug policies and punitive laws, the United States also has high levels of lifetime illegal drug use. A 2018 study found that the United States has illicit drug use rates among the highest in the world, that has never changed. Also, the syphilis experiments in Guatemala took place between the years 1946 to 1948, within a program sponsored and executed by the US government in our country.
When a nation’s foreign policy is more assertive than its domestic policy, problems can arise. So many messages for vice president Kamala Harris only showed the needs that all sectors of our country need a drastic change, and they ask her like if we would be clinging on to a miracle. The United States pivot to Guatemala is not unwelcome — but for it to be a responsible and sensible policy, it must be a balanced one. Otherwise, U.S. action will not only be counterproductive, but too costly for a nation currently always losing the battle but wanting to win the war anyway possible. No one wants the United States to stay away from Central America — but if it cannot manage the task, perhaps it should stay focused on the problems within its own borders.
