VP Pence in Guatemala: "Exodus" of Central American Migrants Must End
---------------------------------------------------------------------

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."
