As the Trump administration attempts to deal with the crisis at the border, the Trump administration is reportedly taking a different approach. They're sending Homeland Security agents and investigators to the Guatemala-Mexico border to advise Guatemala’s national police and migration authorities, the Washington Post said. The goal is to keep these people from flocking to the United States' border.
"Plans call for at least several dozen DHS agents and investigators, and one DHS official briefed on the plans said about 80 U.S. law enforcement personnel will deploy as part of the mission," WaPo reported. "Another DHS official said Immigration and Customs Enforcement will send 18 Homeland Security Investigations agents and intelligence analysts, along with six agents from the Enforcement and Removal Operations division."
The unofficial announcement comes after DHS and the Guatemalan government signed an agreement on Tuesday. The two countries will work together to combat human smuggling and trafficking; drug trafficking; illegal trade and financial flows in the Northern Triangle of Central America – Guatemala, Honduras. and El Salvador.
“I am proud to sign this agreement with Minister Enrique Antonio Degenhart,” Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan said in a statement at the time. “Through our continued collaboration and partnership, the U.S. and Guatemala are formalizing a number of initiatives to improve the lives and security of our respective citizens by combating human trafficking and the smuggling of illegal goods, helping to limit ‘push’ factors that encourage dangerous irregular migration to the U.S., perpetuating the ongoing crisis at or border.”
The plan is set to last for two years, CNN reported.
whatever it takes
who the hell had this bright idea? Target practice for the Sinaloa Cartel? I’m sure a few DHS agents are going to turn those vermin right around!/sarc
I still say shoot the coyotes.
Hand out photos of AOC, Talib, Omar, and Mad Maxine. They will no longer want to come to the US.
Land mines. Thousands of them.

Sounds like to me they’ll be in Guatemala, I believe it’s a step in the right direction.
Sounds like a winner to me. :^)
When these invaders are CHARGED WITH CHILD TRAFFICKING, KIDNAPPING AND CHILD ABUSE maybe THEN will I start to believe ANY of these agencies are actually fulfilling Trump's agenda.
WE ARE ALL BEING BULLSH*TTED into believing efforts are being made to curtain this INVASION.

Some BP guy said the other day they need more babysitters. Maybe they’ve trained these DHS guys in diaper changing.
At this point nothing would surprise me.
I saw that, they recommended hiring babysitters so it would free up BP agents to do their real job.
Some of our keyboard warriors are turning on Trump.
YES! It IS unusual cruelty BUT They’ll need to seek medical attention in Guatemala due to severe digestive upset.
So many job advertisement in TX. ...must be bi-freaking-lingual.
Illegals control TX.
I hope they aren't government bureaucrats thinking they can control our lives like they think they're bright enough to advise a genius like our President.
Obama holdover pacifists pretending to be experts.
Just build a wall for southern Mexico and electrify it.........
“human smuggling and trafficking;
drug trafficking; illegal trade
and financial flows”
Nothing here about hordes of
invaders being stopped or
detained at Mexico’s southern
border. They’re there to help
with contraband would be my
guess.
I believe that PDJT is dealing the best he can considering the legions of resisters he has to maneuver within and out of government and the constrainted powers he has available. A masterful performance that keeps opponents in and outside the the USA off balance and out of whack. Masterful.
