The Joe Biden government announced the opening of migration centers in Guatemala and Colombia to pre-select potential candidates to settle in the United States, either to reunite with their families, for work reasons or to request refuge. With this measure, the White House seeks to stop the expected wave of migrants when Title 42 ends on May 11.
The opening of offices in Guatemala and Colombia where migrants can process their entry into the United States is part of the Joe Biden’s strategy to involve the countries of Central America in the resolution of illegal migration, a strategy that must respond to the structural problems that afflict Central Americans, mainly unemployment and violence.
Climate change
“He approach is right in he sense of that is important decongest he flow migratory and the concentration of immigrants in the border. Us we applaud a lot this initiative because fairly tackles, Let’s say, different Causes, especially in the crisis humanitarian in the border south of the state United”, commentsAna María Méndez Dardón, director for Central America at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA).
“He change climate also is a freak that does that many people have that migrate especially by the lack of access to food. Is important link he issue of the change climate and the disasters natural in Central America with he impact that that has in the security food. Is a bond very important that does that many people have that migrate”, emphasizes Méndez Dardón.
For WOLA, he continues, “a strategy centered in reply to the needs of immediate, together with a approach in the creation of employment and the investment economic and he support to the rights humans is a good strategy”.
A complex cooperation?
The United States announced the establishment of the first offices in Guatemala and Colombia, and requests the support of the countries of this region. But are the governments of this region ready to cooperate? “Strong partners or allies are needed for these types of measures. I really doubt, in the case of Guatemala, for example, that Guatemala has greater capacity. So it would be necessary to see that this would not generate, in the case of Guatemala, a crisis that would escape the hands, because as everyone knows, Guatemala is now known for high levels of corruption”, replies the WOLA director for Central America.
“This is a very big challenge because the United States government has to cooperate with governments that are practically in the midst of a significant setback in democracy and the rule of law,” he concludes. Ana Maria Mendez Dardon.
Canada and Spain, countries that join Joe Biden’s strategy, will also have offices to serve migrants from Latin America.
