Vice President Kamala Harris promised Central American countries to work with them to battle climate change in a speech on Tuesday, in the hopes of slowing the migrant crisis.
The vice president spoke about climate change as a “root cause” of the migrant crisis, during a virtual speech to the Washington Conference on the Americas citing the lack of “climate adaptation,” and “climate resilience” in the region.
“The work from combatting corruption to combatting climate change will not be easy,” Harris said. “And it is not new, and it could not be more important, and it will take all of us.”
Harris argued the citizens of Central American countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras did not want to leave their homes but were leaving for the United States to find hope.
“People in the region do not want to leave their homes,” she said. “They do not want to leave the communities they have known their entire lives.”
She spoke about people in Central American countries who had their homes washed away by hurricanes or were fearful of cartel violence and poverty.
“That’s why they leave home and come to the United States. They are suffering, they are in pain, many are experiencing unimaginable anguish.”
Harris expressed her concerns about violence in Central American countries against LGBTQ, Afro-descendants, and indigenous peoples, as well as women.
She said President Joe Biden’s administration would invest in countries to provide “hope at home” in the region.

Harris was dropped on her head way too many times
According to the IPCC extreme weather events are not increasing. There are hurricanes but there have always been hurricanes. What has changed is Biden is president. There is the perception he will be more sympatric to those trying to immigrate. So the people who want the higher standard of living of the United States and trying to get in.
Biden is the cause of the boarder problem getting worse, and they are blaming it on climate change.
Quite the puzzle. Immigrants seek prosperity, but the Left attacks and undermines the immigrant’s destination. America has a very long way to fall before Russia is a more attractive destination.
She is sounding at rediculous and idiotic as Mad Madame Waters with all this mindless banter but this is typical of a liberal Democrat who are all mouth and no mind
That’s just a ploy — fake news. Schumer is really in control of the boardres … https://newtube.app/user/RAOB/Ug0xehB
