The president of Guatemala says President Biden’s confusing messaging encouraged smugglers to drop off children at the U.S.-Mexico border. President Alejandro Giammattei says: “They were compassionate messages that were understood by people in our country, especially the coyotes, to tell families, ‘we’ll take the children, the children can go in and once the children are there they will call their parents.’ And so those messages were confusing. Not because of the way they were communicated, but because of the way they were translated here.”
