and it's notjust money — last week the us said it would send 1.5 million vaccines doses to guatemala and mexico. but consider this: one us aid study looking into programmes in guatemala found that from 2006 to 2011, incomes rose less in places that got us funding, than in similar areas that received nothing. and the numbers heading north keep growing. in april, us border agents encountered nearly 180,000 migrants at the border — that's a 20 year high. i want to emphasise that the goal of our work is to help what islands find hope at home. is to help guatemalans find hope at home. at the same time, i wanted to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the united states— mexico border, do not come.
