Talk about blaming the victim.
Via Washington Times:
A day before meeting with President Obama at the White House to discuss the border crisis, the presidents of Honduras and Guatemala blamed the wave of unaccompanied children inundating the U.S. on American foreign policy and on gridlock in Congress over immigration reform.
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez said ambiguity in Washington’s immigration debate has helped human smugglers, called “coyotes,” convince Central Americans that they can stay in the U.S. if they make the long, illegal journey.
“That is a situation that the coyotes are very perversely taking very much an opportunity to exploit,” Mr. Hernandez, speaking through an interpreter, told reporters. […]
Mr. Perez and Mr. Hernandez suggested that more U.S. aid to their countries would help solve the problem.
“We’re dealing with the problem, even with our limited means,” said Mr. Hernandez. “But with the level of complexity of the problem we can’t do it alone.”
Mr. Perez added: “One dollar invested in Central American security is one dollar invested in U.S. security.”
