The Biden administration recently struck an agreement<\/a> with Chobani Yogurt (yes, you that read correctly) to help address the recent surges of illegal migration from the Northern Triangle countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new move was announced by Vice President Kamala Harris and requires the company to \u201cbring its incubator program for local entrepreneurs to Guatemala.\u201d According to the Greek yogurt\u2019s website<\/a>, the incubator program \u201cis a program for companies taking on broken food systems to bring better food to more people. In addition to investment, we give startups access to our network and expertise in order to scale up their operations and achieve significant growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the barely five-year old<\/a> program and its focus<\/a> on E-commerce, website design, and retail software will help address levels of illegal migration not seen in some 20 years<\/a> remains unclear. But what is clear is that the Biden administration continues to spend its resources and time on initiatives that ineffectively address the root causes of illegal migration from the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\naddition to its agreement with Chobani, the administration also struck\nagreements with 11 other American corporate companies including Microsoft,\nMastercard, and Nestl\u00e9 SA. Similar to Chobani, these companies will have a very\nminimal impact on addressing the root causes of illegal migration in the\nNorthern Triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft is expected to \u201cexpand internet access to as many as three million people in the region by July 2022.\u201d But how it intends to expand internet access to people who have limited means to access it also remains unclear. Nearly half<\/a> of the population in this region does not use the internet. And thinking that providing increased internet speeds will somehow curb illegal migration from this region is borderline inept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestl\u00e9 SA\u2019s Nespresso sub-unit \u201cplans to begin buying some of its coffee from El Salvador and Honduras with a minimum regional investment of $150 million by 2025.\u201d Purchasing coffee will provide a minor boost to the local economies, but in the grand scheme it is unlikely to prevent people tens of thousands of individuals from fleeing this region. The vast majority of migrants from this region repeatedly indicate that they migrate to the U.S. to avoid local gang violence, to find better economic opportunities, or to reunite with family\u2014all of which do not qualify<\/a> for U.S. political asylum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration should be looking internally at the pull factors encouraging record rates of illegal immigration into the country. Migrants and human smugglers know full well that the southern border remains wide open. The Biden administration has halted<\/a> the vast majority of southern border wall construction, brought back<\/a> the infamous Obama-era \u201ccatch and release\u201d policy, and is not removing<\/a> the vast majority of family units and unaccompanied minors who enter the country illegally under the Title 42 public health order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a migrant crosses the border unlawfully, they have virtually no chance of being removed from the country. Each agent in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently averaging<\/a> one illegal alien arrest every two months and the agency\u2019s 6,000-person unit deported fewer than 3,000 illegal aliens from the country in April\u2014the lowest monthly total on record.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nBiden Border Crisis doesn\u2019t stem from poor marketing of a start-up company, lack\nof high-speed internet, or not enough coffee being exported\u2014it stems from\nsystematic failure and corruption in the sending nations, and from Biden\u2019s\nradical immigration policies and messaging that dismantled the nation\u2019s border\nsecurity and interior immigration enforcement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
