Here’s the summary of the interview via the Daily Mail:
And how soon until CNN and other news outlets go with the “Republicans pounce” framing? It’s coming:
WATCH: Guatemalan president says Joe Biden’s policies encourage illegal immigration from “all over.”

Yep:
He's right—Biden created this crisis. https://t.co/52Ms9d0730

It was also so, so predictable:
guatemalan president to u.s.: when you send mixed messages about immigration, people are going to come https://t.co/nRVN2b31LR

Well, Dems will pretend it’s not the case:
Like, we all understand this is correct, right? Nobody who actually reads up on how would-be illegal aliens follow the news from their home countries and decide to move based on our internal politics (b/c they're not dumb) doubts this. But we'll pretend it's not true for Reasons. https://t.co/FEMxKOkJhV

Now we just need Biden and Co. to admit it and we might get something done:
Again: the "root causes" line from Harris and Biden is a canard. Everyone knows why there's a border crisis, even the leaders of the sending countries are willing to admit it. https://t.co/hwa5WGMc4S
