Biden’s visit to Guatemala to address the number of illegal immigrants entering the US from that country turned into a mixed message.  After meeting with Central American leaders Biden says:

They have a right under our law to make the case — make the case that we’re here because we’re avoiding persecution. We’re avoiding something will physically affect our safety.
