Guatemala Intel Secretary: Economic Migrants Arriving in U.S. Are ‘Picketing Mob’ for Open Borders

Guatemala’s Secretary of Strategic Intelligence Mario Duarte says migrants arriving at the United States-Mexico border are coming to the country for economic reasons and have been “weaponized” as a “picketing mob” for international open borders organizations.

In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Saturday, Duarte said the truth about illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border is that most migrants are looking for jobs, not asylum, and that the lack of opportunity in Central America is largely due to globalization.

Duarte said:

The situation with the migrants, there is something people have to understand. A lot of … politicians have claimed throughout the years that migrants, or people from Central America or other places in Latin America, they try to migrate to the United States mainly because of security reasons because their lives are threatened … unfortunately, the truth is very different. Most of the people are trying to reach the United States because of economic reasons. Basically, what they have is a lack of opportunities in our countries. [Emphasis added]

And it is true that our governments are the responsible ones for those [reasons] … throughout the years, we have had all of these globalized, or globalization projects, in our countries where they are trying to pretty much install the will of other countries, pretty much the [United Nations], in our ways of doing government. And I’m not talking about … or taking away the blame of governments that have been corrupt … I’m talking more about judges, magistrate, our judicial system, being co-opted in a certain way by leftist tendencies. Basically taking away the rights of legal businesses of establishing in Guatemala … because there is no judicial certainty here. [Emphasis added]
