Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The State Department intended to eventually open 100 of these processing centers in the region, with support from DHS, the International Organization for Migration, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
52% : It wants the borders of our Latin American neighbors to remain open as well.Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei told us that earlier this year in an interview that he asked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken for help closing Guatemala's border with El Salvador and Honduras to help shut off illegal migration north.
51% : Such a facility, which would do nothing to increase border security, was State's counterproposal to Giammattei.
45% : Instead, funds should be channeled to ICE law enforcement agents to locate and detain the national security threats inside the U.S. to prevent potential terror attacks.
41% : A Guatemalan intelligence report stated that 20,522 people from nine "nationalities of interest" for terrorism and drug trafficking - Afghanistan, China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Russia, Syria, Turkey and Yemen - arrived in Guatemala between Jan. 1, 2022, and Aug. 31, 2023.
39% : Congress passed the bill only 15 days later, increasing criminal sentencing from six-to-eight years up to 10-to-30 years, and up to 50 years for aggravated cases.
