Kamala Harris announces $2 billion Central America investment amid migration crisis

Wa Ex:

Private-sector corporations will invest $2 billion into northern Central America under a Biden administration initiative meant to improve economic conditions in the region amid mass migration to Mexico and the United States.

Vice President Kamala Harris announced Tuesday morning that 10 new companies have pledged to pour more than $1.9 billion in investments into El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Companies and nonprofit organizations, including Gap, Visa, Coatl, and AgroAmerica, were among the newest batch of government partners.

“These, we think, are pretty sizable direct investments in economies the size of the three countries in question, and they will be responsible for creating tens of thousands of jobs,” a senior administration official said in a call with reporters Monday evening.

Clothing company Gap will increase its sourcing of materials from Central America to $50 million per year with an intention to surpass $150 million by 2025, according to a White House statement. It estimated that 5,000 additional jobs will be created in the region. Financial service company Visa will pour in $270 million over the next five years toward bringing people and small- and medium-sized businesses into the global financial system. more

  6. How much gets funneled back to the DNC or maybe even the big guy? Dems don’t just give money away even if it is taxpayer money. A portion has to get funneled back through the various laundering operations they have in place.
