Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei criticized the Biden administration for unclear messaging on immigration, which he said has contributed to the border surge.

“You can see that humanitarian messages were used here by the ‘coyotes’ in a distorted manner,” Giammattei told Fox News. “Coyote” is a slang term for human smugglers.
