Vice President Kamala Harris has been tasked by President Joe Biden to work with El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico to address the root causes of migration. Furthermore, a CAP study shows there is empirical evidence that TPS is not a driver of irregular migration to the United States. This is about 14 percent of the 1.4 million foreign-born Salvadorans and 8 percent of the 745,838 foreign-born Hondurans in the United States. Jesus Perlera, for example, supported his mother in El Salvador even when his income decreased due to the pandemic. ConclusionThe Biden-Harris administration has rightly renewed the United States’ commitment to tackle the root and acute causes of migration, especially in Central American countries.
