When asked if border walls work at preventing illegal immigration, the president of Guatemala said claimed that 'they don't' in a recent interview.

Guatemala President Bernardo Arévalo claimed border walls do not work in preventing illegal immigration in a new interview. 'Do you think border walls work?' CBS' Ed O'Keefe asked Arévalo in an interview that aired Wednesday. 'I think that history shows they don't,' Arévalo said. 'What we need to look for is integrated solutions to a problem that is far more complex than just putting a wall to try to contain,' he added.

MEXICAN PRESIDENT SAYS THE 'FLOW OF MIGRANTS WILL CONTINUE' UNLESS THE US MEETS HIS DEMANDS Vice President Kamala Harris met with Arévalo Monday to discuss 'legal pathways' to migration. The pair is expected to focus on expanding 'legal pathways' to migration, including the use of 'safe mobility offices.
