Guatemalan president says he's had no direct contact with White House since border czar Kamala Harris' June meeting

But now she has a new omelet pan!
[FoxNews] Alejandro Giammattei says US appears more interested in new left-wing president-elect of Honduras.

Giammattei said that there is "much to be done" to fix the migration crisis affecting both nations, as Guatemalans flee, often illegally, into the United States.

On Harris' stated focus on "root causes" of migration in Central America, Giammattei suggested on "America Reports" that the crisis is not a single-faceted issue.

"First of all, migration can’t be stopped on the basis of circumstantial causes. It needs to be stopped on the basis of structural causes," he said, pointing to the drug cartels that are largely in Mexico who also smuggle Guatemalans and other humans into the U.S.

"It’s a big business to run trafficking-person schemes. It’s a $4 billion business for these criminals. And therefore we need to address structural causes," Giammattei added.

Giammattei recalled telling Harris that as a former prosecutor in California, she likely understands the U.S. criminal code can be strengthened to better eradicate the problems.

He told Roberts that the federal government could better enforce and strengthen federal crime statutes against coyotes or the individual human traffickers themselves.

"Then the U.S. can ask us to expand our extradition conditions -- and with that, these coyotes would land in a federal prison with very severe penalties. This is something that drug traffickers fear," Giammattei said.

#3 I’m not sure what differentiates an omelette pan from other small, fast-heating pans, but the nice people at Cooks Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen recommend Matfer Bourgeat’s Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan. It is a French brand, but can be ordered inexpensively from Amazon. They prefer the hand-forged pans from Blu Skillet Ironware, but their stuff sells out as fast as it’s made despite costing six times as much.
