Root Causes Strategy (RCS) or U.S. Strategy to Address the Root Causes of Migration in Central America is a federal government/private sector approach to address the root causes of illegal immigration into the United States from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras (collectively called the Northern Triangle of Central America).
The strategy was initiated on February 2, 2021 when President Biden signed an Executive Order that called for the development of this plan. The plan, led by Vice President Harris, consists of private sector investment into the Northern Triangle countries in order to develop the region and curb illegal immigration into the U.S..
