Guatemala’s towns are emptying out as a growing number of migrants head north to accept the Democratic Party’s offer of open-border loopholes and low-wage jobs, say a growing number of local reports.
Roughly one percent of Guatemala’s population has migrated to the United States’ border since September 2018, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That adds up to roughly 170,000 migrants, and roughly one-third of those migrants come from the neighboring rural districts of Huehuetenango and San Marcos.
The result of this U.S. government policies is that many villages are with empty homes, fatherless families, absent men, and minimal investment. The Wall Street Journal reported:

We don’t seem to be winning this particular situation.
Why won’t Trump stop this?
Because he's not a dictator.
It’s probably been tried already.
This has all happened before and
it will all happen again. So say we all.
“.only to be shutdown by democrat judges and tied up in court.
so dry up.”
Nothing but lame excuses for not getting the job done. POTUS has the power and the right to stop the invasion but he doesn’t do it, which leaves normal people thinking that he doesn’t want to.
LOL, but I think now, a lot more conservatives would support it.
why can’t we stop them?.....what is going on?
In the old days, they’d just
put everybody on the Dole.
An attack on the Reagan Era, it actually foretold Leftists in many ways.
I wonder if there is a Real Estate opportunity in the works here....likely not in the better places like Costa Rica....
CrossFit is around quadruple the cost.
Sure glad we got our border(s) secured....../sarc
Great flick.
No, it is just a bunch of migrants like the fairy tale story says it is.
Yep. Ya gotta love Rowdy Roddy Piper.
But, but it was (is) a national emergency......oh wait!!!!!
These "poor people" seem awfully well clothed (and fed). New clothes and sleeping bags?
