Isn’t that a country they’re leaving in droves. What do they get out of the deal?
Hooray!
The New Yorker headlined this piece, "Trump Is Poised to Sign a Radical Agreement to Send Future Asylum Seekers to Guatemala." ...In truth, the New Yorker headline editor is just displaying the usual bias...
Thanks jazusamo.
Partisan Media Shills update.
Well, if I ran Guatemala, Id promise to harbor the illegals as a way to make the US happy. But for practical reasons alone I wouldnt work very hard at it. Maybe just enough to keep up appearances.
Why are we expected to absorb and support all the world’s lazy losers?
Excerpt from New Yorker article linked is this article:
“According to a draft of the agreement obtained by The New Yorker, asylum seekers from any country who either show up at U.S. ports of entry or are apprehended while crossing between ports of entry could be sent to seek asylum in Guatemala instead. During the past year, tens of thousands of migrants, the vast majority of them from Central America, have arrived at the U.S. border seeking asylum each month. By law, the U.S. must give them a chance to bring their claims before authorities, even though theres currently a backlog in the immigration courts of roughly a million cases. The Trump Administration has tried a number of measures to prevent asylum seekers from entering the countryfrom metering at ports of entry to forcing people to wait in Mexicobut, in every case, international obligations held that the U.S. would eventually have to hear their asylum claims. Under this new arrangement, most of these migrants will no longer have a chance to make an asylum claim in the U.S. at all. Were talking about something much bigger than what the term safe third country implies, someone with knowledge of the deal told me. Were talking about a kind of transfer agreement where the U.S. can send any asylum seekers, not just Central Americans, to Guatemala.”
There should be round-the-clocks packed charter/USAF flights taking illegals from detention centers in the USA to Guatemala.
Pay Guatemala whatever it takes to house them temporarily. It won’t be much, because the migrants will soon leave Guatemala and return home, mostly to El Salvador and Honduras. And once word gets out that a trip to the US border equals a trip to Guatemala, the entire flood will slow to a trickle.
Of course Chief Justice Roberts is probably already warming up his open-borders-forever pen on this one.
Sooooo, theyre ALL seeking asylum? Riiiight.
A valid point and believe if this deal is true it would slow asylum seekers from around the world.
I sometimes wonder if there is anyone left in Guatemala, considering their numbers in this area - and they charge $20 per hour for crappy yard work. The last two (the only two) I hired drank booze while spreading bark and ended up rolling on the ground fighting with each other.
What a nightmare, lucky they didn’t decide to fight you. :^)

Great, but “thousands” is not nearly enough.
Excellent. Pres. Trump is working behind the scenes.
Get all those C-47’s out of the bone yards and replicate the Berlin Airlift... Just with a different destination...
Could get the Philippines to run the operation to save landing costs...
Good.
Making little bits of progress here and there finally.
Keep building up that mojo - and don’t quit.
Probably $$$.
Suits me fine because it will still cost us a lot less in the long run.
