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:
COLOTENANGO, Guatemala—Gloria Velásquez is used to saying goodbye. Four of her six siblings have migrated to the U.S. and she, too, is thinking about heading north with her 9-year-old daughter.
…
Ms. Velásquez said her four siblings in the U.S. are encouraging her to join them. Her daughter Helen Ixchel likes to teach language and mathematics to fellow children. She wants to learn English and become a teacher.
“I’m a bit scared [about going to the U.S.] after hearing all the news about the suffering of migrants at the border. But it’s my daughter’s greatest dream,” Ms. Velásquez said.
This massive loss of young people minimizes opposition to the country’s weak government and deters foreign investment in the nation. Without the promise of foreign investment and new jobs in the nation’s main cities, the next cohort of young men rationally look north for jobs.
“Santa Rosa fits the DHS statistics perfectly,” says a May 17 report from Sara Carter.

Dry up ‘illary !
These people are being ‘bused’ in. WHO is financing this? (rhetorical?) Why hasn’t someone investigated the money involved in this and CUT IT OFF? Freeze assets of those financing this bullsh*t...
You know, THAT is what I’ve been saying. Before it was Mexico but since they are letting this over their southern border we can start there.
Tell them for every 500 people that come to our border, we are taking 500-5,000 miles of your country over. DONE!
Pretty soon, after wiping out the cartels, we would have lots of room, cheap places to put factories etc.
It would be great to ship all asking for asylum to Puerto Rico to wait for their hearing. That way they are much easier to find. Also, didn’t they need help cleaning up?
That’s an invading force.
Buy real estate there?
No, they make it illegal for Americans to buy “their land”
“No! Wait! We elected a president a couple years ago that promised us he was going to fix this!”
Educate yourself! There are existing laws that say the USA MUST accept people asking for asylum! Only Congress can change or make laws. A president cannot!
I cannot believe people like you don’t know this! Google it!!
But the president has the power to prevent them from making it onto US soil. Read the law. It's law passed by Congress giving the POTUS the authority to unilaterally forbid immigrants/invaders entry into America. If they can't make it onto US soil, they can't utter the magic word!
Google it.
8 U.S.C. s 1152(a)(1)
From the above: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."
Congress gave the President the power to forbid entry into the USA of any immigrant according to the above law.
He also has the power to order troops to the border, as he has done. He has ordered troops to the border, but only in a impotent capacity. If he can order ten soldiers, he can order 10,000 soldiers. If he can order 10,000 soldiers, he can order them to be armed and have some teeth. If he can order them armed, he can order air support to protect the border. He has the power as Commander In Chief and the authority granted by Congress to do just that. But he has to do it.
The federal hacks have countermanded some things, but they cannot stop him from performing the above.
I cannot believe people like you don't know this! Google it!
Even Breitbart is calling them migrants. They’re not! They’re a hostile invasion force.
No problem we can build more hospitals, prisons, and schools while bankrupting ourselves so our white-trash politicians can think of themselves as ‘compassionate’...
Very sad. Poor kids. When society allowed ‘gay parenting’ they opened the door to a horror house.
No one is allowed to say this, but it is true.
Great time to buy up Guatemalan land for cheap and build condos. The Trump Organization should form a partnership with Putin and get right on it./s
[ Because he’s not a dictator. ]
Yeah, that and all the obstruction from the Swamp Democrats.
My thoughts exactly. Get a business license down there and buy up everything. Turn the whole place into one giant resort. Turn into an ExPat haven.
COBOLJava .... 100% correct
LouAvul .... 100% wrong
First, they called me a “WASP”.
Then they called me an “Anglo”.
Now, I’m just “White”.
What next? :(
The US packs big yellow boxes with such shirts, and ships the contents to s-hole places like Guatamala.

Congress gave the President the power to forbid entry into the USA of any immigrant according to the above law. Low level federal hacks have countermanded what happens once crimigrants make it onto US soil. POTUS has the authority, and the power, to prevent them from making it onto US soil.
Research the above law. You don't know what you're talking about.
How stupid can you be?
I guess some people are invincibly ignorant. Such are the drunken barflies on FR.
