Guatemalan President Otto Perez says the recent influx of illegal immigration to the US from Central American nations is America’s fault.
“Look, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvadore are veritable cesspools,” Perez admitted. “Who wouldn’t want to leave? Compare this to welfare obtainable in the United States if you are poor and you have a strong motivation to try to get there. With President Obama’s open border policies its practically an invitation to make the arduous journey north.”
As an alternative to mass migration, Perez suggested that “more generous foreign aid to our counties in the south could dampen the need for us to export our excess poor. First, if there are meaningful financial rewards for our government officials the incentive to take steps to discourage this traffic will be enhanced. Second, if we distribute a small share of the foreign aid in the form of benefits to our impoverished citizens perhaps they will see less need to try to escape the deploring conditions in our countries.”
“The ball is in your court Mr. Obama,” Perez taunted. “Pay us now or bear the consequences later.”

Aztlan is as Aztlan does.
If Perez wasn’t real careful, he might say that with his outside voice.
Sadly, this seems too close to the truth to really be satire.
