He's threatening to join Hugo Chavez if we don't let his illegal aliens in. All I can say is: Feel free.

[Redleg Duke]

Hey, Guatemala...blow it out your MS13!

[yarddog]

Well it is meant as an insult. You deserve to be insulted and more.

[Sonny M]

If he thinks the wall is an insult, he should trying talking to the American people and see what they think, then he'll see real insults.

[Dog Gone]

No, don't feel free. The merits of the wall or lack thereof aside, we don't want Central America to slip into the clutches of Chavez and Castro.

We've already seen what that can do.

[RightWhale]

They treat us as if we were a sub-hemisphere of criminals," Stein told reporters.

Not at all. More like a collection of failed and failing states.

[Ben Mugged]

passing tough laws that criminalize the search for better economic opportunities

He already sounds like a socialist.

[axes_of_weezles]

I propose we use illegal alien Guatemalans to build the wall, using Joe Arpaio type tent cities. /Sarcasm

[andyk]

a government calling itself a friend and partner in the region only wants our money and our goods, but sees our people as if they were an epidemic.

Yes, trading us for goods is so awful, and yet your country continues to do it. It's got nothing to do with "your" people. It has evertying to do with people who enter this country illegally, on a daily basis.

[RegulatorCountry]

This genius just can't figure out that the real insult is coming from his own people, voting with their feet. So he rants against a "wall" that is not even on the border of his country. I smell a socialist. Nobody else would conflate cause and effect, and interpret their own ignorance as an insult.

[Congressman Billybob]

There are two things wrong with this statement from Guatemala. One is that all the people who are sneaking across the US Mexican border ARE criminals. The other is that Mexico uses its army to guard its southern border to prevent the likes of the Guatemalans from getting in.

So, if Guatemalans want to sneak into the US, their first objection is to the Mexicans, not us. What a pack of maroons.

Should we care what the Guatemalan Vice President says?

This guy is less significant the the Prime Minister of Canuckistan. (Apologies to right thinking Canadians.)

[McGavin999]

Keep your darned goods. We'll just pull investment out of South and Central America and call it a day. Go ahead a join Chavez, have fun living under tyranny.

[DumpsterDiver]

"We take it as a total insult to all Latin America that a government calling itself a friend and partner in the region only wants our money and our goods, but sees our people as if they were an epidemic. They treat us as if we were a sub-hemisphere of criminals," Stein told reporters.

"We take it as a total insult..." Good! And I take it as a total insult everytime one of your citizens hops that border.

What are there, maybe 4 people in Latin America who are capable of wrapping their brains around the concept of the rule of law?

[rockabyebaby]

Hey Guatamala, shove it! We're tired of ILLEGALS destroying our country, get over yourselves.

[King Prout]

guatemala - an insult to the world at large.

[sporkgoddess]

It's so cute when they make threats like this

[crazyhorse691]

Sounds like some ruling elitists are starting to worry about the possibility of having to confront their broken economies. And I won't even start on their wonderful models of government efficiency.

[Windcatcher]

Hey Guatemala...if you want to enter our great land, then you can do what MY PARENTS did...apply legally. And if you think I'm mad about the flood coming across our border, you should talk to my relatives who were naturalized. They're positively P*SSED.

[junta]

They think their citizens are sub-humans.

[dalereed]

"but sees our people as if they were an epidemic. They treat us as if we were a sub-hemisphere of criminals"

It took you long enough to figure it out!
