Guatemalas towns are emptying out as a growing number of migrants head north to accept the Democratic Partys offer of open-border loopholes and low-wage jobs, say a growing number of local reports.
Roughly one percent of Guatemalas 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, GuatemalaGloria 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.
Im a bit scared [about going to the U.S.] after hearing all the news about the suffering of migrants at the border. But its my daughters greatest dream, Ms. Velásquez said.
This massive loss of young people minimizes opposition to the countrys weak government and deters foreign investment in the nation. Without the promise of foreign investment and new jobs in the nations 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.

Stopping this will only come from our society deciding to make them feel very unwelcome. Anyone have the stomach for it? Didn’t think so. Our grandparents (parents for this board) would have handled this much differently.
Strip-mining people out of Guatemala.
Sorry, it’s one of the things I hate about capitalism.
