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.

Good think we’re fighting FOUR wars, right..?
Oh, and have $23 trillion in debt.
Oh, and all our statues are getting torn down.
The first step to improving things is to start fighting the ONE war that really DOES belong to us.
And has belonged to us for...50 years or more:
To SECURE OUR BORDER.
The Republicans want the cheap labor these people bring and the Democrats want the votes. So Congress has little motivation to stop open borders.
No! Wait! We elected a president a couple years ago that promised us he was going to fix this!Oh lucky you. You found a way to knock the president...
Unfortunately for you, you exposed your total ignorance in your attempt.
[Please don’t disparage the fine countries these people are abandoning.]
True. It’s especially great when they bring the flag of the country they are abandoning, err escaping.
“I’m Honduran! Proud to be Honduran! Here is my Honduran flag! However, I couldn’t wait to get out of Honduras! But only because Honduras is a great country!” (example)
Grey = there's nothing
Yellow = you can STEP over it
The border is 1,500 miles long. Trump has promised 500 miles of fence --that's 33%.
Hey, that's a yuge improvement, but 33% ain't gonna do it, and that's if we even GET those 500 miles.
“low-wage jobs”
$15/hour in and around NYC

[ I’ll go one better - I know two “married” men who adopted two Guatemalan kids. When these gay men eventually split up, Dad #1 kept the kids, but has had a parade of new boyfriends through the house over the last 10 years or so. ]
Oh now that can’t be true. Ellen says gay marriages are wonderful and so does Mayor Pete ButtaGoGo.
[A guy with a CrossFit membership is a desperate refugee? What, he can’t afford a Gold’s Gym membership?]
It’s almost like Marxism/Socialism/Communism fails in every single country.
Wow. Imagine that.
I couldn’t read his shirt right off. Good catch.
“We elected a president a couple years ago that promised us he was going to fix this!”
And he only has lied about 10,000 more times.
Trump hasn’t even requested that the US denounce the Refugee Convention that ensures these people get maximum welfare benefits and expedited and low-cost citizenship processing.
8 U.S.C. s 1152(a)(1)
"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. 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.
Unfortunately for you, you exposed your total ignorance in your attempt.
It’s a fully orchestrated mass re-population of 3rd worlders into economically stable western countries according to the agenda of the Global Elites and UN Agenda, this we’re seeing is the plan for North and South America.
Angela Merkel: “Trump Has Almost Destroyed The ‘New World Order”....They don’t even hide their agenda anymore.
Here a suggestion: How about US troops leave the Mideast, Europe and Eastern Europe, let them fend for themselves or so what, and our troops take over those Central American countries everyone is leaving?
[It’s a fully orchestrated mass re-population of 3rd worlders into economically stable western countries according to the agenda of the Global Elites and UN Agenda, this we’re seeing is the plan for North and South America.]
Indeed it is. At one time, that might have sounded like a tinfoil nut-job conspiracy. A lot of people in the West are still in denial, though.
[Angela Merkel: “Trump Has Almost Destroyed The ‘New World Order”....They don’t even hide their agenda anymore.]
Angela is still a goose-stepping Commie. She has no problems destroying Germany. Especially what was once Western Germany.
Bookmarked, thanks!
Good place for old white liberals to retire.
Sounds like a good time to invade, take over, send the remaining folks to Mexico and declare Pirate Nation.
Build condos and bars, Spring Break specials.
No! Wait! We elected a president a couple years ago that promised us he was going to fix this!
A couple years? We elected GOP to Congress for 30 YEARS who have lied to us about wanting a secure border. At least we can count on GOP Senators to hand out Teddy Bears on the border, though.
What’s funny will be when the Volksdeutsche beg the Poles to take them in.
