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.

Surely he can't believe FakeMedia wants America to know this information and would actually report on it.
Probably will happen.
Oh yes, and there are already Germans who claim Poland must take them in because they took the former German areas after the war.
I guess I should not be surprised. Shaking my head.
WTF is our military for? I have been out for some time and had my boots on the ground in other countries and would have no problem going back in to protect OUR border.
But he has proposed kabuki reform to immigration, he is really backing them in a corner on it. That DACA deal shutdown worked wonderfully also.
We have more illegals than any time in our lives... so why is nothing meaningful being done.
That Mexico financed wall is looking good too. No taxpayer wasted money.
Why cant trump’s domestic policies be like his forein policies. It’s like 2 different people.
Wonder who Gloria has in mind to pay for poor Hellen’s education to get her primary education, become fluent with English and to attend a four year college or university to get a teaching degree? Hummm......
Don’t worry, Trump said he’s thinking about maybe invoking the Insurrection Act, possibly. Just after he ends DACA, and that Birthright Citizenship EO...
“No cars. Few people. Two dogs. It was for the most part a ghost town.”
Well it is now!
Lets all move to Guatemala.
It’s gotta be empty by now.....................
PING
...only to be shutdown by democrat judges and tied up in court.
so dry up.
This should not be. Given that it is, though, and assuming the system will not permit it to be fixed, what is an important part of a conservative response.
1. Conservatives must find a way to convert these people to conservatism as quickly as possible. This will benefit them and us whether they stay or return.
2. Find a way to sort the hard working and moral from the freeloaders and criminal. Send only the good ones to red states.
3.
IIRC, legal immigrants are already required to learn English. Make that a rule for any entrant.
Nightmare. How are we going to deport them all?
No, never. They must not be allowed to stay!!!
Democrats and RINOs — it’s not just America that they’re destroying.
True classic.... one of my favs.
that means the criminals the residents are fleeing are also leaving.
