Central American Towns Empty As Migrants Rush To U.S. Border Loopholes
Breitbart ^ | 5-21-2019 | Neil Munro

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.

People thought the globalists would try to take over aggressively, not by default.

“But it’s my daughter’s greatest dream”

And our kid’s nightmare. More thugs to overrun the schools who also get preferences in EVERYTHING simply because they’re “hispanic”, which means you outrank any white kid Protestant OR Catholic.

What did the descendants of the Conquistadors do to merit that? Does any nation bestow higher rights on their age old enemies then their own citizens?

My extended family adopted two Guatemala kids.

Seriously messed up and unbelievably lazy kids.

Yeah! And he had the full and open cooperation of the Inside-the-Beltway crowd!

It’s an orchestrated fall of a nation. America has the means and ability to thwart this mess, quickly, but not the political fortitude to implement. A person’s popularity/social status now carries more weight than the offense, therefore, the laws are being systematically eroded and ignored. It’s the end game.

Guatemala should put its country up for bid.

Seriously - offer a 30 year management contract to some other country in exchange for a cut of tax revenues. Someplace like Singapore or the Mitsubishi Corporation could do a fine job. Kind of like contractual colonialism.

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.

You want to see screwed up? Check out that scene. The kids are now late teens. I think the boy is headed to prison, and the girl is obese and suicidal.

[If this is not a foreign invasion, then what is?]

A Democrat voter recruitment drive with their benefits paid by the American taxpayer?

Oh yeah, foreign invasion, too. First and foremost.
