Central American Towns Empty as Migrants Rush to U.S. Border

Guatemala’s towns are emptying out as a growing number of migrants head north to accept the Democrat 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 these U.S. government policies is that many villages have empty homes, fatherless families, absent men, and minimal investment.

This massive loss of young people minimizes opposition to the country’s weak government and deters foreign investment in the nation.
