Yalambojoch Mayor Francisco Pais, Vice Mayor Pedro Garcia, and every villager interviewed told CIS that violent crime there is nonexistent. They maintained that government persecution hasn’t occurred since the country’s civil war ended in the 1990s, an assertion generally corroborated in a 2016 Washington Post article.

Here’s what is happening: Rural Guatemalans, typically with children to gain easier entry to the U.S., are headed north to earn money to send back south. “People see other people building the pretty houses here, so they want to go, too. They work for four or five years and then they come back and live in them,” Mayor Pais relates.

Good for them.

Freedom of movement is a natural right.

It's also a natural RESPONSIBILITY of parents to educate, provide healthcare for and FEED their kids.... and these Guatemalans exercising their NATURAL RIGHT (as you call it) most certainly do not take their RESPONSIBILITIES for those things when they get to the US. Instead, the tax payer foots the bill.


So, as long as migrants want to jump on American tax payer funded programs upon arrival to the US, then they have to deal with their being a BORDER, a PROCESS, and LAWS regarding immigration.



So, too bad, so sad. Vaya con dios back to Guatemala.

Huh? Tell that to the governments of the whole world for foreigners to migrate to their countries without their permission and see how far you get!

You have no right to move into or through someone else's property without permission.
