Some Guatemalans Loaf in U.S. Cash Flow
Another one of those perfect stories which only strengthens the position that amnesty is ridiculous. If not solely due to a need to enforce the rule of law, the money game that is immigration scoffs at the hypocrisy of altruism in the melting pot. Perhaps the 200 per month refused by young Guatemalans would be seen differently when compared to the cost of living in the country where it is offered. Again, the question of what is Mexico or Guatemala or other countries doing to solve their own problems and reduce the flow of traffic to the US? The answer is most likely their governments are no more responsive than ours to the will of the citizens.
The US may some day be just like the countries from which the illegals now flow. That’s right. Continuing to allow the bleeding hearts and paid for politicians to allow some to get rich at the expense of everyone else will damage this nation. We again urge the public to flood Congressional and White House offices with phone calls and email or snail mail until they understand what is needed. 2 out of 3 Americans want illegals deported. Secure the borders and severely punish employers and this problem will fix itself.

Some Guatemalans Loaf in U.S. Cash Flow
By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA
SALCAJA, Guatemala - Working and going to school have become optional in this highland Guatemalan town, thanks to a flood of U.S. dollars sent home by migrants living in the United States.
The family-run mills that produce brightly colored, hand-woven traditional fabrics have fallen quiet as their potential work force _ mostly young men _ hang out at the town’s pool halls or video game salons, living off remittances and waiting to make their own journeys north.
