Breitbart-
Guatemala’s government is asking the U.S. government to let roughly 700,000 Guatemalan migrants stay in the United States because of massive flooding that has killed 150 people in the poor country.
Reuters reported Guatemala’s plan to ask for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for its migrants. If granted, the status would allow Guatemala’s illegal migrants to stay and work in the United States, regardless of the high unemployment and low wages among many unskilled Americans:
“The foreign ministry will, over the course of the week, send the papers to our ambassador in Washington, who will make the request to the U.S. government,” [Guatemalan President Alejandro] Giammattei told reporters.
“We don’t know if President Trump will accept or not but we believe that it is our obligation to request it.”
Guatemala’s government knows that Trump opposes the TPS program and has ordered the cancellation of TPS for hundreds of thousands of migrants who have stayed in the United States for almost two decades. more
The flood waters should recede by the time they walk their happy asses back to where they came from.
I wonder if it ever occurs to these countries, that have so many of their people migrating here, to just fix their own problems and make their countries a place people don’t want to run away from?
Biggest issue with Guatemala is that they collect too few taxes
in their own country. 33% of their exports are to the USA.
They better have put a cover sheet on their TPS report: https://youtu.be/Kg5cdZ-Fnpc
Also, no, just because you have flooding doesn’t mean we have to let them stay here.
Is there no other country in the entire western hemisphere that they can go to? Why always the big bad USA.
We could let them stay, for $ 700,000,000 each. sarcasm
Fuck no!
There needs to be a fast track to citizenship, put these people on the tax rolls. Also if they are working under sh!tty conditions they can complain without fear of deportation.
Many are good workers, they should have a chance.
They also send mass amounts of money back to relatives and the corrupt governments prosper.

For each Guatemalan that comes here they have to take a dozen liberals in return.
@jellybean – and if the libs drown in the flooding, well, win-win!
If we don’t win this election they are going to be a spit in the bucket. The flood gates will be opened at full flow to keep from ever losing another election.
I dread the future.
The request implies/assumes that if they don’t get amnesty every one of the 700,000 will have to return to a flooded flood zone where they will immediately drown.
Nice try, but NO.
Nope. Let them stay in one of the vacant prisons. Feed them until the flood waters recede then ship them back home.
We’re all ready flooded with crooked liberals – so we have our hands full…sorry keep treading water.
Wait, wait wait – you LOST 150, so WE should KEEP 750,000?
WTF kinda deal is that?
Give ’em guns and send them back home to “clean up”.
Fuck Off. Fix your shit hole. Overthrow your own government.
Is no other more local country able to help them?
Maybe one not flooding perhaps.
When I ask for refugee status, I will only accept it from a country with a much higher standard of living a great distance away from my home that I plan on returning to as soon as the waters recede. Haha jk.
700,000??? Was that how many were going to come through Mexico before the election but got turned back?
I’m not up on immigration law, so I have to ask: is any country in the world that suffers flooding, free to send “refugees” to the U.S.? This is really concerning, because isn’t China suffering massive flooding right now?
NO.
Cmn¢¢guy and all those like you
