The United States "doesn't have the luxury" of deporting millions of undocumented migrants as President-elect Donald Trump has threatened, Guatemala's president argued Monday.
"Economically, the United States doesn't have the luxury of throwing out 12 million inhabitants or people who are on its territory without papers given that they produce, consume and contribute to GDP growth in that country," President Jimmy Morales told Guatemalan radio station Emisoras Unidas.
"The United States is a very institutional country where the executive branch isn't the only one to take decisions," he said. "The Congress and Senate have a lot of power."
Official figures estimate there are around 1.5 million Guatemalans living in the United States, but that fewer than a third of them have legal residency.
Those migrants sent back more than $7 billion to Guatemala last year in remittances.....snip~

Uhm look here Jimminy Cricket.....if your government wasn't so corrupt. They wouldn't be leaving your country in the first place.
But thanks for validating why you don't do anything to stop them. As you need that money coming in so you can pad your mattress.
