I also want to say that for more than 70 years we have had only right wingers or right wing populists that have destroyed the country with an oligarchy that is predatory to all of us. The way they talk, act and grift is no different from what we are seeing in Washington now.

As a Guatemalan/American myself. I want to point that this is outrageous. But the Guatemalan government and country have failed them. Guatemala has its own Jim Crow laws which forced so many to seek refuge in other countries. My heart is with the kids. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
