    MEXICO CITY (AP) — Guatemala’s new president urged Mexico on Thursday to boost commercial ties between the neighboring nations, arguing that creating more work opportunities is crucial for reducing migration northward toward the United States.


    Speaking at the Senate in Mexico City, Alejandro Giammattei said Mexico accounts for just 4% of his country’s international commerce and there is room aplenty for that to grow.


    He also lobbied for encouraging tourism to Mayan archaeological sites in both nations and displayed agreement with his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on the need to work together to develop the region of their shared border and build what Giammattei called “walls of prosperity” to reduce pressure driving migration.


    “Our citizens are not deterred by (physical) walls, by laws, by fear,” he told senators during his first visit to Mexico. “The only thing that stops them is security, dignified work and a promising future.”


    Giammattei took office Jan. 14.


    His predecessor, Jimmy Morales, struck an agreement with Washington last July to accept asylum-seekers sent there by the United States.


    The deal went into effect in November, when Giammattei was still president-elect, and as of Feb. 4 the United States has sent 414 Hondurans and Salvadorans to Guatemala.


    The vast majority of those then returned to their own countries rather than try for asylum in Guatemala.

    It is WAY past time these countries start taking responsibility for their own country and the welfare of THEIR citizens.

    Put your gangs in prisons! Get on birth control, and get yourself out of poverty and crime! Those two initiatives will make a world of difference and can be done immediately.

    They have land, they have resources, they have beautiful beaches.

    They need to invest in Tourism without our tax dollars. Not one more dime of our money!

    Get investors, get Soros money, get Bloomberg money. They throw their money down the toilet creating havoc all over the world. Go put your money down in Southern Mexico and Central America instead and turn that country around.

    Thousands of Snowbirds and RV'ers will go down there if it is safe. Thousands will retire there if it is safe. Now get it done!
