Why the people in Guatemala want to cross the U.S border?

Because they're losers that don't have a clue as to how to address their own problems in their own country. Basically they just want a hand out and not really have anything of value to offer in return.

It's just the ones that live in parts where there is poverty in the area. They take pride in their country but they come here in hopes for a better life and the ones that choose to come actually come here to work then go back to their country. The country is such a breath taking and beautiful place but there's just some areas where there is poverty just like any other location.

Logically it doesn't make sense, stop and think about it. You live in a beautiful geographical area of the world with friends and/or family and have the opportunity to create the lifestyle you desire. The people coming to the US must have visions of living a good life without having to work. If they perceive living off of Gov. handouts a "good life" then there is no real future for them anywhere they end up.

Handouts, Welfare, Section 8 and to breed kids they can't afford to feed.

Better opportunities and less crime.

they + the other ones from who-knows-where have not been told that there's no work in the US like there was years ago

So the democrats give them your money.

To join the flourishing, welcoming egalitarian meritocracy that is the United States.

freedom, new life
