Guatemala safe third country agreement is pretty much dead

A Guatemalan immigration agreement signed with the Trump administration won’t work because the Central American nation does not have the resources, the country’s new president-elect says.
Alejandro Giammattei, a conservative who was chosen overwhelmingly by voters in a weekend runoff election, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that Guatemala is too poor to tend to its own people, let alone those from other countries…
“In order to be a safe country, one has to be certified as such by an international body, and I do not think Guatemala fulfills the requirements to be a third safe country. That definition doesn’t fit us,†said Giammattei, a 63-year-old doctor.

So he's either fishing for dollars, or wants to off load all his country's garbage on us.
I have no problem helping them financially if there is a benefit for us. If that doesn't motivate him maybe stopping all remittances will.

I'm not sure that we can "stop" the remittances.
But we can certainly
tax
them.
Which is what we should be doing right now, anyway, but... are not.

Meh. It's nothing a few Billion dollars of US Taxpayers money can't fix. SSDD.
