91.1% of Guatemalans Migrate to the U.S. for Economic Reasons

Fewer than 1% leave because of violence or gangs.

Last month, the Guatemalan government participated in the "Encounter with Migrants 2017", an event that aims to bring the Guatemalan migrant community in the United States and Guatemalan entrepreneurs closer together in order to promote investment, boost productivity of remittances, and curb emigration. During the event, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Martínez noted that the majority of Guatemalans migrate to the United States for better economic opportunities.

According to the "Survey on International Migration of Guatemalans and Remittances 2016", by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 91.1 percent of Guatemalans emigrate to the United States for economic reasons. Per the report, 56.8 percent of Guatemalans migrate in search of better employment, 32.9 percent to improve their income, 1.2 percent to buy a home, and 0.1 percent to open businesses. (These add up to only 91 percent, though the survey report says 91.1 percent, presumably due to rounding.) Moreover, IOM found that...

When you are overseas (military and dependents), this song represents the entire USA, or where you are from in the USA. It is an anthem that has a deep spiritual meaning, love of country, patriotism, and the longing to be back home where you belong.

Kamikaze pilot Ryōji Uehara on the wing and next to the tail of a Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien. He was a member of the 56th Shinmu squadron (第56振武隊) of the IJA Air Corps when he carried out his final mission against the US carrier fleet near Kadena, Okinawa Prefecture on 11 May 1945. He was 22 years old. 

His letter, written to his parents the night before his final mission, was published after the war and it is still regarded as a masterpiece of wartime literary works in Japan.

‘The president nailed it!’ One Fox & Friends host has the courage to praise Trump for not taking sides

Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth defended President Trump when he got attacked for condemning violence by ALL SIDES following the Charlottesville, Virginia, incident.

“I think the president nailed it,” Hegseth said (video below). “He condemned in the strongest possible terms hatred and bigotry on all sides, as opposed to immediately picking a side out the gate.”

Amazingly, liberal media then trashed Hegseth — a Bronze star Army vet who risked his life for his country from 2003 to 2014 — as a white supremacist for defending the president of the United States. It’s safe to assume that few of Hegseth’s critics have done even a fraction of what he has to protect the rights of crybaby liberals to virtue-signal and whine.

Leftists attacked Pete Hegseth, a decorated Army vet, for defending his commander-in-chief. Are they high? (Images: screengrabs)

Here’s how the lunacy unfolded: Liberal media and their moonbat sheeple slammed Trump for not immediately condemning white supremacists by name when he called for an end to ALL violence, by both the right and the left.

Keep in mind that former president Obama still refuses to utter the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” and the media say nothing.

President Trump has repeatedly disavowed and condemned the alt-right, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists. He has also repeatedly condemned the KKK — the racist hate group started by the Democratic Party.

At the time the president made his initial statement, the facts were still not in about who had started the fighting at Charlottesville. Early reports suggest the rally — which was held Friday night — was peaceful until the alt-left antifa came on Saturday morning and started...

Traitor McMaster ‘Detonated’ Over Memo that Warned of Political Warfare Effort Against Trump

National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster fired National Security Council staffer Rich Higgins over an esoteric memo that warned about “deep state” actors including “globalists, bankers, Islamists, and establishment Republicans” seeking to destroy the president, according to a copy obtained by Breitbart News and published below.

The memo says the administration is suffering under “withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then delegitimize and ultimately remove the President.” It also said there is a mindset within the White House inadequate to the threat.

“This is not politics as usual but rather political warfare at an unprecedented level that is openly engaged in the direct targeting of a seated president through manipulation of the news cycle. It must be recognized on its own terms so that immediate action can be taken,” it said.

The seven-page memo at times takes on an academic-like tone. Higgins, a former Army explosive specialist, Justice Department consultant, and Pentagon official, had also taught as a professor at the National War College, according to a Daily Caller interview last year.

But McMaster allegedly “detonated” after he got ahold of the memo, a source close to Higgins told Breitbart.

Although the memo never mentions McMaster or others in the White House, it says, “many close to the president have pushed him off his message when he was candidate Trump thus alienating him from his base thereby isolating him in the process.”

“When President Trump is not candidate Trump, he becomes....
