Guatemala also concerned about US treatment of its illegal migrants

Mercopress:
"'Just so you know, when we enforce the law we do so in a fair and rational way,' he [President Bush] said [at a joint news conference with Guatemalan president Oscar Berger]. 'People are welcome, but under the law.' He tried to dispel suspicions, high here, that application of the law in the United States can be cruel and discriminatory."

I guess it might have been poor form while in Guatemala City, and just before moving on to a meeting with Mexico's president in Yucatan, to point out that US treatment of illegal aliens from Guatemala is much better than the reception they get if they are caught in Mexico.

The story points out that there are hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans illegally in the US and only 18,000 have been deported over the last 15 months. That doesn't sound to me like our enforcement efforts are too vigorous.
