There's a whole host of illegals here, that are here for no other purpose than take an easy ride while the 'getting' is still good.

On that note, Guatemala is a beautiful place, but there are kidnappings, rapes, murders(for watches), and all sorts of other mayhem; it's not uncommon to be on a road, then to have road pirates step out onto the roadway both in front of to slow you down, and also behind you with Ak's.... If you're lucky, they'll only take possessions.

Oh, but wait, the world outside of the States is puppy dogs, and ice cream, where everyone gets along, right?! LOL
