As President Bush visited Guatemala, he tried to support the rush of deportation that been going out in Latin America. He states that he needs to fix the system because the “impoverish nation” have been seeking opportunities in the United States, legally and illegally. He felt that he needs to change this system by August. Also, he felt that this was a goal for him and the society instead of a deadline. “It was the first time Bush has prodded lawmakers with a time frame since Democrats took over Congress.” This is a time for President Bush to show his effort in the most “domestic initiative” because he only have a few years of presidency. When President Bush visits Guatemala, he was in a tough position because he had to support the “new enforcement actions and expanded barriers along the southern U.S. border.” However, the Latin Americans want President Bush to stop deporting illegal immigrants from United States. The President from Guatemala, Oscar Berger, told Bush about the recent deportation of Guatemala, which disappoints a country. But there was only 10 percent of “its population” traveled north of the Rio Grande. In despite of what President Oscar Berger said, Bush states that they probably don’t want to be send to where they leave, but yet we impose laws. By Bush response, Berger was offended. He says, “The Guatemalan people would have preferred a more clear and positive response -- no more deportations.” Even though, Bush sounded harsh in his response he tried to persuade Latin America with saying “we care about poverty, destitution and social justice.”
