US embassy cable - 04GUATEMALA2390

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: PRESIDENT BUSH'S REPLY TO PRESIDENT BERGER ON 
DEPORTATIONS 
 
REF: STATE 199611 
 
Classified By: Ambassador John Hamilton for reasons 1.5 (b) & (d). 
 
1. (U) The Ambassador is seeking an appointment with 
President Berger to carry out ref instructions.  In the 
interim, the Ambassador took advantage of a previously 
scheduled meeting September 16 to provide Guatemalan FM Briz 
an advance brief, given that he and President Berger are 
leaving September 18 for the UNGA. 
 
2. (C) In the thorough discussion of migration issues that 
followed, Briz accepted the statistics showing that 
deportations had actually decreased from the previous year, 
that the U.S. was not singling out Guatemalan citizens for 
deportation, and that U.S. immigration policy was not 
unreasonable.
