The dangerously porous nature of the Belize-Guatemala border along with the continued infiltration of Guatemalans into Belizean territory continues to be a matter of major national concern, particularly at Jalacte, Toledo, which has come to be known as an informal “port-of-entry” for Guatemalans coming into Belize—some of them for work, but others feared to be coming for not-so-legitimate purposes.

Snippet(s):
"Official sources tell our newspaper that an “intelligence driven” operation in the South last week resulted in a major bust of 33 illegal aliens—mostly Guatemalans—as they were being bused into Belizean territory, without proper documentation. Multiple sources tell us that the Guatemalans were not charged, but deported back to their country."

"Amandala was able to confirm with police sources that 33 illegal immigrants, who we are told came through Jalacte, Toledo, were processed in Independence last week. There were two Salvadorans who were charged for illegal entry, but the remaining people, all Guatemalans, were deported after being given an OTL – Order to Leave."
