Guatemalan Mayan Towns Work To Reverse Emigration And Keep Families Intact [Getty Images]

ALMOLONGA, GUATEMALA - FEBRUARY 11: Maria Isabel Luna, 75, wears an American towel for warmth over her traditional Mayan dress while working at a vegetable market on February 11, 2017 in Almolonga, Guatemala. She said that two of her family members work as immigrant laborers in Los Angeles. The Mayan town in the western highlands district of Quetzaltenango has surged in prosperity in recent years with high-productivity vegetable farming, exporting much of its excess crops to neighborning El Salvador. The town has been called the "Vegetable Basket of the Americas." Many locals attribute the town's change in fortunes to the rapid growth of the Evangelical Christian faith in the area, while others credit the increased use of pesticide farming. Regardless, the strong local economy will be key maintaining the town's prosperity if the Trump Administration follows through on curtailing remittance money sent back from undocumented immigrants in the U.S. to their families in Guatemala.
