A piece from Fox this morning...

Two groups of Central American migrants marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday with a list of demands, with one group delivering an ultimatum to the Trump administration: either let them in the U.S. or pay them $50,000 each to go home, a report said.

Among other demands were that deportations be halted and that asylum seekers be processed faster and in greater numbers, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.


The first group of caravan members, that included about 100 migrants, arrived at the consulate around 11 a.m. Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa, an organizer from Honduras, said the $50,000 figure was chosen as a group.

“It may seem like a lot of money to you,” Ulloa told the paper. “But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras.”

They also demanded the US get rid of the Honduran president, and gave us 72 hours to respond. Im not certain what will happen if we miss the deadline.

These people have no pride. Go home, get rid of your own President, create your own country and try to be free. We’re not gonna respect you if you don’t respect yourself.

Even IF the US 'stole' form Honduras, I wonder how many tens of millions in aid we've given that nation over the years.

That has to be fake news, too absurd to be true. Talk about a sense of entitlement!

What amazes me is how the msm just SHUT DOWN TOTALLY, any news on this caravan. Once we found out they all were coming for economic reasons, many were deported criminals, gang members, child molesters, the msm just shut it down because it no longer fit the narrative and really made the dems look foolish to be blocking the wall funding.

Ill hand it to Trump, he used the media and played them like a fiddle to roast nancy and hank.

A letter from the group criticized U.S. intervention in Central America and asked the U.S. to remove Honduran President Orlando Hernandez from office. They gave the consulate 72 hours to respond.


Stop intervening and please intervene.

We are a villain country. We have “stolen” from Honduras.

Yet they are begging to come to the US?

So they're actually accusing the rich guy strolling down the sidewalk of stealing the homeless guy's bottle of Strawberry Hill and taking the last swig from the bottle?

Now here is a guy with a deep and thorough understanding of US dealings with Latin America over the past 150 years or so.

I think they’re referring to that time when the United fruit company owned Honduras.

Again, not our damn problem.

So you're mad that the U.S. has "stolen" from you yet want us to just remove your president somehow?

I would counter with “You can go home with nothing or you can get a bullet between the eyes.”

Or how about we give them a nice post card of various places in the US and send them back?

Then they can tell their friends they made it but wanted to come home
