    Migrant group demand Trump either let them in or pay them each $50G to turn around

    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.”

    He said the money would allow the migrants to return home and start a small business.

    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.

  2. You want fries with that?
     
  3. 50K is a deal. We should wish it was so easy. Problem is they won't go back whatever the case.
     
  4. I wonder if the number of arrivals would increase or decrease if you gave them all 50k.
    :cool:

    Great little business shaping up for the mexicans once they arrive on mexican soil. Load up the bus bring em up. Get your cut of the 50k and then drive them back. Rinse and repeat.
     
  5. Like I said, 50K would be a bargain. Here's a report on the horror, the absolute horror I tell you that these illegals are enduring once they arrive.
