72 hours to answer: migrants trumped ultimatum

On Tuesday, two groups of migrants from Central America went to the US consulate in Tijuana with a list of requirements, and one group issued an ultimatum to the Trump administration: either let them in the US, or pay $ 50 000 to everyone so they can go home.

Among other requirements was that the government stop the deportation, and the cases of those seeking asylum were handled faster and in a second.оMore quantity, writes Fox News.

The first caravan group, consisting of a 100 man, arrived at the consulate around 11 in the morning.

Alfonso Gerreo Ulloa, the organizer from Honduras, said that the number in 50 000 dollars was chosen by the group members.

“You might think that’s a lot of money,” Ulloa said. “But this is a small amount compared to everything that the United States stole from Honduras.”

He said that money will allow migrants to return home and start a small business.

The authors of the letter criticized the US intervention in Central America, and also asked the United States to remove the President of Honduras Orlando Hernandez from office. They gave the consulate 72 an hour to respond.

At 13: 20, the consulate received a letter from the second group of about 50 migrants asking them to speed up the asylum process and allow asylum-seekers to enter 300 every day at the port of entry into San Isidro / San Diego. Currently taking from 40 to 100 people.

“Meanwhile, the families, women and children who fled our countries continue to suffer, and Tijuana’s civil society remains forced to confront this humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis caused in large part by decades of US intervention in Central America,” the letter said.

According to Sochtilla Castillo, a member of the caravan who met with Mexican officials on Tuesday, from about 6000 migrants who traveled from Central America to Tijuana, about 700 returned to their homeland, 300 were deported and 2500 applied for a humanitarian visa to Mexico.

According to the Union-Tribune, others either entered the United States illegally or moved to other parts of Mexico.

“A lot of people are leaving because there is no way out,” said Douglas Matute, 38, of Tijuana. “We thought they would let us in.” But Trump sent the military instead of social workers.”

To get to this border town, many migrants traveled more than four thousand kilometers. They claim that they fled from persecution, poverty and violence in their countries. This is mainly Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
