entral American asylum seekers in Mexican border town Tijuana reportedly marched to the U.S. Consulate on Tuesday to present the Trump administration with an ultimatum: Let us into the country or give us $50,000 each to turn back home.
The demand came a month after asylum seekers began to arrive in Tijuana. Many still face weeks, if not months, of waiting in the border town before their asylum claims can be processed.

Asylum seekers showed up at the consulate in two groups, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune, with one of the groups—made up of roughly 100 people—delivering the $50,000 demand.
Asked how the asylum seekers came up with the figure, organizer Alfonso Guerrero Ulloa of Honduras told the newspaper that while "it may seem like a lot of money to you...it is a small sum compared to everything that the United States has stolen from Honduras."

It is a war and the President has the authority to protect the United States against war. If he doesn't stop this invasion it is going to continue because they want what they believe we owe them. They are invading and we should consider it war. They will keep coming.
