Migrants from caravan give U.S. ultimatum: Let them in or give them each $50,000

Some migrants from the Caravan are demanding that the US government let them in or pay them each $50,000 to go home.

Migrants from Central America marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana in two groups, and one group of around 100, had a list of demands.

Other demands included having deportations halted, and to allow asylum seekers to be processed faster and in larger numbers according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The group also apparently expressed criticism over US intervention in Central America in a letter.

Right now, Newsweek reports asylum officers are considering around 40 to 100 claims per day.

The second group of around only 50 migrants asked for the asylum process to be sped up to around 300 claims per day.

An organizer from Honduras told the paper, "it may seem like a lot of money to you...But it is a small sum compared to everything that the United States has stolen from Honduras."

Fox News reports around 700 out of the 6,000 migrants that arrived in Tijuana have already returned home, while 300 have been deported.

While one Caravan member told officials that 2,500 have applied for humanitarian visas in Mexico, the Union-Tribune reported others have either crossed into the U.S. illegally, moved to other parts of Mexico or slipped through the cracks.
