Donald Trump to Honduras: Stop Migrant Caravan or Lose Aid

President Donald Trump threatened to halt federal aid to Honduras on Tuesday in response to a caravan of migrants making its way to the United States to claim asylum.

“The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

The caravan of Hondurans has already crossed into Guatemala, increasing in size as the group grew from 160 to an estimated 2,000 by Monday, according to the Associated Press.

The caravan began traveling from Honduras after Vice President Mike Pence urged the governments of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala to keep their citizens in place.

“Tell your people: Don’t put your families at risk by taking the dangerous journey north to attempt to enter the United States illegally,” he said last week during a speech in Washington, DC.

U.S. law allows migrants fleeing violence to claim asylum at the border.

The group’s next hurdle is to make it across the Mexican border:



President Trump has expressed frustration with Democrats for refusing to reform immigration laws, a critical political issue in the midterm elections.

“We have the dumbest laws in history, and it’s because of the Democrats,” he said on Monday, “because they want to have these laws that way.”

Mexico Vows to Stop Migrant Caravan If It Ignores Immigration Law

Mexico’s immigration authorities vowed to stop members of a migrant caravan consisting of roughly 1,300 individuals from Honduras trying to make their way north, eventually to the U.S. border. Those wanting to enter Mexico will have to follow immigration law or they will be turned back, officials say.

In a prepared statement, the National Immigration Institute (INM) claimed that members of the migrant caravan wanting to enter Mexico would have to request a visa through their consulate and follow immigration law. Those who refuse would be turned back.

Over the weekend, more than 1,300 migrants began an organized caravan in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, publicly claiming that their goal was the U.S. Border, Breitbart Texas reported. The caravan was apparently organized through social media and started on Saturday. By Monday, the group already entered Guatemala as they made their way toward the border with Mexico. The statements made by group members point to a lack of jobs and violence in Honduras as their reason to head north.

Most recently, President Donald Trump tweeted the federal government informed Honduras that if the caravan was not stopped reversed, the U.S. would stop all foreign aid to the nation.
