Trump threatens to cut U.S. aid to Honduras over immigrants

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to withdraw funding and aid from Honduras if it does not stop a caravan of people that is heading to the United States.

"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 said on Twitter.

Up to 3,000 migrants crossed from Honduras into Guatemala on Monday on a trek northward, after a standoff with police in riot gear and warnings from Washington that migrants should not try to enter the United States illegally.

The crowd more than doubled in size from Saturday, when some 1,300 people set off from northern Honduras in what has been dubbed "March of the Migrant," an organizer said. The migrants plan to seek refugee status in Mexico or pass through to the United States.

And the old lube hussy has balls to speak of the good president's manhood. President Donald J. Trump has more grit and guts compared to all past so called leaders put together.

Honduras is not the only country I would cut aid to if it were up to me. I would cut aid to every country that the immigrants came through without being stopped. Then I would totally close our southern border and then I would take all of that aid money that I wasn't sending down to the southern countries and I would use it to build the wall. Quickly!!!

Why do they along with everyone else get aid from the American workers. They aren't even satisfied with that, they have to come here to join us at our dinner tables. Might as well, we feed them anyway.
