“Alfonso Guerrero Ulloa, who organized a migrant march on the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana this week, was the primary suspect in a 1987 bombing that injured six U.S. troops in Honduras, The Daily Caller reported Wednesday.”


Do we pay him only $100,000 - or should he get $700,000 as a bonus for each American servicemember he wounded to show us that we are the Great Gringo Trash?

Alfonso Guerrero Ulloa, the unofficial spokesperson of a group of Honduran migrants who caused an uproar by suggesting the U.S. pay $50,000 to each person who returns home, hasn’t set foot in Honduras in more than three decades.

He left his birthplace in 1987, after being accused of planting a bomb in a Chinese restaurant that injured six U.S. soldiers in Honduras. Guerrero claimed the charges were false and, despite protests from the U.S. government, Mexico offered him political asylum.
...
As soon as he joined the caravan, Guerrero clashed with organizers who wanted to keep politics out of what they described as a humanitarian movement. But Guerrero persisted. He says a small group of migrants joined his cause and the group slowly grew over time.

...
In 1987, Guerrero created tension between the Mexican and U.S. governments after a bomb exploded in the China Palace near the largest U.S. military base in Honduras, Six U.S. soldiers and a Honduran civilian were injured. The man who confessed to taking part in the bombing and who implicated Guerrero later said he had been tortured by the military into making a false confession, which brought renewed scrutiny into the human rights record of Honduras. Mexico diplomats called him a “freedom fighter” and granted him permanent asylum. The U.S. protested, calling him a “terrorist.”

About 10 months ago, Guerrero started an online petition asking the U.S. to exonerate him.

Still the same for me. It's weird.

And yup. I'm pleasantly surprised.

However, take note. 41 people still saw this and thought that it's okay to continue the Yemen war. That it's okay to continue a war that's already starved 85,000 children, is making millions of others begin to starve. That we should still support our ally that killed a journalist in their fight against Yemen, even though they've made themselves clear to be as bad as the supposed enemies we need Saudi Arabia's alliance for. And likely all of this comes down to the fact they want to continue their money from the arms deals because in the end, that money is more important than millions of peoples livelihoods. This also includes oil most likely. Literally blood money over arms deals and oil. If we went solar, wind, and nuclear, that most likely wouldn't even be as much of a thing (The oil part).

Not to mention that most of these people are from the party that is oh so concerned about children constantly while showing jack shit care in actual voting almost every single time.

Trump Moves to Deport Vietnam War Refugees

I have a question about a lot of these people who have been here for DECADES and are still "Refugees".

Why the fuck weren't they made citizens ages ago? They've been here most of their lives for a vast majority of them, why the hell aren't they just US citizens now?

Trump says he's narrowed his chief of staff search down to five contenders

During a meeting with governors-elect, the president teased out vague details of the search in reality-show style. "Five people. Really good ones. Terrific people. Mostly well known, but terrific people," Trump said.

Trump did not name any of the candidates or say when a decision will be made.

Thirty years ago the US military tortured someone into saying that Guerrero carried out a bombing, therefore Trump was right all along and the caravan is full of terrorists.
