What is extortion?
Most states define extortion as the gaining of property or money by almost any kind of force, or threat of 1) violence, 2) property damage, 3) harm to reputation, or 4) unfavorable government action. While usually viewed as a form of theft/larceny, extortion differs from robbery in that the threat in question does not pose an imminent physical danger to the victim.
Extortion is a felony in all states. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose embarrassing and damaging information to family, friends, or the public. Inherent in this common form of extortion is the threat to expose the details of someone’s private lives to the public unless money is exchanged.
It’s also a federal felony
Migrant group demands Trump either let them in or pay them each $50G to turn around: report
Two groups of Central American migrants marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday with a list of demands, with one group delivering an ultimatum to the Trump administration: either let them in the U.S. or pay them $50,000 each to go home, a report said.
Among other demands were that deportations be halted and that asylum seekers be processed faster and in greater numbers, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The first group of caravan members, that included about 100 migrants, arrived at the consulate around 11 a.m. Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa, an organizer from Honduras, said the $50,000 figure was chosen as a group.
“It may seem like a lot of money to you,†Ulloa told the paper. “But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras.â€
Oh, so they’re going to play the Victimcard in attempting to extort the federal government, and gave President Trump 72 hours to respond. So these migrants have now committed a federal felony, and as such, are no longer allowed into the United States. Besides, they were never invited.
They do know they won’t get the money, right? Perhaps they should hit up George Soros and all the Leftist groups who helped move them from Honduras.
A letter from the second group of about 50 migrants arrived at the consulate around 1:20 p.m. asking the U.S. to speed up the asylum process and to admit up to 300 asylum seekers each day at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego. Currently, around 40 to 100 are admitted.
You do not get to dictate to a country you were not invited to any terms of entry.
Many have been granted asylum in Mexico. Many are just hanging. Many have attempted illegal entry. And many have left
“A lot of people are leaving because there is no solution here,†said Douglas Matute, 38, of Tijuana. “We thought they would let us in. But Trump sent the military instead of social workers.â€
He told you he would do that. He told you not to come. You did not listen. You were surely duped by all the activist groups he enticed you to travel thousands of miles. Go home and apply for asylum at the U.S. embassy in Honduras.

There’s a new sheriff in town.
We’re serious about you coming through the front door.
Get ready Trump is going to shut down the government and the ones that will pay is the Republicans. Next election in 2020 their is going to be a blood bath in the primaries as perhaps upwards of a 100 republicans face serious and well funded primary challenges.
I understand they need 60 votes in the senate but the repubs never even tried to pass a border wall or immigration reform the last two years. Give Credit to the never Trumper Paul Ryan who obstructed Trump for 2 years then QUIT. Most likely to take a really cushy job making millions for some corporation getting rich of a borderless world.
Why the Democrats choose to support a world without borders when the only ones really benefiting are billionaires and corporations.
IF a billionaire has all his money in the USA and it does not do well, he is fubar. However in a borderless world the same billionaire and corporation such as google, amazon, apple, Samsung etc.. can make money in china when the USA goes into recession. They can make money in Japan when Taiwan slows down.
The borderless world is for the rich and the mega corporations and the left has fallen for it hook line and sinker because its been painted as oh those poor immigrants just trying to get ahead.
BS. This is about billionaires and corporations making insane amounts of money off the sweat of 2.00 per hour workers in China and around the world. PERIOD.
And the left pretends to care about the working man! Haha.
A blood bath in the primaries as perhaps upwards of a 100 republicans face serious and well funded primary challenges means Trumplicans taking out Whigs. Or trying to.
And you can bet Trump will mount an effort to win back the House.

Because the billionaires and corporations are the ones who own them.
Shutting down the government isn’t as important as the media wants us to think. Most Americans get along just fine without the “government” operating. After all, the government “shuts down” every weekend and 10 federal holidays every year. The Media plays this huge game about who will take the blame and they fail to see that no one cares about the blame but them. Most of the government is on autopilot and can continue to function just fine with the rest of the government “shut down”. The people who really care about not shutting down the government are the swamp creatures. They know what happens if the “people” discover that they get along just fine without anyone at the department of education ever coming back to work.
Somebody’s been hitting the all you can drink margaritas real hard if they thing Trump’s giving in to that.
