Migrant Caravan Leaders Make Demands - U.S. Speed Up Asylum Process blabber.buzz/conservative-n…
Migrants who have spoken to establishment media outlets in recent months have cited economic reasons for coming to the United States. Economic claims, though, as even numerous establishment media outlets have noted, do not qualify migrants for asylum.
As a CBS Evening News report recently acknowledged: “Most tell us they are fleeing extreme poverty, but that’s not a condition for asylum or refugee status in the U.S.”
In a statement, the migrants again admitted that they were in fact coming to the United States to get access to jobs, education, and health care in addition to “a life without threats.”
The migrants also claimed that they were “victims of the repression” from the U.S. border patrol on Sunday after border patrol agents fired tear gas to disperse migrants who were throwing rocks at the agents
“We were victims of the repression from the U.S. border patrol, they threw tear gas at us various times, the children were affected greatly and we were only walking because we wanted to be seen,” they reportedly said in their statement and at the press conference. 
“We wanted to be recognized as a big group of people who wants to be heard so international laws can protect us as we migrate and seek better lives.”
According to NBC, the migrants also reportedly claimed that children died because of border patrol agents’ actions, but reporters noted that those claims were completely unsubstantiated after checking with local authorities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
