The University of California Berkeley student government has resolved to financially support the Honduran migrant caravan after a four-hour meeting Wednesday evening, during which senators were told that voting against the funding would be “violent."
The resolution passed Wednesday night was presented by the Associated Students of the University of California. Among other initiatives, the bill titled In Support of Central American Refugees in their Pursuit of Asylum proposed that the student government allocate $1500 to be donated to a non-profit organization with the intent of helping to fund the caravan.
These students urged the association to “put their money where their mouth is”...and asserted that a refusal to allocate the $1500 in caravan assistance funding would be “damn petty." Tweet This
The bill specifically referenced the Honduran migrant caravan, acknowledging that "while some have gradually arrived to the US-Mexico border, thousands are still en route and should arrive in the next week or two,” and calling on the student government to “be in solidarity” with these individuals.
The document details the plight of Honduran citizens and blames the state of Honduras on the United States. "The United States, fueled by corporate greed, has strategically intervened in Central American politics and warfare; thus strengthening the U.S. economy and further disregarding the livelihood of the citizens in these countries."
Multiple Latino American students, one of whom stated that she was "undocumented and unafraid," showed up to speak before the vote in an effort to persuade senators to pass the bill, some more aggressive than others. These students urged the association to “put their money where their mouth is” to prove their empathy for the migrants and asserted that a refusal to allocate the $1,500 in caravan assistance funding would be “damn petty.”

$1500?! That’s adorable!
I wonder how many of these obviously should not be in college idiots actually are there on their own money.
Let’s ask them do donate their own funds to fund the “caravan” and then volunteer to have the ILLEGALS live with them after they get here.
And - all support thereafter comes from these same low IQ studies major dolts.
....better hold on to the money for bail
I understand the Clinton Foundation is taking donations again. If they can help the caravan the way they helped Haiti I'd say we have a win-win situation.
That voting against it would be violent?
Sounds to me like a threat of violence against those whose conscience or good judgment would lead them to vote no.
Who do they make the check payable to?
Eliminate student government.
They should volunteer to add one of these migrant families to each of their dorm rooms and food plans. Might give them a dose of the reality they seem to be promoting.
“————————during which senators were told that voting against the funding would be “violent.”
Unbelievable!
.
Sounds like they are threatening violence if they don't get their way.
How Antifa of them.
Or leftist, or liberal, or dems, or whatever left wing group you care to insert there.
Ya beat me to it. Agreed.
Yup. Typical Demscum projection.
George Soros.
A bunch of punk children. ICE needs to pay a visit to some of these illegal freeloaders in pre-school that they call college.
$1500 will buy the illegals a lot of beer!
Nuke it from space. It’s the only way to be sure.
