"Migrants run as tear gas is thrown by U.S. Border Protection officers to the Mexican side of the border fence after they climbed the fence to get to San Diego from on Tuesday. Discouraged by the long wait to apply for asylum through official ports of entry, many migrants from recent caravans are choosing to cross the U.S. border wall and hand themselves over to agents."They don't want to wait in line. They don't want to follow the law. They want to enter the U.S. by charging the border.
They put the lives of their children in danger because they know it's easier on them if they drag a child along. So far, two of the children didn't make it and died. So far, over 250 children are ill and of these, about half are under the age of five.
The U.S. Border Protection has its hands full and that's what the illegal aliens are counting on--overwhelming the agents who guard our borders and charge into the country as if it is their right to do so.
Now U.S. Border Protection had to use tear gas to keep the illegal aliens out and on the Mexican side of the border.
The new year brought continued tensions along the U.S.-Mexico border as U.S. authorities fired tear gas at migrants from the Central American caravan that has gathered there with about 150 illegal aliens, to keep them from breaching the border fence with Tijuana, Mexico.
An Associated Press photographer witnessed at least three volleys of gas launched onto the Mexican side of the border near Tijuana’s beach early Tuesday. It affected the migrants, including women and children, as well as members of the press. This is what tear gas was designed to do--affect people who would otherwise break the law, especially the rock-throwers on the Mexican side who tried to prevent agents from helping children being passed over the concertina barb wire, as per U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP). Agents said 25 migrants were detained.
Migrants who spoke with AP said they arrived last month with the caravan from Honduras.
Such clashes have been common as the migrants, who have put their names on a waiting list that is thousands of names long, have grown restless, with some opting to force their way across the border, unlike the rest of the U.S. immigrants who legally applied for citizenship and waited their turn.
USCBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said last year that the Border Patrol’s use-of-force policy allows agents to use tear gas and other nonlethal methods. Rubber bullets would do a better job, but that's not allowed.
In November, after a group of migrants tried to rush the border, McAleenan defended the use of tear gas: “As the events unfolded, quick, decisive and effective action prevented an extremely dangerous situation.”

President Trump is trying to get Democrats to negotiate over building a border wall. After all, John Kerry has a wall around a family home in France and is doing his best to keep it there while the residents want it down.
