US agents fire tear gas as some migrants try to breach fence
Christopher Sherman, Associated Press
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — U.S. border agents fired tear gas on hundreds of migrants protesting near the border with Mexico on Sunday after some of them attempted to get through the fencing and wire separating the two countries, and American authorities shut down border crossings from the city where thousands are waiting to apply for asylum.
The situation devolved after the group began a peaceful march to appeal for the U.S. to speed processing of asylum claims for Central American migrants marooned in Tijuana. Some saw an opportunity to breach the crossing.

Umm, no, that's not the point.
The point is, this is clearly a forcible foreign invasion, and deserves to be responded to for what it is.
I’m confused, why are all these people of color coming to this evil, white, racist, oppressive, unequal, capitalistic society?
Is that what you think of this country? You 'd probably call me a lefty, but both sides have worked to make this country great. We try to help our own citizens but we cannot afford all these people. We're supposed to pay to educate their kids, provide health care, make room for them? We're not going to do it so they might as well go home.
Look past the MSM propaganda! The photo you provided is certainly provocative however, note the distance between her (and kids) and where the breach actually took place. She choose to expose her girls to danger and now the MSM are exploiting the situation to garner sympathy for migrants.
And now she will probably be deported from Mexico. Good job, Mom.
Another photo. It looks like they were running from tear gas, but there was not much of it.

You are talking about the past.
We are dealing with the present and the future. At present the commentary coming from the left, expressed by many of their leaders, is America is evil, white, racist, oppressive, unequal, capitalistic society. Socialism is the answer they say. Everyone should be a world citizen and not an American citizen but the world isn't a country and its never going to be. There will always be disagreement and pushback on that idea. There will never be peace promoting that idea.

A group of about 100 people trying to illegally cross the border Sunday near the San Ysidro port of entry threw rocks and bottles at U.S. Border Patrol agents, who responded by using pepper spray and other means to force the crowd back into Mexico, federal officials said.
The incident has raised concerns among advocates on both sides of the immigration debate, as well as Border Patrol representatives.
The incident occurred about a quarter-mile west of the San Ysidro border crossing in the Tijuana River channel. No one was seriously injured, no shots were fired and no arrests were made, said Mary Beth Caston, a Border Patrol spokeswoman.
The group first approached a lone agent stationed about 1/8 of a mile north of the border. They ignored his commands to stop, so he fired pepper balls to try to stop them and protect himself, Caston said.
As the crowd kept advancing and throwing rocks and bottles, she said, more agents came to the scene and used other “intermediate use-of-force devices” to push back the group. The agents also contacted Mexican law enforcement.
If there is a government body with blood on its hands its congress. They have for years failed to respond to the needs of those who have elected them. They aren't getting the message today either.
Electing Trump is the best move America has made to ensure the long term safety of Americans.
You know who else had no say? WE the people paying taxes that have to pay for these illegals and so-called asylum seekers. Sucks to be them but it really is them or us.
