As said by others Steve - how many have you invited into your home and sponsored? I'm going to assume the answer is 0. I support this President and am very open to LEGAL immigration - which this is not.

The article doesn't seem too concerned that these people were trying to slam their way into America like an invading force but they instead highlighted how children were crying as they choked on the gas that drifted over the mob.



What really got me was the lead in photo to the article that instead of showing the men trying to break down the fences they instead choose to show an attractive woman running up a hill as a homemade American flag flies above her. I instantly thought of that painting from the French Revolution of 1830 that depicts Liberty Leading the People.







Click on the link above to see the photo and then check out the painting here.

The similarities are striking. What are they trying to do? Is the Left trying to cast these law breaking "migrants" as heroes of some revolution?
It is called, "staging the scene".
CNN is notorious for creating the story.
Sandy Hook was the perfect example of them staging the scene and people noticing it, calling Sandy Hook Fake.

What kind of President parades illegals on stage and misrepresents how important illegals are to the country? That would be Obama.

Had those people not attempted to enter illegally they wouldn't have been gassed. Sometimes it just Sucks to be the criminal.

Here’s a better question: what kind of parent brings children with them to attempt a violent invasion of a country they aren’t a citizen of? I’m much more critical of them than I am people lawfully doing their jobs.

Give it a rest.

Here's an idea: Don't crash the gates, respect our laws -- and you don't get tear gassed.

Problem solved!!!!!

Seriously. I’ve avoided making any personal commentary in this thread, but the idea that troops went out of their way to chase down and pepper spray children is just so ludicrous and stupid that it couldn’t go without comment. People who think this way need sharp objects removed from their presence.

This is helping Trump’s presidency as most of his campaign was about being tough on immigration.

I’ve talked to Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and African immigrants who don’t agree with what’s going on. They took the long steps to come here legally, you don’t get to just cut the line because you live in a 2nd or 3rd world country.

Oh stop with the melodramatics! What was the Border Patrol to do when their parents started throwing rocks and bottles at them? Not our fault that they dragged their kids into this. Trump did not send troops to the border to bully children. He sent them there to stop the adults from illegally entering our country and to protect the lives of the Border Patrol from attack. Geez, get a grip! All this concern for foreigners trying to crash our border and no concern for our own citizens and their children. If only we could deport people like you and yours to the banana republic of their choice.
