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.

Please provide a link denoting that the troops went out of their way to chase down and paper spray children specifically.

Get your head on straight. I’m quoting C-D poster Steve McDonald, who claims on the previous page that they did.

I’m smart enough to know that that did not happen.

What kind of morons attempts to bum rush a border lined with troops. They charged not the BP. They think they don't have to wait to come in. Wrong answer.

What do they think is waiting for them? A free house and food like they are getting in TJ? Nope, they will be instantly on our homeless count.

This ^^^

These parents are purposely endangering their children and then teaching these children it’s a positive thing to disrespect another country’s laws. These irresponsible parents are NOT the type of criminal, law-breaking immigrants we need here.

Trump has created this problem and now cannot figure out how to fix it.



Our country starting to look like 3rd world nation. All because Trump is a bigot.

The several reports , CNN CBS, AP and so forth, I have read have said the border patrol, not troops shot tear gas, after the 500 or so broke away from a Mexican-side demonstration, attempting to cross illegally into the United States and threw bottles and stones at the border patrol agents guarding the border. Only then was the tear gas shot.

Please find an article, any article citing troops. Pure fantasy. These are not noble people trying to non-violently enter through a legal U.S. port of entry.

The children had no say so in the matter. They didnt choose to be there. And they got gassed.

Why do you people never put the blame on the parents that led their children to a place and attempted to illegally enter when this outcome was predictable? Any further aliens who bring their kids to this situation in the days ahead should be declared unfit parents and their custody terminated.

Not only that, but I've learned thru FB, that they can post any picture they want off the internet....to push their agenda.....

I've seen those, stupid, share if you agree, or I bet I won't get one share....bull crap....they post a picture of some military vet, or use any picture off the internet to gain your sympathy so you like and share, and then they can get into your privet information and your friends.

I totally agree.....totally, and still we have military vets who are homeless....sheeesh...
