Have you ever lived among illegal aliens? Have you ever seen a flophouse filled with illegal aliens on your street? Have you seen your child's education suffer due to attention being diverted to kids who come to school not knowing English? Have you seen MS-13 graffiti in your community? Have you had a drive-by shooting of a kid who was waiting for the school bus, all because that kid wouldn't join a gang? In the case that happened in my community, three illegal aliens were arrested for that shooting.

Have you seen single women become so afraid due to rising crime by illegals, that they fled your community? In one case, a widowed woman had an illegal break into her house while she slept and ended up getting raped.

You talk about "fear mongering". All that shows is that you are truly clueless to the deleterious effects of illegal immigration. Easy for you to attack those who have experienced these things given that you've been insulated from it all.
I don't think that poster is clueless they just plain don't give a damn. I suspect he/she has a vested interest in or ethnic ties to illegal aliens.

I gather they assume help is closer at hand at San Ysidro than at some much smaller crossing in the middle of the desert. They didn't count on getting the stiff arm from the U.S.

Ah...I see! You either live in a gated community or in a doorman building. In other words, you are clueless.

I have lived in those conditions I've described. You trivialize those victims of illegal aliens by reducing the crimes that were inflicted upon them as "fear-mongering". That is truly vile and despicable, not to mention cold and heartless. How about you talk to someone who suffered at the hands of an illegal and tell them that they are "fear-mongering"? Don't be surprised if you get a rude response in return.

I have a cousin who is a retired BP agent. If she got attacked by illegal aliens, it would have been very upsetting to all in the extended family. Have you ever thought about that? If it was your family member who was having rocks thrown at him/her, you wouldn't be so quick to give a pass to those illegals.

If a "stranger" forced his/her way into your own home, would you just let them do that? Would you stand by while they robbed you and ransacked your home?

I bet those Methodists haven't opened their own homes to illegal aliens. Nor are they paying for any illegals' food, shelter and medical care. In other words, they are hypocrites.

Nothing "winning" about that sign at all.

Actually there is a question being raised as to whether the BP has a right to shoot tear gas into Mexico.

and it appears they do not. Their appropriate response is to back up and call the Mexican authorities. If the immigrants enter the US they can then arrest them. Or throw tear gas at them if they are throwing rocks.

But assaulting people in Mexico is not within their jurisdiction.

You make some very valid points. That church that put out that sign is seriously wrong. Those illegals went past Mexican police who were holding riot shields and completely disrespected the procedure, and some threw projectiles and bottles. I heard their getting deported which is good. We as a nation cannot tolerate that behavior.

You’re always trying to find a lame excuse to justify the animal behavior of these migrants.

The real question is whether BP shot tear gas into Mexico. The fence/wall is not right on the line, you know? Looking at google maps, it appears the Tijuana riverbed is American soil.

Nonsense. Big rocks can put out an eye just as much if thrown from Mexico. Don't tie the BP's hands.
