A group of Central American migrants camped at the U.S.-Mexico border said Tuesday that they were "victims of repression" by American border agents who launched tear gas over the weekend at a crowd that included angry rock-throwers and crying children.
"We were only walking [to the border checkpoint] so that we could be visible, so that they would recognize that we are a large group of people who just want to be heard so that international law can protect us as we migrate and seek to improve our lives," the group, calling itself Central American Exodus for Life, said in an English-language statement
The showdown at the San Diego-Tijuana border crossing has thrown into sharp relief two competing narratives about the caravan of migrants who've aimed to apply for asylum but have gotten stuck on the Mexico side of the border.
"There are international organizations here that accept as fact that we will not be able to enter the United States and that we should be returned," the migrant statement said, "but many of those of us who are travelling have to continue trying because they will kill us if we return to our countries."
In their statement, the migrants made five requests, including an end to what they called "arbitrary, manipulative and involuntary deportations"; an accelerated process for applying for asylum in the U.S.; a permanent accommodation for migrants wishing to stay in Mexico, to be negotiated by that country's incoming government; the public release of the identities of deported migrants; and "Human Rights accompaniment at all times and during an detention to prevent the violation of migrant human rights."

By Jove, I think he’s got it!
Help Help I’m being repressed!
[[Caravan migrants accuse US border agents of ‘repression’ by using tear gas]]
Yawn- Whatever! We accuse them of attempted murder by ASSAULTING our border agents!
Dead invaders can’t launch lawsuits.
I continue to be astonished that any reaction other than the use of deadly force is considered to be appropriate in the face of border invasions.
Anywhere else in the world, any other time in human history, all these people would have their heads on pikes as a warning to the next group as to what their fate would be.
“In their statement, the migrants made five requests, including an end to what they called “arbitrary, manipulative and involuntary deportations””
Involuntary deportations? That’s an oxymoron! ALL Deportations are by Definition, Involuntary. If you are told to leave a country and you do, that’s not deportation.
Why don’t they go back to their $hithole countries and fix them, so they can have a better life?
Quite the sense of entitlement.
Tough s**t. You don’t come as America loving people wanting to assimilate into American culture. You come as ‘entitled’ invaders, and this is a selfish act that deserves the actions you’ve encountered so far.
Their script has to have been written by a democrat front group. High velocity face palm action for these folks.
Caravan migrants cry repression? Or do they mean their “organizers?” ....honestly, this is all so blatantly obvious it’s getting to be a joke.
Bull farking shiite.
In other words, the US Constitution is null and void when we shop around for judges that will rule that International Law is supreme.
Not like tear gas wasn’t used before...and I thought they were seeking asylum, not “migrating to improve their lives”? If that’s the case apply for citizenship or at least a work visa. Doing things legally avoids many problems.
