Migrants enveloped in tear gas after heading toward US

Migrants approaching the U.S. border... were enveloped with tear gas Sunday after a few tried to breach the fence separating the two countries.... Honduran migrant Ana Zuniga, 23, said she saw migrants open a small hole in concertina wire at a gap on the Mexican side of a levee, at which point U.S. agents fired tear gas at them....

Mexico’s Milenio TV also showed images of several migrants at the border trying to jump over the fence....

U.S. Border Patrol helicopters flew overhead, while U.S. agents held vigil on foot beyond the wire fence....

... several hundred Central American migrants pushed past a blockade of Mexican police who were standing guard... They appeared to easily pass through without using violence,...

They convened the demonstration to try to pressure the U.S to hear their asylum claims and carried hand-painted American and Honduran flags while chanting: “We are not criminals! We are international workers!”

A second line of Mexican police carrying plastic riot shields stood guard outside a Mexican customs and immigration plaza. That line of police had installed tall steel panels behind them outside the Chaparral crossing .... Migrants were asked by police to turn back toward Mexico....[snip]

Irineo Mujica, who has accompanied the migrants for weeks as part of the aid group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, said the aim of Sunday’s march toward the U.S. border was to make the migrants’ plight more visible to the governments of Mexico and the U.S. “We can’t have all these people here,” Mujica told The Associated Press....[snip]

Mexico’s Interior Ministry said ... has sent 11,000 Central Americans back to their countries since Oct. 19.... 1,906 of them were members of the recent caravans.

Mexico is on track to send a total of around 100,000 Central Americans back home by the end of this year.

Mujica is from Phoenix and is an activist of Pueblo Sin Fronteras. He is also said to be from Tijuana working as a binational activist. Mujica was jailed in Southern Mexico Oct 19, 2018 as a result of his activities with the Hondurans crashing the southern Mexican border. He always seems to be in the forefront of the agitation when things get hot.

***WARNING***

AP = All Propaganda

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don't have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying. That way you have a headline and a source that your readers can reasonably rely on and they go away more informed about the lie AND the truth.

“We are not criminals! We are international workers!”

That's a new one on me.

The media continues to use "migrants" exclusively, like this is the Joad family headed for California.

Sure, your eyes may tell you this is a rock-throwing invasion of thousands of uninvited and unwelcome people (mostly fighting-age men), but your eyes deceive you! Just ask CNN's Jim Acosta, he will tell you these are peaceful asylum seekers patiently waiting in line to apply for asylum. /sarcasm

“International workers” is not a legitimate asylum claim. Keep these people out of my country!

IF MEXICO IS DOING EVERYTHING MENTIONED IN THE POST I RESPONDED TO, THEN IT WOULD BE EASIER TO STOP THEM AT THEIR SOUTHERN BORDER. CAN’T MAKE IT ANY PLAINER.
