Migrants enveloped in tear gas after heading toward US
AP ^ | November 25, 2018 | Christopher Sherman

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.

Your #3, great post. Deserves repeating:

***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.

A great weakness of FR. Many have said when first visiting they thought FR was a Leftist site what with all the posting of Lying leftist media sources.

You bet. Any negative, slanderous or mocking news articles regarding Trump from the corrupt fake leftist media, are posted here repeatedly over and over. As if after 50,000 posted pro-leftist articles, we didn't know what the Democrats are all about.

Always with these staged professional photo ops. Look in the background at the guy in shorts with a blue sweatshirt by the man with the green cap. He's taking photos.If you notice that the "caravan" is color coded with different people or groups wearing specific colors.

This has to be fake news from the AP. Why would people try so hard to come in to a country filled with racists, bigots homophobes? The beaches in Mexico like Cozumel and Cancun are much better than ours anyway.

“We can’t have all these people here,” Mujica told The Associated Press

Oh, I agree!!!

They all need to go home--their home, not ours.

One of the main purposes of FR is to point out the bias and lies of the media. Sorry if you don’t agree the concept.

I totally agree with the concept, only use reasonably reliable sources, or one's self as a reasonably reliable source, to point out the bias and lies of the Delusional Lying Leftist media. We shoot ourselves in the foot when we use the Delusional Lying Leftist media as sources of info.

If you look at the responses to what I'm saying many agree. WAY too much Delusional Lying Leftist media being used as sources of information on FR.

I love FR, but this is a real flaw in our efforts to defeat the lies. We defeat lies by telling the truth, not repeating the lies.

We post the articles then hopefully knowledgeable FReepers like yourself will point out the lies. Take the word “migrants” for example, which they used to refer to the hordes of organized criminal illegal alien invaders massing on the Mexican side of our southern border (with Mexico’s tact approval and assistance) where they hope to amass enough criminal alien invaders that they can eventually rush our border and overwhelm our border defenses to violently invade the U.S., cowardly using women and children as human shields. The U.S. border defenders will have no choice but to use tear gas, rubber bullets, razor wire, flash bang devices, machine gun fire over their heads, etc, to turn back the masses of invaders. Many will be hurt and some will be killed, but this means nothing to the leftist open borders activists both within and without America (including the media and the leftist political parties) who wish to destroy our national security and national sovereignty and ultimately cause America to fail.

Something is wrong with so many of their photos. For people hiking for days and sleeping in the dirt, they all look like they are auditioning for a Tide commercial (after the rinse cycle,)

The diapered four and four year old blond girls look like they are being shuffled by their Honduran nanny after a day at Laguna Beach.

sum ting wong.

Mexico has armed forces. It’s time they used them on both their southern and northern borders.

The last time the sent 500 of their cops to their southern border, and we all see how that worked out.

There are other strategic reasons that they marched hundreds of miles further to Tijuana.

1. They always had this plan, make no doubt about it.

2. Optics- they wanted all, or nearly all to converge at one point.

3. They targeted the California border because the groups driving this caravan are connected with Catholic Legal Immigration Clinic and their organization is heavily entrenched in Cali. Their related ‘non-profits’ would profit quite handsomely from the impending settlement of the incoming horde.

4. The Central Americans prefer to go there and will get more free stuff including free comprehensive medical care on top of all the rest.

5. The 9th Circus Court of Appeals and a multitude of Cali leftist judges will resist any constitutional and legal means to stop them. Note that Texas lies within the 5th Circuit of the Appellate Courts.

trump has leverage with Mexico he can cut or eliminate foreign aid or close the border anger. Closing the border not only hurts TJ but all the places down the coat.
