The crossing is closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic according to the government site.

Dramatic video clips here ... https://www.businessinsider.com/border-closed-after-groups-o... Migrants crossing the TJ river and rushing the pedestrian walkway.

Last photo shows the road just after you clear Mexican customs on the way south, where you make a choice to stay left to go downtown or all the way to the right to take the ramp out to Playas. No cars, just migrants and Mexican riot cops. Unbelievable.

Widely reported. Here is the test of teh CNN report

US shuts down major San Diego port of entry as migrants rush border
CNN
1:21 PM, Nov 25, 2018
2 hours ago
US Customs and Border Protection has closed road and pedestrian bridges in both directions at the San Ysidro port of entry, one of the largest land border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico.
The closures come as around 500 migrants overwhelmed federal and local Mexican police blockades and rushed toward the US border near Tijuana, Mexico.
The crowds are made up of men, women and a lot of children, said CNN stringer Alfredo Alvarez, who is in the crowd.
Because the regular border crossings were closed, the migrants headed for the cargo area where the railroad crosses, Alvarez said.
The migrants appeared to be meters from the US border wall, he said. He could not see from his position if the migrants had managed to get across the actual border.
A border crossing closed between US-Mexico
CNN
US Customs and Border Patrol shut down pedestrian and vehicle traffic at the San Ysidro Port of Entry after around 500 migrants overwhelmed federal and local Mexican police blockades, rushing toward the US border. CNN's Rafael Romo reports.
Published at: 12:24 PM, Sun Nov 25 2018
The agency said it has deployed extra personnel to the border crossing due to multiple planned demonstrations on both sides of the border.
"The additional personnel, which included CBP officers, US Border Patrol agents, and Air and Marine agents, were recently deployed to the San Diego area from various areas around the country in preparation for the potential arrival of the caravan in Tijuana."

Tijuana port of entry is also now closed

Officials at on the US side of the border are now using tear gas to stop the lawless migrants.

David K - 11-25-2018 at 09:54 PM

The TV news today clearly showed Tear Gas was only used where the few dozen (mainly young males) had forced through the border fence (the older fence next to the newer one) to repel illegal crossers... and they quickly returned to Mexico... No children were seen.


https://www.facebook.com/RNHANewYork/videos/529136234218926/

I suspect the photo above, which is clearly inside Mexico at the river (no U.S. tear gas canisters were launched into Mexico), was a smoke bomb or maybe tear gas, from Mexican law enforcement or Mexican protesters angry at the illegal Central Americans in their country?

How did this mother walk her children from Honduras without any shoes?

I am very sad that governments of the nations they left have such low respect for their own people. Make Central America Great! Only Costa Rica and Belize seem to have figured it out, from what I can tell?

gnukid - 11-26-2018 at 05:55 AM

Mexico has offered temporary resident lucrativo status, housing, and jobs to the Central Americans and they have refused.

The mass migrant caravan is a highly organized movement of people, supported and paid to move people to cause chaos, destabilization, provoke political change, distract and ultimately is clearly an attack on Mexico and the USA.

The group is mostly men, very few women and children who are being used as tools or weapons in a war on the sovereignty of North American nations.

To downplay the obvious organized danger posed to everyone involved is to grossly misunderstand the facts. It's interesting that there is an effort here by some extremists to promote this mass destabilization and threat to security, safety, economy and rule of law, as a humanitarian initiative requiring the rule of law to be dismantled.

The border area is already among the most dangerous, violent crime ridden places in the world prior to this organized destabilization initiative. Nearly 1 million children go missing in the USA every year, and many in Mexico, many of which are associated with the border region. Too many lives have been lost to violent criminal behavior, that clearly has corrupt connections to those in power.

Who in the right mind would support this highly dangerous assault on the security of the region, and for what reason would anyone support the lies behind this high funded effort, based on political corruption to profit off the backs of others suffering and increases in insecurity for both the migrants who are being used as tools of destabilization and the residents who are being increasingly threatened.

It has been demonstrated that the migrants are not who they are being portrayed as, they are paid political activist, manipulated to cause chaos, not all unlike Antifa activists, who are increasingly violent and disruptive to society, yet supported by some political extremists.

Taking a step back, this is clearly a war, with strategies to move troops, attack infrastructure and cause economic damage to provide political change. It fits the Alinsky Rules for Radicals model, designed to create chaos to promote Marxist socialist societal control, on the backs of useful idiots.

If you have compassion, have compassion for those people who respect communities and their laws, those that follow legal paths for migration and who want to work and contribute to a stable, secure healthy community.

People who promote societal destabilization, and threaten our communities and their families with lawless invasions of disruptive people, should be seen for who they are. No rational person would support this mass threat to our community and way of life.

This photo is a strategically orchestrated tool to pull at heartstrings.

Ask: What type of parent would drag underdressed children into extremely dangerous border situation, rush police barricades to run into border traffic attempting to cross, which is certain to put the kids at risk of serious life threatening injury and is certain to have a negative outcome. The region of the photo is a war zone of dangerous criminals who live in the river basin and do drugs and is controlled by cartels. Her behavior is outrageous and criminal on many levels. What kind of person would promote and support this treatment of children?

Meanwhile,
A man arrested for killing a young teacher in a hit and run was out on bond for an assault charge dating back to 2017 in El Paso.

El Paso Police arrested and charged 24-year old Joel Velazquez with Accident Involving Death killing Amanda Ferguson Weyant in a hit and run on Thanksgiving Day.

KFOX14 reported that at the time of the crash he was out on bond from a 2017 assault charge.

Father of the young woman said; "Her body was so mangled that they wouldn't even let me see my daughter"

Probably won't see that young woman on the front of any newspapers. Google it.

I wrote this myself at the moment, as evidenced by the misspellings and errors in grammar, and have not read the source you mention. I suppose many of us have similar thoughts, based on observation, experience and history, just as I see alignment with your distinctly different thoughts, chorused but others here.

For example, here in BCS there is no sympathy or tolerance for the Central American invasion. The public sentiment is you are welcome to visit as a tourist, then you need to leave or migrate legally. The events are clearly orchestrated political nonsense, and a waste of of energy and time and threat to our security.

Lee, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and welcome the Central American caravan into your house and pay for them to live with you in Todos Santos?

Ad hominem personal attacks demonstrate that you have no facts to make your point, aside from the attacks being entirely false.

The woman in the photo is a symbolic mythical staged image. She would have had to arrive many thousands of miles, head into the Tijuana river basin, run though a police barricade, across the basin, up the hill and apparently attempt to climb the fence with her babies, and run through the border crossing, all which is extremely dangerous, suicidal, criminal and futile.

It's not possible for her to have arrived all this way without significant financial and organizational support, while being fed lies that she is welcome, and ultimately stage this photo with clean clothes, wearing an "Elsa the ice queen" shirt, yet her kids have no shoes or belongings, dragging her kids in harms way without shoes or clothes.

In any civilized country in the world this is recognized as totally irresponsible behavior endangering her kids, requiring community intervention to rescue the children from her reckless behavior.

It's interesting that instead of the obvious conclusion that this requires intervention to stop her, instead you would encourage her to further her criminal dangerous behavior on behalf of political destabilization. Clearly it's a paid social programming to incite polarization and social change, and tolerance of a second or third class of illegal migrants to serve as low cost labor to push cost down and further create acceptance of lawlessness and criminal corruption in the border area.

Ultimately the result of illegal immigration is that the individuals end up as victims of compromised situations without legal papers to identify as their true identity. It's very sad that some of you promote this type of life leaving a long trail of victims, while you claim to be moral and empathetic, you promote and support the cartels control over human trafficking victims.

A lot of caravan, insensitive haters, have lots of incorrect information and made up BS on this thread about the migrants and their young children who were victims of tear gas.

According to the Associated news, fake news, to the likes of David K. and Gnukid, because it's not "Fox News, the children were hundreds of feet away from the fence, and were not attempting to enter the US, however, the wind carried the tear gas towards the children hundreds of feet away.....therefore, it unlikely was not planned by the migrants, and for sure was not well thought through by the border patrol.

Shame on Trump, his administration, and the jack booted thugs, in ICE, and the border patrol.

To the rest of the world, and groups like Amnesty International, the United States, is acting like N-zi Germany.

Children screamed and coughed amid the gas, The Associated Press reported.

Amnesty International complained that “families are frightened and soldiers are shooting tear gas at toddlers. We must choose to be better than this.”

Here is an article from "Buzzfeed" that actually interviewed the Caravan migrant, with the two kids.

Read the facts before another "Baja Nomad" member, comes around and makes things up out of thin air or talks conspiracy theories.

And briefly from the article, the woman and her children were not trying to rush the fence, and one of her children lost her shoes while running.
___________________________

The Mother In This Iconic Photo Of Sunday’s Border Teargassing Was Thinking Only Of Getting Her Children To Safety

“I thought my kids were going to die with me because of the gas we inhaled.”

IJUANA, Mexico — The woman running with her two daughters in front of tear gas in the widely published photo from Sunday’s confrontation at the border between some members of the caravan and US border authorities feels like crying when she looks at the image.

In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Maria Meza, 39, of Honduras said she was standing by the border fence with her five children when Border Patrol agents fired at least three tear gas canisters at them.

“I felt sad, I was scared. I wanted to cry. That’s when I grabbed my daughters and ran,” Meza told BuzzFeed News. “I thought my kids were going to die with me because of the gas we inhaled.”

The photo, taken by Kim Kyung-Hoon of Reuters, shows the single mother running from the gas in the Tijuana River bed, clutching her twin daughters’ arms.

I am in Tj . Business as usual, CBP says they can not predict the next closeing. At noon, I had never seen the Rio Tijuana so clean. 4pm, the homeless guys are building a new camp, business as usual.

Did the migrants really tell the Mexicans that free tacos were only fit for animals, the same tacos the Mexicans eat?

Se llama Honduras doña LADYFRIJOLES, she said the free food provided was food for pigs, just beans and tortillas... (sarcasm) they came for lobster from Rosarito.

This racist former Border Patrol, thug, claims that pepper spray is harmless, and you could put pepper spray on nachos!

Of course he says it on "Fox New," where the right-wing audience believes anything "Fox News" says.
_____________________________

Border Patrol official: You could put pepper spray on nachos



A former top Border Patrol official said Monday that the pepper spray used to stop migrants from forcing their way across the US border to seek asylum was so harmless, they could eat it on their nachos.

“It’s natural. You could actually put it on your nachos and eat it. It’s a good way of deterring people without long-term harm,” said ex-Border Patrol deputy chief Ron Colburn, who served under President George W. Bush.

Colburn, speaking on “Fox & Friends,” decried what he called a “core of violence” among the hundreds of Central American asylum seekers, a number of whom stormed the border at Tijuana, prompting Border Patrol agents to force them back.

The migrants, he said, had a “sense of entitlement,” and the use of tear gas, which also affected women and children as it wafted on the breeze, was “absolutely” the right call.

But experts said that pepper spray wasn’t as harmless as Colburn suggested.

“There is no real scientific basis for the claim that OC [pepper] sprays are relatively safe,” according to a study from Duke University and the University of North Carolina reported in the Daily Beast.

“In fact, a number of reports have associated serious adverse sequelae, including death, with legitimate use, as well as misuse and abuse, of these sprays,” the authors wrote.

Human rights and immigration advocates called the use of pepper spray on women and children inhumane.

I suspect the photo above, which is clearly inside Mexico at the river (no U.S. tear gas canisters were launched into Mexico), was a smoke bomb or maybe tear gas, from Mexican law enforcement or Mexican protesters angry at the illegal Central Americans in their country?

How did this mother walk her children from Honduras without any shoes?


Dk, where should they go to live or die? You got a solution for a refugee single mother with Kids? What does hannity recommend they do? Just roll over and die? Will that make you happy?


Goat---------they managed to get this far. I suspect they will figure out how to get back!

A very unfortunate situation but maybe these people should not be rushing our border. It was quite a sight seeing them on the news channels rush through Mexico's southern border. Did Mexico say they were willing to take in these asylum seekers? :?:

Border Patrol official: You could put pepper spray on nachos



A former top Border Patrol official said Monday that the pepper spray used to stop migrants from forcing their way across the US border to seek asylum was so harmless, they could eat it on their nachos.

“It’s natural. You could actually put it on your nachos and eat it. It’s a good way of deterring people without long-term harm,” said ex-Border Patrol deputy chief Ron Colburn, who served under President George W. Bush.

Colburn, speaking on “Fox & Friends,” decried what he called a “core of violence” among the hundreds of Central American asylum seekers, a number of whom stormed the border at Tijuana, prompting Border Patrol agents to force them back.

The migrants, he said, had a “sense of entitlement,” and the use of tear gas, which also affected women and children as it wafted on the breeze, was “absolutely” the right call.

But experts said that pepper spray wasn’t as harmless as Colburn suggested.

“There is no real scientific basis for the claim that OC [pepper] sprays are relatively safe,” according to a study from Duke University and the University of North Carolina reported in the Daily Beast.

“In fact, a number of reports have associated serious adverse sequelae, including death, with legitimate use, as well as misuse and abuse, of these sprays,” the authors wrote.

Human rights and immigration advocates called the use of pepper spray on women and children inhumane.

and here is another perspective that I got from Ms. Saldaña's post on facebook:


What was the immediate economic impact of yesterday's border shut down:

"The San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce has done a great job of informing all of us about what's been going on at our border this week. Here's the update. Thank you, Jason M-b Wells. He writes in the latest chamber newsletter:

"Unfortunately, the US sending 5,000 troops to the border instead of 5,000 asylum petition processors, and the Mexican federal government ushering immigrants from Chiapas to Tijuana has left us no choice but focus on the short term.

"The closing of the San Ysidro Port of Entry yesterday was devastating to the over 700 business we represent.
The San Port of Entry was closed at approximately 11:30am yesterday. It was not re-opened until 5:10pm.

"Our businesses rely on 93% of customers coming from Mexico.

"75% of San Ysidro border area businesses closed for the day around 12pm noon.

"A large majority of San Ysidro's small businesses rely on the period of November 20-January 6 to make their profit for the entire year.

"Sunday's closure alone represents a $5.3 million loss, just from San Ysidro business. Other business, from Chula Vista, to National City, to San Diego and beyond were also affected.

"Action must be taken to avoid this happening again."

We know it ‘’tis the season when the middle class shopkeepers complain about the poor people cluttering the streets and obstructing their business, and demand that government clear the streets of the homeless, the refugees, the teaming masses yearning o be free. Count on the shopkeepers to be motivated by greed during this holiday shopping season.

Let’s put this in perspective. The shopkeepers are USA citizens, mostly. The USA has waged numerous wars overseas and created untold millions of refugees that streamed into neighboring countries, inconveniencing millions of shopkeepers,... and the San ysidro merchants are going to complain.
I compare the refugee camps and chaos in Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, countless parts of Africa - to the minor disruption in San ysidro. The San ysidro shopkeepers got nothing to complain about. STFU!
The San ysidro shopkeepers should think about the millions of refugees their government created when they bombed Iraq for WMDs that were fiction.

the USA is today dealing with problem of refugees fleeing Central America - and the problems in Central America have their root in the USA’s control of Central America over the past 150 years. The USA supported a string of strong man dictators in Central America, and squashed democracies. The USA waged gun boat diplomacy. The USA propped up numerous dictator at the request of big business (fruit companies, oil companies, miners).
USA: you created the problems in Central America, you fix them!

The shopkeepers should ask their elected leaders why did they flock up Central America?

This is really all Spain’s fault. Those brutal conquistadores came and ruined those beautiful and peaceful countries to the south. Then the flourishing indigenous peoples of those lands were dispossessed by the influx of European exploiters who further suppressed the locals all the way up through Mexico. We should turn our attention to the true suppressors of the abused and demand compensation and free entrance to those nations who originally robbed the countries south of our border!!
And by the way, we should all demand that Goat man be thrown from his property and that said property in San Diego be returned to Mexico the rightful original owners…no wait I suppose the NATIVE AMERICANS who have tolerated 666 abusing their land be given the nice warm home he squats on illegally.:wow:

Gotta agree with 666 on this one. If Trump had just sent more folks to process legal asylum requests, and maybe put those applicants in camps (like the 5,500+ children in Texas) we wouldn't need armed troops, gas deterrent, nor border closures. But, those videos will be priceless come 2020 campaigns, for both sides.

At least the US wouldn't look like a bunch of xenophobic nut cases to the rest of the world.

That's a little myopic, to say the least. IF history is only a couple of hundred years gone by...well o.k.
Actually, we are only a small part of a succession of intruders that included Mexico at one time (probably the shortest) of 'invaders'.
World history is a cosmos of self-serving interests and repetitive schemes acted upon. If you want to pay for right-ing the 'wrongs' of the past, go ahead and join the goat in his endeavour to shame us into your desires.
Some of us are inclined to secure the present, from the mistakes of the past. I don't lose sleep like you and goat, sitting in your warm abode, on others historical demise, within our borders; and I won't lose sleep over the same without.
Give up what you have gained from such, and then I might consider giving up mine.

Instead of making so many follow up posts in this thread to to caravan, you should instead take the time to understand the vague Mexico offer put in the press, and the United States legal obligations under international law in regards to asylum cases.

On this forum there are many members who jump up and down and say always say follow the law and get the FMM even if you drive over the border and stay one day in a border town.

Where is that same attitude towards the United States and the caravan migrants? Where are the call to President Trump, to follow the laws?

Mexico's outgoing President Nieto, offered a vague temporary offer of IDs and work permits, but only if the migrants stayed in Chiapas, another extremely poor part of Mexico, and not too many jobs and probably no job that offered a living wage.

There is nothing in US or International law that says the caravan migrants had to accept that vague Mexican temporary offer, although it's more peaceful in Mexico. Migrants have human rights to demand a better life.

The United States, is obligated by law to allow the migrants apply for asylum. What the Trump administration, is doing is playing games, by dragging it's feet and is processing less than 100 asylum cases a day, and in some cases, I read they are processing less than 10 cases or no claims on some days.

The President is doing this for political gain, thinking wrongly that it's going to help him get funding for the wall, that he said two years ago, he was going to make Mexico, pay for the wall. Trump, tried and failed to change the immigration laws by executive order, and so because he is mad, he takes it out on the poor migrant asylum seekers.

Anybody could have predicted the caravan migrants, would try to crash the border, when the United States, is not living up it's obligations under International law, to allow the migrants to apply for asylum.

Drzura, nobody is breaking into your home, you don't own the United States, nor are the immigration laws the same as home owners rights.

This is called taking out your wide paint brush and painting all undocumented immigrants, as criminals, drunks, and killers.

I think it's rather sad, but also sadly the President, does this all the time to even legal Mexican or Hispanic immigrants.

NOPE! This is something that is reported daily where a US citizen runs someone over someone and then leaves the scene...yet when it concerns an illegal, released criminal, the media hides the truth.
Of course, that doesn't fit your obvious agenda. So you disallow the truth also.

BajaTed - 11-27-2018 at 11:13 AM

Asset or liability, its that simple.
Give all the asylum folks ankle monitors.
Hire some temporary judges.
Do your best to assimilate and become an asset to our country in the meantime.
State your case for asylum and prove you are now an asset.

There never was and will be an equivalent of Ellis Island for southern border immigrants. The Southwest was part of Mexico, there was a war that we started because of manifest destiny, been dealing with it since then.

Imigration policy was decided by the indegionus people in 1585.
The indians clearly stated to the migrants of Roanoke. If you were not born here, you can not live here. 2 children were conceived on the voyage. The indians killed all the migrants, all but 4. The indians returned 13 years later and killed the parents. The 2 children were left to roam the woods.

Sarah, the youngest girl on the Mayflower recorded this in her diary. She married one of them, the first Gringo of european descent.

How about taking care of the millions of US legal citizens who are homeless, have no medical insurance , live on EBT help, and have worked to pay for these programs before considering admitting thousands who have no means of supporting themselves? How about imposing the same requirements as Mexico for proving income and not becoming a liability before being allowed to immigrate to Mexico. There aren’t enough resources in this country to support all of the worlds poor that simply want a better life. There is an orderly process and must be limited to a quota that can be handled in approving asylum. These are many who have followed this process and have been pushed to the back of the line. How about a program that enables those willing to sponser an immigrant and personally guarantee their support? This would weed out those who want to spend others money on the free programs.

In San Ysidro on monday the 26th I saw a girl from Honduras. Working at a restaurant, and learning english quickly. I know she just got there because she is paper thin and so very cute.

Not a problem, 65 inches tall and 22 inches around the waste, if that. Cute, healthy, smart.
No line for her.
The 5 by 5 lady can go home. 5 feet tall 5 feet around, 5 by 5. Yea, no. She dont like beans and tacos, remember she complained about the free food, on the same day I ate beans and tomatoes, well alright, I also cut a red onion into the pan.

"How about a program that enables those willing to sponsor an immigrant and personally guarantee their support? This would weed out those who want to spend others money on the free programs."

I sought out a way to do this in 2006. We have sponsored a family since 1997 in Guatemala. Wife and I met the father in the jungle around Peten back then. Never faltered at meeting their basic needs financially to stay where they are.

Just published a book about how I lost my construction job to illegal immigrants in the 70's and my struggle to lose the animosity over that. Titled "Through The Eyes Of Juan" (the father in Peten).

It is now available at my website 'Shadowspath.net' and every penny from those sales will help support this family in Guatemala as my wife and I retire.

It's an easy read with pictures...perfectly suitable for a rainy day and a margarita! :D

It is now available at my website 'Shadowspath.net' and every penny from those sales will help support this family in Guatemala as my wife and I retire.

It's an easy read with pictures...perfectly suitable for a rainy day and a margarita! :D


Hello, the caravan and migrants, is about asylum, and the extreme dangers and lack of opportunity in their home countries that the United States, helped make worse by many ways.

This is not to say that the majority of migrants will get asylum, as each case is looked at individually, however, with this racist Trump administration, the chances of being granted asylum in the US is very very slim.

If you want to talk about regular immigration laws into the US, where the odds are stacked against Hispanic immigrants, again with this racist administration that wants to favor English speaking immigrants, ( white immigrants) that's another subject.

Please stop with ridiculous programs about sponsoring an immigrant and guaranteeing their support.

How is that going to work on a large scale seeing that most people do things for their own personal interest only. How is that going to work if you don't know anybody in the US to sponsor you?

Who wrote the book, " Through The Eyes Of Juan?" I don't even see it on Amazon.

It must not be a very good book, and in the 70's, undocumented Mexican workers was not a big problem, so if anybody is blaming undocumented Mexican workers for their lack of work in the 70's, is a loser, and he is engaged is scapegoating Mexicans.

Obama gas good. Atta boy

Yeah buddy


DaliDali, I looked through a few of your links, which some of those links are indeed dubious, like the "Washington Times, " although I'm sure the Obama, administration border patrol, probably used tear gas before, because after all the border patrols, is mainly made up by a bunch of jack booted thugs, who washed out from becoming real cops. So these guys are bad in any administration, although in Obama's last years, he pretty much put a muzzle on the Border patrol, and stopped them from deporting non criminal undocumented Mexican workers.

However, DaliDali, looking through your links, and photos, I don't see one case where the Border Patrol, was using tear gas on migrant women and children.

So if you want to claim the Obama administration did the same thing, you need to show a photo or article where the US border patrol, used tear gas on women and children.......that's the outrage that it was done on young children.

BTW DaliDali, your President who you love so much, denied tear gas was used on child migrants despite pictures, video.

Later Trump, lied again, and said, " ‘a very minor form of the tear gas itself’’ was used.

Hey DaliDali, there is no such thing as a very minor form of tear gas.

The real reasons that trump and gop oppose immigrants from central america are:
People of color dont vote gop because gop platform is bigoted/white nationalist
White people are afraid of brown people
Immigrants have better work ethic than lazy white people, so taking jobs away from lazy white people

Did or did not, the Obama admin CBP/ICE use gas and pepper spray or not?

It is really that easy.


Users of tear gas don't select one individual(s) to target, but rather an "area" where crowd control needs are present.
The gas drifts with the breeze and may affect many people in the "plume"


There are two versions of "tear gas"......a CS version and a CN version.
CS gas is far more potent that CN.

Perhaps Trump was eludiing to CN gas as "minor" form of that gas.
Unless you have absolute proof that the CBP used the form CS as the gas agent, Trump may very well be correct with "minor"


Dubious links....ok got that.

Like I said......Obama gas and pepper spray ok good atta boy.
Trump gas.......bad bad let's hang him.

Immigration stats prove you wrong Joe.....

12 out of the 15 top countries whence immigrants come from, are NOT English speaking (white immigrants)

Immigration laws and their applications on who is eligible and who is not is the same.....
A requirements of a person from Viet Nam seeking to immigrate to the US is EXACTLY the same as for a person from Guatemala

DaliDali, you are still missing the boat. The fact that the Border Patrol, may have used tear gas on adult migrants is not the issue.

The issue, and world wide outrage, is that Trump's Border Patrol, used tear gas on women and children.

Do you understand DaliDali? It's about woman and children, just like in war, the war crimes start when women and children are attacked.

So in order for you to make an apple and apple comparison between the Trump, and The Obama, administration regarding tear gas, you need to show where under the Obama, administration tear gas was used on women and children.

According to the reporters and video, the women and children, were down in the river bed, and the border patrol, lobbed the tear gas canisters carelessly over to the Mexico side of the border. I'm surprised that Mexico, didn't lodge an official complaint.

Now had the Trump administration, apologized for gassing women and children, and said, they didn't account for the blowing wind, and would never do this again, they may have been forgiven, but instead Trump, and his administration, defended the use of tear gas, and they tried to down play the danger.

Here is the border patrol commission saying there is only 1 kind of gas. I take that to mean there is only 1 kind of tear gas in the border patrol arsenal, and it's very dangerous and can even lead to death.
_______________

Border commissioner: Only 1 kind of tear gas

I'm talking about Trump's new immigration policy dreamed up by racist Stephen Miller, and two extreme hard line Senators, from the south, where racism against blacks, and Hispanics is very strong.

Of course it won't pass with a democrat Congress, but the hate exhibited towards immigrants, shows me why Trump is very popular among his base.

Donald Trump announces new immigration policy favouring financially stable English speakers

The legislation would drastically cut the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country

President Donald Trump is touting new legislation to overhaul the US immigration system, drastically cutting the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country and implementing a "merit-based" visa scheme.

If passed, the RAISE Act would cut the number of immigrants allowed into the United States by 50 per cent over the next 10 years. It would eliminate diversity lottery visas and crack down on so-called "chain immigration" – visas provided based on family connections, rather than jobs skills.

Mr Trump promoted the act alongside Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue on Wednesday, claiming it would "reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars".

Tried to make my post as simple as possible JJJ but you failed the test. Yup, if it was available on Amazon I would have told you so...but I did tell you where it was available and if you knew anything about Amazon publishing you would know it costs a percentage + to use their system for such.

I stated the purpose was to continue support for our Guatemala family. Prudence dictates I have a duty to seek a path that gleans the greatest return for them.

"Must not be a very good book" you said, do you rate things you know nothing about? Oh, yea you do. I won't say it's a good book...that is for the individual to determine. But you judge before knowledge and that is because you lack wisdom.

Some of us engage the people in the land we visit in a personal way, not over a glass of booze. We don't leave it up to the government or a church to do what we can do for the one standing in front of us where we are. We take it upon ourselves to stand up and assist those in need, where they and we are. That is what my book is about.

I provided where my book is available. I provided the cause for my book. I also have provided my real name on my website as the author. It's a true to life story of my understanding how someone from south of our border sees us, the US. It's a story of how an illegal immigrant changed my life.

By the way JJJ, it was a huge issue in the southwest in the late 70's. Your ignorance and irrational baseless musings are sad. I would suspect that your prejudicial biases are the strength of your existence.

I wrote the longest private editorial ever published in the San Diego Union when I (and my coworkers) were driven out of construction by the contractors hiring illegal immigrants. I appeared on the Roger Hedgec-ck radio show shortly after. My experience is documented and now published.

Read and then critique. If you dare;)

JoeJustJoe - 11-28-2018 at 12:07 PM

Lets give a few of you, especially Gnukid, something to cheer about, because Gnukid, posted about Miriam Celaya, aka frijole lady, a few pages back in this thread.

Celaya, was caught trying to cross over the border, and was arrested.

I don't blame her, because after she made her negative comments about beans, she received death threats, and she had to do something.

I'm not offended by her comments about beans. I myself, don't like central American food, so if she doesn't like a Mexican stable food of beans, that's understandable, and she apologized for her remarks.

What I find racist is non-Mexicans calling her the frijole lady.
_____________________

Miriam Celaya, the migrant who refused beans, is detained

Miriam Celaya was arrested on Sunday after trying to cross from Tijuana to the United States illegally with the caravan of immigrants coming from Central America

After revealing that Miriam Celaya was under shelter in a shelter, it was learned that the Honduran migrant known as "reject" a dish of beans, is in a detention center in the United States.
