Immigrant mom never thought she’d have to pull children away from tear gas

The mother seen in a now-famous photo desperately pulling her daughters away from tear gas plumes at the US-Mexico border said she never imagined American forces would fire mace canisters at women and children.

“We never thought they were going to fire these bombs where there were children, because there were lots of children,” Maria Meza said in an interview with Reuters.

She was part of the hundreds of Central American migrants who approached the border, with some trying to storm the fence.

US Border Patrol agents began to fire tear gas canisters, and three landed around Meza and her kids.

“The first thing I did was grab my children,” Meza said from a Tijuana migrant shelter.

“I was scared, and I thought I was going to die with them because of the gas.”

“We never thought they were going to fire these bombs where there were children, because there were lots of children . . ."

We have "chemical weapons" and now "bombs" to describe tear gas. Who knew that the military used chemical weapons and bombs on us during training? Words mean nothing to the globalist left. Or is that everything? Anything?

Notice the professional videographer with expensive camera on a tripod in the upper right of that photo.

Coached much?

I came here to chew bubblegum and read fake news, and I’m all out of bubblegum.

On the road yesterday, I stopped at Love’s Travel Stop in Shartlesville, PA on 78 West.

In the Ladies were 3 dirty, nasty, ignorant females who looked just like this tribal woman.

They were using 2 of the 3 sinks, the soap dispensers and paper towels and the counter to wash themselves and a poop covered kid.

Today I am so sick with chills, fever, throat, cough, and I think my liver hurts.

Put them in tents or mud pueblos. They are not bright enough to live with civilized people.

Is that mean? Too bad.

Do I see a soccer ball just past the little girl in the blue shirt?

Or is that another "tear gas canister"?

Shartlesville. Now there is a name I haven’t heard in a very long time. Still carry five pounds of shoo-fly pie around my middle from eating at the Shartlesville Hotel in the early 70’s.

The coyotes issue those colored armbands. They tell them that is their admission ticket to the big welfare state up north.

I don’t really care, but more of a curiosity: what up with the diapers? Are they for convenience sake or does Elsa really have children that can walk barefoot from (insert s-hole country here) and are not toilet trained?

The press would sacrifice a child for “the cause” if they thought they would get away with it. It’s “the cause” above EVERYTHING.

Damn shame it wasn’t a few M67’s.
