U.S.-Mexico border reopens after clash with migrants prompts five-hour closure
The San Diego Union Tribune ^ | Staff

Posted on 11/25/2018 6:01:25 PM PST by EliRoom8

The U.S.-Mexico border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry was closed in both directions for more than five hours on Sunday after hundreds of migrants rushed the area, prompting federal authorities to launch tear gas in an apparent attempt to get the group to disperse.

The confrontation highlights the escalating tensions along the border as thousands of migrants from Central America poured into Tijuana in recent weeks seeking asylum to enter the U.S. President Trump has pushed to keep any migrants in Mexico as they await the immigration process.

"One lumberhead wanted us to use snipers! As if that were somehow needed for an incident which tear gas sent them running for the tall grass in short order."

Exactly right. Just stock up on tear gas and continue to use it liberally until these gate crashers get the hint. No need for snipers, machine guns, napalm, A-10's or any other of the ridiculous ideas being tossed out here on FR.

"I’m trying to imagine what the corrupt Democrats in D.C. and their close media associates would do with that."

It would play right into their hands of course. Even the fact that all these keyboard Rambos are posting that crap all over FR is bad enough. I makes conservatives look like idiots.

I don’t even like to hear about using that ADS thing that’s supposed to make people feel like they are burning up.

Every time someone mentions that I think of the death ray from Atlas Shrugged.

Absolutely no need for anyone to even go there. As we are seeing, this thing can be handled with low tech resources and patience. We have the upper hand here as long as the President stands firm.

Yep, I could just see what Acosta and the corrupt Democrat media and D.C. leftist stooges would have to say about napalm and snipers. We’d be hearing about it for the next several decades after they impeached Trump. Comments like these and others makes me wonder who’s side are these people really on?

Those damned flux capacitors always seem to go out at the most inconvenient times! Can’t we get them made in the US rather than that cheap Chinese junk?

No way there were 20,000 storming the border.There were not 5,000 storming the border, a few hundred men who played ball on the driveway in because they were so bored.Saw live video.

How many more American citizens have to die at the hands of these illegals before we get to use snipers or any other type of deadly force to stop this BS?

Whats the number?

The fact is snipers could stop this problem in a heart beat but by all means lets throw tear gas put up razor wire make a big show of it - meanwhile they are sneaking through everyday.

Spare us the false compassion - why should Americans die when these animals could be stopped easily with the use of deadly force. The keyboard Rambos aren't crazy - you are. You care more about the agiprop CNN will produce than keep Americans safe. That's nuts

Before this is all over, people on both sides of the border will be begging for a wall.

Stop the BS drama. Nobody died in this incident. And they ran like they were on fire when exposed to tear gas. Here's a big tip for ya, no one is going to use napalm, snipers or A-10s in these types of incidents. Ferget it. And there was no need to do so, no matter how much you demand it.

Thousands of Americans have been murdered by illegal immigrants how many more before this is stopped what’s the number? It’s not just this incident this is just the latest round. This didn’t just start with the carvan but it could be ended with it. Shoot the bastards. Or stop pretending we are trying to solve the problem

Look slick, my comment you responded to was regarding this incident. Read back. Not talking about the history of government sponsored and supported open borders. Get it right.

“To be really credible, I’d prefer a 24 hour closure.”

i imagine that would be next if the five-hour closure doesn’t get the attention of the Mexican government ... my guess is the brief closure is enough to prompt effective action by the Mexican government ... at this point, the entire international community knows that Trump isn’t someone who puffs and bluffs and postures, but really does mean business and does NOT bluff ... unlike every useless President we’ve had for the last 30 years ...

I’m not trusting their overnight security at that crossing at all.

well, yeah, i agree that tear gas is likely going to be sufficient.

but-but-but ... i would LOVE to see us employ the reputed “poop ray” that the israeli’s apparently have.
