American flagship media outlets are decrying the use of tear gas by border agents against members of the “caravan” trying to rush the U.S. border. The Washington Post headline proclaims, Tear Gas: Border agents launch chemical weapons banned in warfare. By now you’ve presumably seen the video one way or another. Hundreds of would-be illegal immigrants tried to tear down part of the ramshackle barrier near the border crossing at San Ysidro, throwing rocks and pieces of concrete at border officers as they went. Some officers were injured, others hit but not harmed due to protective gear. Official vehicles were hit and damaged.
What were they to do? Stand aside like the Mexican police did at the Guatemalan border and let the flood commence?
This, according to the network pundits we can no longer stand to watch, is just an indication of racist meanness and a lack of empathy for “people of color” on the part of President Trump.
We saw women with barefoot children in tow, dressed only in diapers and tee shirts, darting about the cloud of tear gas with at least four photographers capturing images that have gone “viral” and are used to demonstrate what’s really going on.
Records show that tear gas was used to repel border crashers repeatedly during the Obama era, but somehow there was no media outcry. There was no outrage over “chemical weapons” unleashed on unarmed civilians in nearly seventy separate episodes under Obama.
While coverage remains affixed to the squalid “humanitarian crisis” in Tijuana, at least a few thousand per week are still pouring across the southern borders of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Some are caught, “processed” and released with a court hearing scheduled a couple years hence. Ankle bracelets are simply cut off, and the aliens won’t be seen again until they show up fighting police after being pulled over in a stolen car. Ever watch Live PD? Though the hosts never seem to notice, a high percentage of police calls inevitably deal with wild-eyed foreigners willing to fight to the finish to avoid apprehension.
But the media are out in full force covering the daily standoff of the “caravan” that “poses no threat to the citizens of the United States.”
The fact is that the border battle was quietly lost during recent decades. No doubt, many are here as laborers “doing the work that Americans won’t,” we’re constantly lectured. On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of crimes, robberies and thefts have been committed and we’ll probably never know the extent of debt that’s been run up to fund social programs for illegals. But where will all these desperately poor, unskilled and uneducated people go and what will they do here in the U.S.? They need everything. Food, shelter, clothing, medical attention and so on. Even that won’t be satisfactory, so many will join a gang and traffic contraband or steal whatever is not nailed down. It’s their version of the American dream.
Stats show that thirty percent of the U.S. prison population is Hispanic, largely gang-affiliated. When you look at the sea of humanity the width of a traffic lane, stretching to the horizon and beyond and they tell us it is seven or eight thousand on their way, and then try to visualize the figure of 22 million a recent government report claims are already here, it boggles the mind.
We are witnessing the method Sixties revolutionaries envisioned to “overload the system” to the point of government collapse. That’s how they dreamed of overthrowing capitalism, and it just might work. The dream of Columbia University professors Cloward and Piven is in full swing.
Don’t believe it? Look it up.
