TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Migrants approaching the U.S. border from Mexico were enveloped with tear gas Sunday after a few tried to breach the fence separating the two countries.

U.S. agents shot the gas, according to an Associated Press reporter on the scene. Children were screaming and coughing in the mayhem.

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.

"We ran, but when you run the gas asphyxiates you more," she told the AP while cradling her 3-year-old daughter Valery in her arms.

I know the difference...I just needed to lash out and I'm sorry. I feel so helpless. And so angry!

These thugs aren't America. They merely have the run of the country for the moment.

For the moment.

A place not only where children are seperated from their parents, not only where we mass deport parents from their children, not only where cheap labor takes advantage of undocumented immigrants, but we also fire tear gas in densely crowds of families with children.

January 3rd can’t get here soon enough. This will be investigated.
