Immigration contrasts

As many of you know by now, I watch a lot of Fox news. but what many don't know is that I flip back and forth to CNN and MSNBC occasionally. Not because I'm trying to rot my brain but because I like to see the slant that they put on things. On Fox when they report something they tell you the source that it came from, they list names, there's no secrets. On CNN and MSNBC everything is always, a senior official or anonymous sources, they never tell you who. They could be just making up anything they want and say that it came from a high-ranking official. So the big thing now is the immigration crisis. They insist that the we are wrong because the Trump administration had them used teargas on all those poor defenseless people on the border. They never say anything about when President Obama, who wrote the law by the way allowing the use of tear gas on the border, did the same thing when he was in office. They also are making a big deal out of nothing. Mace and tear gas is used every single day of the year right here on our streets, by our law enforcement, on our citizens. If you step over the line or you break the law, that is the first piece of non-lethal force that you use. Depending on you it can escalate to tasers , baton use or lethal force.  If these people truly are fleeing persecution in Honduras , and they've traveled all this way to Tijuana, they should do the right thing. They apply for asylum,  remain in Mexico while their application is reviewed and either approved or denied. If you approach the border , you approach peacefully with your hands on your head stating that you're fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in the United States. You don't storm the gates and throw rocks at the agents and then expect them to sympathize with you. Also, if your country is persecuting you and you absolutely have to get away from their , why are you so proudly waving their flag for the whole world to see.
