This whole thing is a nonstory. Geez, you'd think tear gas was comparable to mowing them down with M4s the way the media is going on about it. They were rushing the border in an attempt to commit a crime and the least lethal available method was used for control. Give me a break!

NO ONE cares. Tear gas is much less cruel than actual hand-to-hand conflict which will happen if they try to break through! We MUST protect our Border Patrol and military!
