As a citizen of the United States,I hereby condemn the actions taken today at the U.S. border in San Ysidro, the firing of tear gas by Border Patrol at migrant women & children. I call for Donald Trump to be held responsible for crimes against humanity.

So the people who broke down a boarder wall and tried to run into America illegally , should have been handed a American visa and a spot on the and some free money ?

No, but they should be allowed to apply for asylum at the border, in compliance with US and international law.

NO NO NO you do not storm a country and then ask for asylum. Come into this country the way they should. NONE of them look like they have traveled as far as it said they did.

Lies Lies and More Lies: Like so many other statements this president makes, this statement is pure fiction! 1. The story was not “phony” unless "phony" is Trump-speak for accurate! 2. He did not have the same policy as the Obama Administration!https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1066873981293260801 …

The Obama Administration never had such a policy! The pictures of children in holding areas were of unaccompanied minors who were being sheltered by the US gov… not of children who came here with their parents! THESE CHILDREN WERE NOT SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS!pic.twitter.com/W4R9dx34Yw

In fact the Obama admin used family detention facilities, allowing the whole family to stay together while awaiting their deportation case! Obama admin also released families on electronic tether as opposed to keeping them in detention while their court case was pending!pic.twitter.com/TpX8Asoie6
