We let in over 1 million immigrants each year and close to 50,000 refugees each year. The majority of immigrants let into the country are Mexican. We are not against "brown people" coming to this country legally. We were evaluating the cases of those people, but they decided they couldn't wait and so instead they rushed the border. The police their do not have the man power to deal with that many potentially violent people directly so it's better to use a deterrent, like tear gas, to get people away rather than by physical means which could put the officers in harms way.
What do you think of the Caravan trying to enter the US
