'Violent mob' repelled in attempt to storm U.S. border in San Diego
Washington Times, Jan 1, 2019, Stephen Dinan



A “violent mob” of illegal immigrants tried to ring in the new year by rushing the border in California, and Border Patrol agents fired tear gas at them to repel the incursion, Homeland Security officials said Tuesday.

About 150 people were involved in the attempt to climb over and burrow under a section of border fence in San Diego on New Year’s Eve night. After they were blocked, one group grew more combative, firing rocks over the border to try to hit agents.

The Border Patrol fired tear gas, smoke and pepper spray rounds at the group of rock-throwers, said Customs and Border Protection.

The migrants said they were part of the caravan of people from Central America who arrived at the border over the last couple of months, escalating what had already been a strained border security regime.

“Once again we have had a violent mob of migrants attempt to enter the United States illegally by attacking our agents with projectiles,” said Katie Waldman, a Homeland Security spokeswoman. “The agents involved should be applauded for handling the situation with no reported injuries to the attackers.”

Reuters reports that clouds of the noxious gas could be seen wafting up from around the fence at the border. One migrant picked up a canister and threw it back into U.S. territory.

More than 150 Central American migrants approached an area of the border in Tijuana in the Playas neighborhood near the beach late on Monday.

    Migrants said they thought security measures might be relaxed due to the New Year’s holiday.

    U.S. security personnel fired tear gas into Mexico after midnight as some migrants prepared to climb a border fence, according to the Reuters witness. During a second attempt, migrants began to pass youths and children over the razor wire along the fencing to the U.S. side.

No doubt this was planned and the press was given advance notice to be on hand so to spin this in the migrants favor.

Meanwhile Paul Ryan leaves the House, to begin his new $even figure lobbying job.

Fellow Republicans repeatedly selected him, to lead their majority numbers.

The question remaining,, is what to name the next version of theater:

-- "Contract with America"

--  "Tea Party"

They just want asylum.

Good job, Border Patrol.
Do what you gotta do.
