Story by Billal Rahman • 22h
Texas soldiers have fired pepper spray guns at a group of 45 migrants who illegally crossed the Mexican border into the U.S.
Footage shared on social media by NewsNation reporter Ali Bradley shows soldiers deploying the guns, which launch pepper balls that disperse on impact, at the undocumented citizens after they crossed the Rio Grande.
The migrants can can be seen covering their mouths and noses with their clothes to escape the irritants, at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.
Newsweek has contacted the Texas National Guard for comment outside of normal office hours.
Immigration and border security are among the top concerns for voters in the upcoming election.In a poll from October by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek, 68 percent of Americans say the federal government should adopt a more hardline approach on immigration.
