Trump was making a big show of defending the imaginary line in the dirt specifically for his own propaganda purposes. Why do you think there were people to launch tear gas in the first place? And this was a small group from the migrant caravan, the majority of which had changed course. What is the "rushed the border"argument about? people want to cross quickly. And I can't blame them if they did throw objects at the border patrol thugs, which is as far as I know is thus far just an assertion made by those thugs.

Right now they can have asylum by approaching an agent at the border and claiming asylum. I acknowledge trumps show of force but those poor folks who hiked an extra 5oo miles to rush the border at Tijuana’s port of entry were either really stupid or had there own agenda. Hell trump could even be the ones paying them. I’m just saying they had an agenda.
Could be a perfectly good reason to go for that port of entry. What's on the other side of Tijuana again? Oh, right, a major US city in a state with a significant Hispanic population and a government that could be perceived as more immigrant-friendly than, say, Texas.
