With such shocking, gruesome and gripping images of families being tear-gassed by the border, many Americans are infuriated at seeing such horrible treatment of human beings, at the hands of the US government. At the end of November, a group of migrants of which included many young children and women was tear gassed at the Mexico border. These actions have caused Americans to question the authority of both President Donald Trump and the border patrol agents at the Mexican border.

With the recent advent of a migrant caravan consisting of 7500 individuals from countries such as Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, border patrol has been on high alert. US Customs and Border Protection defended their actions saying that their personnel had been assaulted with stones by the migrants, forcing them to take action with tear gas and pepper spray balls.
