Mexico's interior ministry said in a statement that a group of "nearly 500 migrants" had "tried to cross the border in a violent way".
Those identified as having taken part in these "violent events" would be deported immediately, it said.
The ministry added that, "far from helping their objectives", the migrants' actions had violated the legal migration framework and could have led to a "serious incident".More at the link but not much.
"We aren't criminals! We are hard workers," they chanted.What an incredible disconnect. We've heard this a thousand time. Of course they mean they're not criminals by nature, they don't murder, rob houses, jack cars, but they say this, and their supporters repeat this even as they break laws to enter a nation illegally. Illegally. That means breaking the law. That's criminal.
Well, not that law.
Just the laws that they agree with and see as legitimate.
