So stop being a part of that. Read shit. Understand shit.
TLDR is for partial illiterates.

Just imagine running a couple of miles on a warm day in quilted trousers and top, gas mask on, feet and hands covered in rubber. Then taking it all off other than the mask and getting in the chamber.

I believe that there is always a truth and a lie. Well, in this case, a correct way to solve the problem and an erratic one. So, the fact that we are still arguing means that something is missing. We are missing points, details, points of view, versions, whatever. All the time I see that someone mentions a problem and based on that generalizes a little bit in order to fit a bold, practical for some but unacceptable for others, solution. Then, some other guy comes saying how atrocious would be what the first guy proposed because of whatever humane reasons or he says that it would bring new problems which is unfair for some people. Then there is this guy saying that those people live wonderfully compared to the less fortunate living in less developed countries and so on. This keeps going as more and more people ignore problems others highlight, and bring new ones. Constantly offering ultimately unfair and subjective solutions to these problems while undermining and popping up more problems out of others' solutions. The only way this can be settled is by forgetting about the problem-solution thinking and start putting all the possibilities together. We need to start admitting there are all these problems out there and put importance to every single one of them, not forgetting about one of them because solving it would cause another problem that affects you more than others. First, we put all the issues together, then, we use CAPITALISM, BUSINESS, CREATIVENESS to solve them. If there is a problem, there is a demand for something. Young, creative minds (or whoever wants to do it) should come up with ways to address this issues. Thy should become entrepreneurs using these ideas, and look for fundraising and loans from the rich. USE TECHNOLOGY to ingeniously and profitably solve problems in new exciting ways. This ends up being good for business and therefore, the economy. A better economy means more business if the population is encouraged (by government's lack of restrictions and rewards programs). More business means a more demand for jobs. This can easily and quickly be filled with the constant inflow of immigrants. Some ideas for you: investigate how students of all types perform in different learning environments, make a study of how people learn more efficiently considering all aspects possible (psychology is in by the way). Finally, with all this data, make a new, innovative, more efficient educational system. This would mean a more educated population, which would mean more success and creativity. In order to feel inspired to solve the world's many problems, these educated people need to see the not only the issues inside but also outside the country. This is something the educational system could work on. Also, we would need to create a branch of education focused on fast-learning for immigrants. This one would have to be cheap enough for them to afford it, or maybe we could create a new "debt" system through which immigrants could get their masters and later on pay all the effort back. Yes, scholarships and grants have this role, but there are still so many that want to study but do not find the money to do it, especially immigrants. This way we could educate every one effectively and fast, including newcommers. The educational system would teach them to be intrepid entrepreneurs that would solve new problems through business instead of by asking the government to do something, and efficient workers that would constantly fill the positios offered by the ever increasing demand for jobs. What does all this add up to? Better economy based on innovation, better educatiuonal system that truly prepares the youth and the immigrants for the future, humanitarian natial policy due to acceptance of all, less fear (business dedicated to inventig new gadgets for the police and defense department that would increase security enough to not fear hazardous people comming from other countries), and little by little, a pioneer, elite society. There you go, one small idea for you to consider. Seems simple enough, lol.

I did not get the tear gas fun in the Navy. Instead I got pepper spray.
It sucked because I had to stand a five hour watch right after it.
Not fun if you have sunburn plus lingering pepper spray. That stuff is hard to get off.

So if you're a member of the caravan, especially a child, the CS gas must have really sucked. They've been exposed to the elements for over a month. It must have hurt like fuck and it's not like they have showers.....

I am sure it did, although tear gas is a gas, not something that sticks to you.
But yes it surely sucked. But also sucked less than other options.
But yeah, parents who brought their children into the situation could almost certainly be charged with reckless endangerment.
Imagine if shooting broke out. Kids could have died.
Do not drag you kids into a riot against the Border Patrol.
Though actually the Border Patrol handled this much nicer than some other organizations might have.
