RED BANK, N.J. — Hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump held a rally in a New Jersey town late Monday afternoon to show their support for the new administration and their opposition to a nearby borough’s consideration of becoming a sanctuary city.
Some Trump supporters ended their rally in nearby Red Bank on the steps of Borough Hall as a committee meeting to discuss the issue was called to order on Monday night. They were met by hundreds of Hispanics who have made the borough their home.
“I feel strong that we have to support our president … Although I welcome immigrants who are legal, we have to protect our borders. To be a country, we have to have borders.”
Red Bank, a borough in New Jersey, is the latest to consider sanctuary city status or other protections for undocumented residents. The meeting room, which held 150 people according to police, was packed within minutes. Approximately 500 people were outside and could not gain admittance.
The supporters of sanctuary status in the crowd held signs that read, “Love Trumps Hate”, “We Are All Immigrants”, “No Human is Illegal” and “Don’t Tear Families Apart.”
Those rallying for Trump and against Red Bank’s consideration of a sanctuary policy all told LifeZette before the meeting they were in favor of secure borders and Trump’s policies in the first month.
“I’m here to support our President Trump,” said Ellen Hausmann of Aberdeen. She said she liked that Trump supports all law enforcement officers, veterans and secure borders. “All the rhetoric and the lies everyone is telling about him … the Democrats are trying to block him. They have to stop whining.” Hausmann said she has been a lifelong Democrat before she voted for Trump and is now switching parties.

Red Bank is almost adjacent to Rumson, one of the richest and most exclusive neighborhoods in the nation. There are many mansions and multimillionaires there, including Bruce Springsteen. I would encourage all the Illegal Invaders to go to Rumson.
Why doesn’t Bruce take them in? They can live with him.
