PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A rally held on March 23 at Terry Schrunk Plaza in Portland called for the Trump administration to halt deportations and "keep families together". Organized by Portland Contra las Deportaciones and other activist groups, the event drew a crowd of all ages.

Omar Gil, an organizer for the group, emphasized the rally's purpose: "Keep protesting, keep demanding for an end to deportations, stop separating families. Standing up to Trump's racist agenda." He added, "People are scared but it's not time to hide, it's time to show up and show out. I think it's important to bolster and show the community there's no reason to be afraid, you have people standing behind you, people ready to support you."

Participants held signs urging an end to deportations orchestrated by the Trump administration.

Whereas a million people can show up to support life and it’s not covered.

Almost like the media attempts astroturf movements all the time.

Let’s just deport Portland. A wall would do it.

If we continue the deportations I wonder if the enthusiasm for illegal immigration may subside in the left and the vocal proponents like Mayors Wu and Frey get replaced by other loons, just loons who don’t push illegal immigration. So few people showing up in Portland could be a very telling sign

Other measures than deportation can be applied:
1. residence restriction, except for work, for invaders
2. excess income withholding on say more than $30,000 per year, refundable upon return to your native land, for up to say $50,000
3. not allowing you to drive on public roads

“Let’s just deport Portland. A wall would do it.”

Independent city states within the USA are another possibility.

“wall”

A financial wall could be constructed.

Surround Portland with a 50 foot high concrete wall, ship all illegals (and H-1Bs) there, and inform them that if any are ever seen outside the wall, they will be shot on sight.

Illegals and those who aid, abet and support them - and are monetarily benefiting from them - are extremely upset that their gravy train is being cut off - and it’s about time.

Just got my tax bill and I highly resent supporting these free loaders.

Ok. I was expecting more people and, frankly, better signs.

This demonstrates a level of desperation leading up to their announced ‘nationwide protest’ of April 5th...

...the results of which will prove interesting.

There are protests going on at this site nearly every week.
Only ABC would pay attention to it!
