Protesters with signs and American flags stunned a Temecula Wells Fargo bank when more than 40 protesters greeted arriving customers Saturday, December 11.
Protesters were posted on either side of the entrance/exit driveway and spilled out along the length of the sidewalk.
Signs and flags waved. Signs read:
*The Wells Fargo stagecoach is running across the border, illegally
*Did you know illegals bank here?
*Terrorists open accounts at Wells Fargo (the man with this sign dressed in a Middle Eastern costume)
Bank-goers gawked. Passing motorists honked. The Well Fargo management fumed.
Many Wells Fargo customers spoke to we protesters.
The banks that DO NOT accept the Matricula Consular ID, were listed on a flyer we had printed up, which we distributed. We spoke to customers, who approached us, about illegal aliens' usage of the Matricula Consular ID.
In short, we had the opportunity to educate the general public.
One bank manager frequently stood on the stoop of the bank, arms folded, scowling. A seasoned security guard eventually stood at attention at the bank doors.
We think it is safe to assume Wells Fargo was abuzz with talk of the protest!
Wells Fargo called the police.
An officer walked among us and told us to remain on the sidewalk, which we were, of course, doing. We were polite and courteous to the officer and told her we would comply with all laws. We thanked her.
Fifteen minutes later, Wells Fargo had another police officer come upon the scene. He too walked among us and told us we must remain on the sidewalk. And, again, we assured the officer we would follow all laws. We thanked him.
Our numbers were large enough that we fanned out and covered both sides of the street, as a Bank of America is across the street from Wells Fargo. So we were able to also protest in front of Bank of America too.
Eventually, five counter protests showed up with homemade signs. It was a local, fourth generation Mexican American family, a mother and her adult children, and two Non-Hispanic college students.
We protesters swarmed the counter protesters.
Interestingly enough, as the two groups mixed and calmed down and talked, we discovered we had much in common. The Hispanic family does not approve of MECHA. The Hispanic family, just like we protesters, stated American employers are promoting illegal immigration. The Hispanic family and we protesters agreed that both the Mexican and U.S. governments are to blame for illegal immigration.
The Hispanic family and we protesters found common ground and we ended up on friendly terms!
The protest was a great success. We will be holding future bank protests and will keep you posted on dates and locations. Hope you can join us!
It is not a few; most Americans favor tighter border control.
Perhaps we should just stick to the facts. The fact is, none of those 9-1-1 entered the US illegally. This time you can't blame the Mexicans, sorry.
No one blamed 9-11 on the Mexicans.
As an American Citizen, it is my business to know and stop those companies that support criminal activity in my country.
Wrong, 1 did.
The fact is illegal immigration has caused more death and destruction in this country then 9/11 ever did.
"Wrong, 1 did." Even our sheet wearing, anti-hispanic, pro-abortion, Margaret Sanger loving, eugenic friends over at FAIR have posting on their website that all were in the country legally.
"all of the hijackers who committed the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were foreigners. All of them entered the country legally on a temporary visa, mostly tourist visas with entry permits for six months. "

Hopefully then you donated to Tom Tancredo's opponent since he was using one to fix his mansion in Colorado.
Then what does 9-1-1 have to do with our border?
Nothing. Who brought it up?
FAIR is wrong.
1 on the 19 highjackers/terrorist did not enter on any visa, as the INS (now CBP) has no record of him ever entering the country.
I don’t recall the guys name off the top of my head, but I do know it’s true and it was reported in news. I’ll see if I can find the news story.
Nice spin. Do you work for the DNC?
First, the company he hired has already discounted that false story. The story was broken by his opponent in the election, who claimed to have spoken with the illegal aliens that claimed to have done the work.
After the story broke, the company came forward and stated it never happened, as the company was family owned and operated. Everyone in the family was born in the United States.
I really hope you're not the mastermind behind this.
Thanks for your concern but I know what I am doing and I have great back up.
Actually, that is what people told when I petitioned for Davis' recall.
Thanks for the list! The news was good here!
That's what Kiki Camarena said right before he was disappeared.
Maui, remember, this is the same group of sillies that thought they could take down David Drier. They did nothing but HELP Davis in his recall by their attacks on Arnold. Just another handful of marbles in the playpen of life.

How was Davis helped by being recalled?
