Hiring of illegal immigrants provokes faceoff in Upland

By Sue Doyle Staff Writer

UPLAND - Holding signs that read "It's un-American to hire illegals," about 20 protesters on Saturday faced 20 others carrying signs with the words "Immigrants support the U.S. economy." The four-hour rally, in front of the Day Labor Hiring Center at 8547 Grove Ave., drew protesters who said their demonstration was against employers who hire illegal immigrants and others with opposing views.

As Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." played, many carried American flags and dangled their signs in front of them as cars passed by. Some drivers honked car horns in recognition.

"We are protesting the hiring," said Dee Barrow, 77, Upland. "We feel illegals would stop coming here if they would stop hiring them."

So, poor people come from Mexico to prop up the American economy?

Did someone fail a logic class here?

I guess one shouldn't be surprised anymore these days since so many P.D.'s all across our nation have entered into an unconscious conspiracy to ignore the law of the land and give safe haven to these law breakers and even our highest elected official willingly advocates anarchy by deliberately choosing to violate our nations immigration laws. How convoluted our times have become. I rather suspect that our time as a sovereign nation is short indeed.
