ALHAMBRA, Calif. Protesters on both sides of the immigration debate faced off peacefully today outside a Home Depot in Alhambra Many undocumented immigrants often wait for work there, and several dozen protesters from the group Save Our State gathered to demonstrate against them.

They were met with a much larger group that opposes policies against illegal immigrants. San Gabriel Neighbors Peace and Justice says the immigrants should be left alone because they are simply seeking honest work.

Save Our State members say they are not against immigrants. Some of them are immigrants themselves. They accused Home Depot support illegal immigrants by allowing undocumented laborers to stand outside their stores.

Home Depot said in a statement it does not support illegal immigration but can't stop workers from standing near its stores.

Alhambra used to be a quaint, lovely little community, very close-knit. Everybody knew each other...think "American Graffiti." Now I don't even recognize the town I grew up in.

Sad Alhambra BTTT. Go Moors!

Good morning.

From the pictures, I would say this was more a case of communists and Mexican racialists protesting than immigrants.

What is that red and black flag? I seem to remember it from somewhere.

If this Home Depot were used by American citizens to buy boot-legged cigarettes or booze, the ATF would be all over them with guns and handcuffs for not paying the proper taxes.

Home Depot says it can't stop workers from standing near its stores, not true;

The home depot near where I live there are many illegal immigrants out on the property premise, and not just nearby off of their property as they claim here.

The shopping center has hired a full time security guardnot keep the illegal immigrants away, but just to police to keep them from defecating, drinking, breaking into cars or other crimes that have been occurring as a result of the lawlessness these people bring.

In a twist to make ones blood boil, I actually witnessed the security guard at the shopping center, who he himself may even be an illegal immigrant threaten a US citizen one day to remove a bicycle which the had been parked in front of the store. He told the patron to park the bike out in the street on public property where there were dozen of other bicycles parked by the illegal immigrants. So not only are they allowing these illegal immigrants to be on their property they taking away the rights US citizens who would shop at these stores as if we had the same status of an illegal immigrant!

This home depot has turned our neighborhood into nothing more than a -red light district-, satellite community of Tijuana!

"Home Depot said in a statement it does not support illegal immigration but can't stop workers from standing near its stores."

Not only does it support Illegal Aliens, it also openly supports one of the biggest Anti-American/Anti-non-Mexican organizations around,"La Raza".And the only reason it even comes out with "We support the Troops" stunts is because it is trying to cover up it's anti-American policies(Remember the Libs also use the "We support the Troops", line).

Very interesting. The Loons are claiming that the conservatives are racist hate groups yet I saw only Chicano y Chicana faces in our side but I sure saw a lot of wild butt honkies on the other side.

"From the pictures, I would say this was more a case of communists and Mexican racialists protesting than immigrants."

I agree, the sad thing is that this movement is gaining popularity because they are using deception by the race card. These people want to force out landowners out and business out of the state by raising property taxes, and other taxes to re- distribute wealth as to be providing a type of marxwst service to the peasants from Mexico.

They make the rally cry that these people have full right to our wealth, which cannot be oppressed since they hide behind race as the false issue. When any US citizen do oppose this political takeover we are called racist which further incites more blind support on the socialists side, whom are really the ones that are the racists since they only want the distribution of wealth to people of only one skin color.

We should not be so naïve to think that communists from Cuba, or our other enemies, China, North Korea, or the Soviets are supporting this growing movement. Just remember how we took control of Afghanistan, we used the ethic movement to infiltrate control,not directly ourselves alone, we must be certain our enemies are trying these same tactics here on US soil. In any case, speculation put aside, our people need to wake up to this growing threat we have to our economic freedom in this democratic country !

They don't have to go to the other communist countries for support, Mexico and the PRI is controled by those that rely on Mao's little red book as their bible.

Mexico is and has been for decades a communist country in all but name.
