Hey immigration apologists, explain this from the Greeley Tribune:

The crowd has begun to die down since the morning. The scene has been sometimes tense, but police have had some success in calming them down.
Andres Guerrero, who teaches Spanish at Aims Community College, joined the protesters. He said, “In ten years we’re going to take over the southland, trust me. “This is our land and always will be our land.”

Latest on GreeleyTribune: 12:05 update The ICE raid on Swift & Co.’s Greeley plants may be about over. Greeley Police Jerry Garner said ICE agents have one more van to load with captured workers and plan to finish around 1 p.m.

Cynthia Chaparro began work at the plant about three weeks ago and was inside the plant at the time of the raid. She said the workers had just gone on break when the raid began. Some workers tried to run when the saw agents, but agents captured them and held them down on the floor of the cafeteria, Chaparro said. She said the remaining workers have been talking about quitting in hopes of shutting down Swift. She estimated about 300 people had been taken from the plant. Another worker, Kathleen Perez, said about half the plant’s workforce was gone.

The scene outside the Swift & Co. beef packing plant has swung back and forth in intensity. A crowd of protesters has shouted at Greeley police, cars that appear to belong to the plant or anyone deemed connected to the ICE raid carried out at the plant this morning.

There was a tense five minutes when an ICE supporter arrived and called from the fence line to ICE agents: “I support what you’re doing, and a lot of people support what you’re doing.”

Protesters ascended on the man and chased him toward H Street. Greeley police followed as the crowd shouted threats against the man and his family. The man, who identified himself only as “Gary,” said he thought there would be more people on site to support ICE and was surprised there weren’t any.

Greeley police officers brought a cruiser to get the man out of the area.

“This is our land and always will be our land.”

That ALSO explains their attitude toward ALL other kinds of property: if it ain't NAILED down and under the watch of ARMED GUARDS, they just assume you're cool with it being theirs.
