Interviewed in Spanish, the protesters told conflicting stories about how their group was organized. Some said it was organized at their church, and that they were there as volunteers.

It’s actually pretty funny. The left are such a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings that illegal aliens had to be hired to pick up the slack.

I’ve seen leftist activist want ads. They pay pretty well.

Darn!!! I wish conservative groups would pay protesters. Getting paid to sit around, holding signs and yap about politics!
