Yeah, I know. Illegal means illegal. Thanks for clarifying. And your community has its own challenges without detained immigrants arriving by the busload and no clear plan as to what will become of them. Thats all fair comment.
But still, shame on those of you with bulging veins, clenched fists and hot-blooded hatred.
Juxtaposed against the simplistic and ugly go back home rhetoric spouted in the streets of Murrieta this week are the horrific realities of some of the human beings women and children, no less aboard those buses.
SNIP
And lets not forget that the influx of immigrants is no accident. The reasons for Central American and Mexican economic and social distress are complex and many, but the United States is a historic partner in the failures of that region of the world. Weve supported corrupt and oppressive regimes for our own economic gain and weve priced foreign farmers out of business by subsidizing American agriculture.
And then theres the insatiable American hunger for drugs -- one of the more destabilizing forces south of our borders.
Standing in the street screaming at buses is, to a degree, blaming the victims of our own policies and failings...

And a hearty hi-ho-flukeyou, Lopez !
War on women?
more like Obama and the democrats immigration policy is a war on the entire taxpaying middle class.
I have no problem with sanctuary households or sanctuary churches helping, adopting or assisting foreign children or young adults - as long as it’s voluntary.
It isn’t.
“but the United States is a historic partner in the failures of that region of the world”
And there it is. It is ALWAYS America’s fault.
So, how many children shall the author take into his home?
Shame on you Lopez and the LA Slimes for making yourself complicit in illegal child trafficking. You bottom-feeding scum-suckers.
Shame on YOU LA Slimes for still refusing to release the Rashid Khalidi tapes..oh and another thing, if these illegals all had T-shirts on that said “Im a Republican” the Dems would demand they all get deported
Since there are only 3 billion dirt poor kids in the world, good luck fixing this problem with open borders.
It has nothing to do with the children who are being used as pawns, quite immorally.
It is standing up to the federal government and does not reflect animosity to children being used for political gain.
Shame on YOU Steve Lopez for supporting such exploitation of and harm to these poor children.
We should make liberals adopt and pay all their bills for them if they want them here so badly.
Up yours Lopez. I wish the people of Ventura had stood up like the people of Murrieta did. Jerry Brown would have picked up the phone then, and told the Party to get them the ‘H’ outta here like I’m certain he did when Murrieta people didn’t roll over.
Yes I’m surmising, but it’s a good bet he did quell the chaos in Murrieta by getting rid of the problem for the upcoming election. He likes to keep quiet (Heard from Jerry recently) until the last weeks before an election, and then jump on the soap box denouncing straw men, and all sorts of imaginary boogers without touching a single issue, and people fall for it every time.
“Only HATERS would stand in the way of these poor children who have gone through hell to get here!”
I would be willing to bet that if you asked liberals and conservatives to personally take in and care for one or more of these children you would get FAR more conservatives than you would liberals who would do it.
The real haters are liberal/progressive. The most intolerant, bigoted, selfish people on the face of the earth.
The LA Times should go first. All employees drop by and pick up an illegal and take them home. They seem to want them more than the people of Murietta.
Congress should pass an advertising revenue tax to help pay for these immigrants. Then maybe they’ll change their tune.
Here’s an idea: Take all those busloads of illegal aliens and house them in the L.A. Times building.
The thought control commissars in action.
When each members of both houses of Congress and every secretary of every department and czars take home five each of these children than I’m O.K. with it. They would have to house, feed and educate tell there 18 years old than good on them.
