Shame on You, Murrieta, for Blocking Immigrant Detainee Buses
The Los Angeles Times ^ | Thursday, July 3, 2014 | Steve Lopez

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. That’s 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 let’s 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. We’ve supported corrupt and oppressive regimes for our own economic gain and we’ve priced foreign farmers out of business by subsidizing American agriculture.

And then there’s the insatiable American hunger for drugs -- one of the more destabilizing forces south of our borders.

This meme was being pimped mercilessly by NBC Evening News tonight.

Only HATERS would stand in the way of these “poor children who have gone through hell to get here!”

I think Senor Steve Lopez should take five of these hurting souls into his home. Feed them, get them medical care, educate them.

Talk’s cheap, Steve.

Oh, yeah.
The illegal invasion is OUR fault.
Thanks, Mr. LOPEZ.

Our nation is invaded and we are supposed to put out the welcome mat when they entered illegally? I think not.

But still, shame on those of you with bulging veins, clenched fists and hot-blooded hatred.

I read that two pro amnesty activists were arrested out there today for assaulting and elderly woman and a cop.

From John 10:1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

These illegal aliens are nothing but thieves and robbers.

They just can't blame their POS commandant Obama and the regime that is orchestrating this humanitarian crisis.

Well, I knew it was our fault in some way.

I was just wondering how the media would spin it.

Shame on obama and the liberals for further burdening taxpayers with people who will cost them huge amounts just so your stalinist party can finagle more votes.

I agree with one thing, our illegal drug culture is causing a lot of problems down there. Our war on drugs does not help either. Maybe we should take all the aid we give to muzzie countries and invest it in central and south America.

It’s all your fault, you ugly white folks. You have no right to your freedoms.

But we, the LA Times, have the right to tell you what to do because people like you died giving us the freedoms to do so.

You vile piece of commmunist thug trash.

What would your position be Senor Lopez, if these were Anglos/Russians/Africans/redheaded Irishmen/ being brought here or sneaking across the border into “your neighborhoods”?

Different song and dance? I’ll bet so

The left disgusts me. They think they can make the country better with more poor, uneducated, unskilled welfare recipients.
