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.

Standing in the street screaming at buses is, to a degree, blaming the victims of our own policies and failings...

No, LAT, they’re not immigrants. They are border jumping aliens. Doesn’t matter if they’re only three feet tall. Illegally entering a country is a helluva way to start out in life. It all goes downhill from there. Ship them back to their loving families.

I was just thinking, Hussein knows that he has lost the support of a majority of the people, so he figures he will just elect a new people.

I think they should block the roads into the town and not let in any copies of the LA times.

Illegals go home.

The United States is 5% of the world’s population. Most of the other 95% would love to live here. But we can’t afford them or their cultural ideas of living in a state of semi-slavery.

Hispanic come here to enjoy the benefits of freedom - then turn around and prop up our liberal elites. No, we don’t want a class of corrupt elites running our country.

Liberal elites run the hellhole countries they’re trying to get away from ... why bring those ‘slavery lite’ ideas here? No, go home. Make your own countries better.

Screw the LA Times! Just blame America, and give Obama a pass. No wonder LA is degenerating into a third world city.

He is allowed to do this because there is no opposition.

The GOPe agree with his methods, so that they don’t take the blame.

Exhibit A is the COMPLETE lack of objection to this by the party leadership. Absolute silence.

I take that back. Boehner sent someone to study and write a report.

We are no longer represented on the issues that matter.

Only five? How about fifty? I’m sure Mr. Lopez wouldn’t mind taking responsibility to feed, house, and clothe the immigrants. Out of his own wages of course.

Maybe we should have children from Detroit and Chicago board planes for Guatemala. They need to escape the gun violence there. THeir parents can follow in a few months after the children have prepared the way.

“Congress should pass an advertising revenue tax to help pay for these immigrants. Then maybe they’ll change their tune.”

Best idea I’ve seen in ages

I can imagine that ‘they’, whoever planned , organized, financed and implemented this- gathered all of the ‘homeless’ kids out of the gutters and and alleys and swept them up here. Anything to stir the pot and cause problems for this country.

Gee, I thought Americans were human beings, too. But their suffering (being hit by illegal alien drivers, getting diseases from illegals, losing their jobs, etc., etc.,) just don’t matter.

SHAME on Americans for resisting invaders? Shame on the LA slimes for for treason. This is the reason I no longer take a newspaper, even the O.C. Register got to be so bad with it’s incessant pandering to and cheerleading of illegal, Hispanic, Latino, Mexican, Whatever aliens that I couldn’t stand paying a penny for it let alone read it.
