Murrieta immigrant detainee protests keep growing
Los Angeles Times ^ | July 5, 2014 | by JAMES BARRAGAN

The standoff over the housing of immigrant detainees in Murrieta grew Friday as protesters on both sides of the issue stood their ground.

Hundreds of people gathered on the road to the federal processing facility, anticipating another convoy of vehicles containing immigrants who had crossed the border in Texas.

In a reversal from earlier in the week, there were substantially more demonstrators on the immigration-rights side.

Elizabeth Thornton joined Friday's demonstrations to support the detainees — but she added that she was not enamored with the federal approach to immigration.

"This is a necessary step for these people to be released," she said. "We're here to counter the overwhelming racism and xenophobia that we've seen here the last few days."

Is there a limit to how many illegal aliens we will allow to break our laws? 100,000? 200,000? 1,000,000? 5,000,000?

How many? 25,000,000? Unlimited?

So now sneaking into the country without permission is considered ‘immigration rights’?

Limit? There is no limit. Those who are “allowed” to come here in fact, are not being “allowed”, they are being BROUGHT here illeagly and not one damn gubmint representative is doing a thing about it.

Never mind the amazing tolerance displayed over the past 40 years or so.

If anyone here lives in a border state or county, let it be know that controlling this problem is the responsibility of your sheriff.

The average leftist nincompoops (not their overlords) must be the most reflexively knee-jerk morons in history. If it appears that the right is agin’ it, they will come out for it, even when it wull hurt them as much, if not more so, than us.

This is truly getting blatantly confrontational and destructive.

Obama has in his current plans to disperse nearly 300,000 of these invaders across this country. If you give him another 2.5 years, he will have infested this country with an insurmountable problem that not only inundates our support systems, but yields the very like problem we are faced with a disease pandemic from which we will not recover.

There are probably a couple of billion people that want to come here. This is absurd these countries need to clean up their act instead of using the US as a relieve valve.

That seems clear. The news reporter added a "but" in the following sentence perhaps to show Elizabeth was an objective, clear-headed observer:
"Elizabeth Thornton joined Friday's demonstrations to support the detainees — but she added that she was not enamored with the federal approach to immigration."

She is likely not enamored for the reason you suggest.

For any that may need a guide to who the good guys are in these protests - the bad guys are burning the U.S. flag.

‘There are probably a couple of billion people that want to come here.’

The Pew Institute recently conducted a global poll to ascertain the rough order magnitude of the number of persons who would come to the US if they could and they came up with a figure of 700 billion plus or minus. Most of these are from Asia or the turd world. That is the pool that the ruling political class and the oligarchy wants to use to ‘fundamentally transform’ the United States into a sort of third world country where the dark skinned people look to government for survival and vote as they are told and the light skinned people can pay the taxes and do the work necessary to keep the country stumbling along. Then the US can be ready to take its place in the borderless world of the ‘New World Order’.

Yesterday on CNBC there was a feature, “The AR-15: America’s Rifle”.

Usual footage of middle aged fat white guys at gun shows & on the firing range, but a lot of technical analysis of the AR-15 as well. Looks like the MSM is taking notice that a growing portion of the populace is arming itself & pointing to the 2nd Amendment as justification.

The Murrieta demonstrations are showing there’s hope for America yet, in my opinion. If in this or future manifestations of the majority’s will, that Obama sends his Govags in & shooting breaks out, then general insurrection may well commence.

People like Elizabeth do not have the patience necessary for critical thought. The USA has twice the population of all of Central America and the Carribean. Our cities are over crowded and in the areas where illegals flock, degradation of that area is prevalent. It is a reality. Thinkers, such as Elizabeth cannot face the truth. If these pro-immigration protesters really wanted to make a difference than they need to demand that all money sent to Central America be stopped until their governments start showing responsibilty for their people or that money must be diverted to undeveloped areas throughout the U.S to establish new cities; creating new economies capable of sustaining the influx of this massive invasion of our borders. By accepting these illegals, we further embolden these countries to do nothing and the problem will never end. People, such as Elizabeth have been too dumbed down to realize truths outside emotional reasoning.

If the feds flat out refuse to enforce the rule of law, then the rule of law is dead in the US, and a result, the constitution is null and void, PERIOD! And the federal government has absolutely NO authority whatsoever regarding the individual states. The federal government, and all of its agents, should be considered as enemies of the individual states, and tried and convicted by state courts for insurrection, violation of state sovereignty, and violating their constitutional duties. To the naysayers and cowards who shoot down this idea: you are part of the problem at the very least, have a vested interest in the status quo, or are an agent of the federal government, and should hang along with all of the rest of your federal accomplices.
