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."

Now you can start working on body armor. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars: except for a level IV rifle plate, Galls soft and hard shock plates and the carrier vests, my plates are all hand-made.

`Tracers work both ways.’

Well, I hope they put the sick, infested, illiterate, ILLEGAL ALIEN LAW BREAKING kids in the same class room her kids are in next fall. Then let’s see how tolerant and understanding she is.

The illegal invasion will continue until patriots of sound mind take a stand. One thing that has neutralized the will to stand our ground is the Race Card. It is all a part of the Alinsky Method to demonize your opponent.

This is not a race issue, it is a jobs issue. The use of unskilled labor is a symptom of our declining economic system. It is like a fix for an addict that only gives temporary relief.

In this time of rock bottom job opportunities, can we let more unskilled people into our country? How many parents have put their kids through college only to have them living at home, working part time for low wages? Do we want more low skilled workers to squeeze out our children’s future by denying them their first steps into the job market? Do want more parents to lose their retirement income supporting children squeezed out of entry level jobs by uneducated illegals? All of this will cause our economy to lose further ground because it puts the wrong people into the entry level jobs. It short circuits the system of progression that our educated youth have used that starts them in entry level positions and moves them up the ladder to jobs they are equipped to do because of their education. When the educated have been squeezed out of the first steps, we have destroyed that system of progression.

Finally, with the job situation so bleak, do we want more kids to enter the illegal drug industry, prostitution and crime? That will be more tax money to be used for law enforcement and the justice system. All the associated effects of criminal activity will cost us big.

Now we have another legitimate issue that cannot be hit with the Race Card. It is the medical issue. We are being hit with dangerous infectious diseases. In our earlier history, Swinburne and Hoffman islands were used to quarantine immigrants suspected of carrying infectious diseases. Immigrants who were suspected of having diseases were taken to the quarantine hospital and were not allowed to go to Ellis Island for entry until they were shown to be well or were cured of the disease. Are we doing this now? Do we trust our government? There is no indication that we should trust them. And if a cholera type pandemic is started because of such failure, we will pay big with all that will happen.

"On Thursday night, Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley issued a message to the community that called for greater civility from those who opposed the government's approach to the mass influx of people who are in the country illegally."

Mr. Dudley, the pro-invasion protestors dragged the Stars and Stripes through the dirt before burning it. They attacked the anti-invasion demonstrators in racial terms and tried to intimidate people. How come, I never, never, ever read a request for the lawless minions of Obama to act "more civilly". In other words, Mr. Dudley, get stuffed.

I get the feeling you do not understand the problem

You said before it is to late, I said it is already to late.

Closing the Barn Door after the Horse has left is an old adage.
