It’s racist to have borders, just ask Elizabeth.
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.
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.
