Today at the Mexican Consulate just south of downtown Houston a protest
against the illegal alien border surge was staged by concerned patriots.
Apparently the word got out to the opposition forces. There were 25 to 30
illegals and associated supporters there as well. Our side numbered from
40 to 50 while I was on site. We were staged on opposite sides of the street.
The illegals (they proclaimed themselves so, chanting "undocumented and unafraid")
had a small public address system and had a designated wise-ass on the mike
leading chants and taunts which actually were pretty comedic.
The illegals:
Our side:
The public address system:
The Consulate is apparently constructed of stacked-up double-wide trailers and has a spiffy billboard in the yard.
Back to the good guys:
The cops had a load of barricades delivered and set them up on our side first:
Then they set up barricades on the illegal's side. I thought this
to be a bit futile as they all have a proven ability to hop fences.
Nice trailer.
Some media were present and interviewed folks on both sides. I'll see if I can
locate some of that and post it down-thread. Overall I'd say our message was
heard, if only at a local level. Which beats the hell out of silence.
Eagles Up, y'all.
Agree.
“...Fk the illegals. They spit in the face of my friends who toiled for years to become an American. A few are from Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico....”
Yes Sir! There is a right way (legal) and a wrong way (illegal) to do this. Either we are a nation of laws or we’re not. Presently, it appears that we’re not. Since we’re not, perhaps the few of us that work, pay taxes and abide by the law of the land just all need to quit paying taxes since the country is now basically “lawless”.
SCREAMING, YELLING, AND LOTS OF HOT TEMPERS TOOK OVER THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE MEXICAN CONSULATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.I bolded the last sentence, and posted it in caps as it is that way the whole article is written.*snip*
IN THE MEANTIME, BRAZORIA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL CONSIDER A RESOLUTION NEXT WEEK TO BAN ANY OF THE UNACCOMPANIED MINORS FROM COMING INTO THEIR COMMUNITY.
[Disclaimer, I don't consider all caps to be screaming, doesn't hurt my ears at all...]
I snipped out the middle two paragraphs, but it is worth it to look at the short article.
I wanted to post the last paragraph because of it's positive take on the situation.
The video shows our side quite well describing the problem
LOL!
Awesome but biased.
That was right after I left, I passed miss Anonymous on the way out.
Woo hoo! Great results!!
And we’re now on the road. See you tonight in Sacramento!!
In my world, ICE would show up detain them all and chck to see if they are here legally. If the are here illegally they immideatley get loaded in a bus and driven to Mexico. Personal possession left behind, too bad. If you followed the laws you wouldn’t be in that situation.
Good job freepers!
Well, you can’t get away from the bias...
OK see ya there!
BTTT
Thank you for the ping, Gunner. Great job, well done, Sir.
Wish I could have met you today!! I was in the white t-shirt with an AK gun that read: Is it because I;m black? I know the AP reporter was digging that redneck spirit!!
Second protest I’ve been in where it was titled “Duelling Protesters”....
