One of the most precious and treasured rights people have in the U.S. is the right to petition the government and express grievances through protest demonstrations.
This form of petition enables average, every day Americans to apply pressure to an out of control government and force them to tackle an important issue head-on, reminding them that the power in this republic belongs to the people.
The recent victories experienced by the Murrieta, California protesters are a perfect example of the effectiveness of this right when applied to government corruption.
For several weeks, protesters have held demonstrations at their local Border Patrol station, turning back buses full of illegal immigrants from dropping them off in their town. Four buses total have been prevented from arriving at the station.
It seems the efforts of these patriotic citizens has the federal government quaking in its boots, as the government has decided to call off flying illegals into the San Diego area for the time being.
via Breitbart:
After more than a week of protests by local residents in Murrieta against transfers of illegal aliens caught in Texas to a local U.S. Border Patrol facility, the federal government has called off future transfers to the area–for now.
Late Wednesday, local Fox affiliate KSWB reported that a fourth planeload of illegal aliens–many of them unaccompanied minors–scheduled for Thursday had been canceled, and no future flights would be scheduled
The announcement will be seen as a victory by anti-illegal immigration activists, who kept a vigil near the U.S. Border Patrol site after successfully blocking the first convoy of buses, which was diverted to another station further south. Two subsequent convoys intended for Murrieta also were diverted to San Ysidro.
However, the government has canceled flights of illegal aliens before, only to place them back on the calendar at short notice.
This is good news. The federal government once again proves that if enough pressure is put on them by citizens of the country, they will cave. Witnessing yet another victory for liberty should remind conservatives and freedom-minded folks that while our country is in grave danger, all it takes is the active participation of the people to effect real, and much needed, change.
President Obama would be wise to stop using this crisis to justify immigration reform and do his job to secure the border and deport these illegals now. His failure to do so will only cause his opposition to grow, spread, gain momentum.

Liberal bullies were worried conservatives were getting their message out... that’s why they shut it down.
no they now have communists infesting churches doing the dirty work of providing defacto amnesty.
Better there than keeping them in Texas
I think most of these Illegals will go home on their own once they find out they sold their soul to the Devil
No, they are transporting them all over the country..to merge them with our society..Obama’s army
The trains from Mexico are one way tickets only. These people are not going back to Central America unless we fly them there and we are never going to do that. The Mexican Government is not going to allow these people back into their country so they can return to Central America. Not unless they are traveling on US passports. Mexico enforces its borders.
Unfortunately they are here to stay and there are more on the way.
Better learn Spanish. Keeping your job or getting a new one may be contingent on it.
Bullcrap. Drop them in front of their respective Embassies in DC. Pin a bill for the services rendered to them. Deduct it from the “aid” we send them.
You are assuming that the people in charge have the political will to deport these people. Look around. If you dare to suggest that these people be repatriated to their home country you are labeled a racist NAZI. There are very few people in our government who are willing to stand up against that charge.
Idealistically these people ought to be returned home.
Realistically, they are home. They ain’t going anywhere but to our public schools and into our welfare system.
The only ones the government surrenders to are Muslim terrorists, illegal aliens, feminists, the Homo Lobby, moneybags special interests, unions, and the Gibsmedats. Everybody else can expect to be silenced and then crushed.
They don’t need to. The Catholic Church is taking them in.
