Houston Protest Against Immigration Reform/Amnesty & Border Surge
Original Content | 7/18/2014 | humblegunner

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.

And here is a bit of video

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.

They’re side looks a lot filthier. And the sidewalk needs mowing. I guess the Mexican Consulate can’t afford to hire Mexicans to cut the grass.

Great Job Humble, keep up the good work.

Why are the cops protecting the aliens, shouldn't they be arresting them?

My sign would have real big letters:

GET OUT!

FILTHY WETBACKS

Isn’t putting up a fence like that a trigger event?

Exactly.

Nor are most of them *unaccompanied children*. The majority that are under the age of 12 are coming in with family units. The overall majority coming in, to date, are males between the ages of 16 - 23ish.

IN THE MEANTIME, BRAZORIA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL CONSIDER A RESOLUTION NEXT WEEK TO BAN ANY OF THE UNACCOMPANIED MINORS FROM COMING INTO THEIR COMMUNITY.

Hmmmm. How would they explain this:

We were in San Antonio for several days last week. Coming back on East I-10, beginning in San Antonio, we, too, saw numerous of those "look like private tour buses with no company name, blacked-out windows, etc.", heading toward Houston. The ones we saw had nothing on the marquee's.

I suspect all of these buses were purchased with US Taxpayer dollars just for this purpose. This “crisis” has been in the works for some time. Those behind this, from the top down, deserve to be tried for treason and sentenced accordingly.

That’s probably why they are going to not allow it.

The feds snuck some of them in I guess.

Not an excerpt.

And a very fine non-excerpt it is! Bravo, you guys!
