Protesters Swarm Beacon Hill, ‘Livid’ Over Illegal Immigration (Boston, I was there!)
Boston.com ^ | 7/26/14 | Justine Hofherr

An anti-illegal immigration rally on Beacon Hill outside the State House on Saturday, July 26 was teeming with protesters.

While Bree Sison of CBS Boston estimated that the gathering drew hundreds of people, Jeff Kuhner, the host of WRKO’s The Kuhner Report, who organized the rally, put the number closer to 10,000 people.

People carrying signs that said “Deport illegals,” and “Americans before illegals” stood just outside the State House from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Kuhner told Boston.com that he himself is a legal immigrant.

Kuhner came to the United States in the 1990s on a work visa as he worked towards a Ph. D. Still a Canadian citizen, he was issued a green card in 2006. Kuhner said he is currently in the process of becoming a naturalized citizen.

“I’ve never seen any kind of a backlash like this before on any issue ever. People in this state are livid. They feel betrayed by the political elite,” Kuhner said of Gov. Deval Patrick’s decision for Massachusetts to offer shelter to unaccompanied minors.

Americans before illegals?

Ut, oh....LaRaza is gonna go ballistic over this.

=====================================================

La Raza President and CEO Janet Murguia, at La Raza's annual conference in LA, said it sickened her to hear Americans chanting "USA USA." She accused Murietta, Ca protesters of having "cloaked their hatred in patriotism" by shouting "'USA! USA!' again and again." "It made me angry," she said. "In fact, I was outraged."

Murguia demanded amnesty and said the road to the White House for Republicans goes through the Latino community and La Raza. She also said Republicans who want to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will not get Hispanic votes.

She repeatedly excoriated protesters. "What we saw in Murrieta is not patriotism. It is ugly, divisive, and yet another low in a debate I thought could not get much lower." Murguia did not say comment on "Viva La Raza!" chants from pro-amnesty advocates. Murguia said it was "reprehensible" for Republicans to be "concerned" about disease and crime the "little kids" may be bringing across the border.

==========================================

Mmmmm......the La Razans are getting very mouthy...now that they're living in a place w/ running water and flush toilets.

One La Razan paid agitator carried a sign proclaiming, "You are on stolen land".....reinforcing that we are being invaded preparatory to the armed takeover of the SW.

==================================================

The stupid La Razans fail to realize---America is not some Third World hellhole where people crap in a hole in the ground.

This is a thriving Republic where people have the right to free speech, freedoms given is b/c we have a two-party system.

La Raza's drumming up hatred for Republicans is tantamount to advocating the overthrow of the US govt.....and she's doing it on the taxpayers' dime.

No question blood-thirsty La Raza is using our tax dollars to aid and abet the criminal contagion-invasion and the SW takeover.

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:

<><> La Raza----a violent organization planning to overthrow the US govt----would pocket $100 million tax dollars per year ad infinitum from the Senate amnesty bill.

<><> La Raza also received suck-up Democrat earmarks from US tax coffers.

<><> La Raza received US tax monies to engage in (cough) "mortgage counseling" facilitated by La Raza's comrade in arms---the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

==============================================

Boobamba sucks up to blood-thirsty La Razans. Americans have the most racist and divisive President in US history. No other president has appointed individuals apparently colluding with foreign countries try to undermine the safety and security of US citizens.

Obummer appointed Celia Munoz to the "Domestic Policy Council".....Munoz was a onetime lobbyist for the blood-thirsty La Raza. "La Raza" proclaims itself a racist and anti-American organization. It's core goal is to overwhelm the American Southwest with illegals ---pressure groups who will vote in their mouthpiece----and cause the region to break away from the US and become Mexican territory.

Then why do the vote liberal?

Massachusetts is 60% liberal, 40% conservative. Like the rest of the country, the liberals are in the cities.

But this is a MASSIVE protest by Massachusetts standards. I can't think of anything comparable, even teacher union protests.

This rally probably drew a lot of apolitical or registered independents, because the Governor has basically given MA residents the finger over this issue.

People know that planes full of illegal immigrants have been secretly landing in Massachusetts with the governor's permission. He denied it, then admitted to it, and now claims that they will only stay temporarily. Only the moonbats believe him. He is known by conservatives here as Obama's Mini-Me --which is exactly what he is.

The GOP in Mass has 14% of the registered voters. Don’t matter much how the elections are run. Can’t do much of anything with that number.

That's a bit misleading though, since "Unenrolled," or independent voters, represent about 40% of registered voters in MA, and they lean conservative.

I don’t. Reception is terrible out here.

You can listen on-line at WRKO, or if you have a smartphone, you can listen using the "Tune In" app.

I don’t think they’ll be voting ‘liberal’ for much longer...

“Did a handsome prince kiss the people of Massachusetts?”

Boston is quite a melting pot of immigrants. They know their own history and they know that their ancestors jumped through hoops and made great sacrifices to come to America legally. I can understand their outrage to know that they’ve paid their dues over the generations, and now Hussein is forcing them to support freeloaders at the expense of their own children’s health, welfare, and future.

The Mass. GOP doesn't deserve to have that many! If a conservative wants to run as a Republican, the state party will recruit a liberal to run against him in the primary. The way the national GOPe is going now has been the MA GOP modus operandi for 30 or 40 or more years!

The Mass GOP has long been a joke. There are some very good state reps in the Mass house right now, but they are few & far between.

A most welcome sight! If a liberal bastion like Boston can get this many people out to protest illegal immigration, so can the rest of the country. Thank you Boston for showing us how it’s done.
