Murrieta, Calif. -
Three buses carrying 140 illegal immigrants are heading back to San Diego County after being met by angry protesters at the Murrieta Border Patrol facility Tuesday afternoon.
The group was flown from Texas to San Diego Tuesday morning and quickly boarded buses bound for the facility. They arrived in Murrieta shortly after 2 p.m.
A group of protesters waving American Flags actually blocked the buses from entering the Border Patrol facility. Residents were lining the street early Tuesday morning with signs, one of which read, 'Return to Sender'.
After the protesters intervened, the buses turned around and drove away from the facility. Our crew at the scene confirmed the buses are on their way back to San Diego County.

(4,835 posts)Because as far as I know - I don't have any Native American ancestry.
I'm sure these illegal immigrants have a more Native American heritage than I do.
I say "let them come".

She had to put the 2 boys up for adoption in Canada but took the 4 girls with her to California where they all became rich working as house maids, cleaners, waitresses, and war workers at Northrup.

(53,661 posts)It is insane to try to hold onto a moment in time that is more of a myth than anything else, when this continent did not even exist as the USA. It didn't have man-made borders, and doesn't belong to any one group now.
There are problems to be sure with immigration, but the real problems are much higher up in the world. IMO, immigrants should be welcomed to be part of the experiment named America. Those with the most to lose, still love those ideals, some of which came from natives.
I consider those tribalists anti-American despite waving a flag. They are the type who denied the federal government in Nevada, yet they dare wave that flag.
Probably the same kind who wanted to ship the unwilling Africans brought here back to Africa when slavery was ended. Most likely had no problem with Mexicans being used as slave labor here after that time, either.
They are a national disgrace.

It's all relative. The money to do it absolutely does exist.

(22,651 posts)There are several churches in Mexico next to the border who are housing/ caring for hundreds of children from central America. The Central American countries have no place, no facilities set-up to care for any deported children. Their countries are war-torn, more than half their people are in total poverty. These children could die/be exploited if dumped back in those countries.
If they were from Mexico there is a method to get them back to Mexico quickly. They have facilities in place.
I'm so ashamed some Americans have such little compassion, they would scream at busses full of 'homeless' children. Aren't we all pro-life in America?

(32,020 posts)but I guess "PRO LIFE" is only for unborn white babies, not immigrant children seeking the American Dream. Because it's easier to indoctrinate future unborns with a narcissistic, authoritarian, hateful, fundamentalist worldview, I suppose.

(8,914 posts)I-15 near Miramar around 3:30 yesterday, and there were camera crews on the freeway shoulder.
Then about 5 minutes later 3 Homeland Security buses pass me on the freeway with some TV vans in tow.
These must have been the same buses pictured.
They appeared to be heading to Chula Vista.
How can these people block the INS entrance when these undocumented immigrants were being
processed to be exactly what they wanted, deported?
