*Sigh* ~ Happy Fourth of July!
From the Los Angeles Times
A crowd of 200 to 300 people in downtown Murrieta surrounded three buses carrying immigrant detainees Tuesday afternoon, causing the buses to turn around before they reached a Border Patrol station in the Riverside County city.
Waving Americans flags and protest signs, the crowd refused to give way when the buses arrived with some 140 detainees from Texas, which has seen a flood of Central American immigrants cross the border in recent weeks without legal permission.

Murrieta, CA - a city of cold & crude people who gathered 2 scream at buses of already frightened and traumatized children. #AlanLong #shame

Its intellectually & factually disingenuous to conflate the #Murrieta refuge children w/immigration as a whole. This is a humanitarian issue

I've kept my politics quiet lately. But I do want to say: Let the children come in. Or return the Statue to sender. We don't deserve her.

So protesters in #Murrieta were complaining that the immigrants are coming to take their jobs yet they weren't at work this afternoon. Okay.
