NEW YORK -- Following the noxious scenes in Murrieta, California earlier this month in which women and children from Central American were greeted by flag-waving mobs shouting, "go home" and "you’re not welcome", the ugly face of American populism was given another airing on Tuesday as protesters descended on the small town of Oracle, Arizona, to rally against the transfer of 40 immigrant children to a local academy for troubled youths.

Yet unlike in Murrieta, those demonstrating against the arrival of the destitute and vulnerable were met by a counter protest organised by pro-immigrant supporters, with heated exchanges between the two groups highlighting the bitter rift sparked by the growing humanitarian disaster coagulating on the US-Mexican border.

One demonstrator held a sign saying, "Send 'em to Coyote Obama". An opposing protester held a placard saying, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". One Oracle resident told local TV station KVOA that he was there to protect the "sovereignty of our nation" by "protesting the invasion of the United States by people of foreign countries"(continued)

Nations fight wars to defend their borders.

We give the invaders lawyers.

80% of the ‘children’ are 16-18. Of course, we don’t know how old any of them really are because we rely solely on what they tell us.

See how well the ‘enlightened’ UK is doing with Londonistan. No thanks.

These children were lured and bussed here for the express purpose of overwhelming our border patrol, our social services and make us look like heartless monsters if we didn't take the poor things in.

Am I evil for refusing to be duped?

I strongly prefer women with long hair, but...

1. Hair tends to hide beauty or the lack of it. In the 70’s I told my friends that Farah Fawcett would not survive the “bucket of water” test vs. Jaclyn Smith. That it, dump a bucket of water over their heads and it would become obvious who was cute vs. who was beautiful. All they did was stare and other things at that darned poster.

2. Téa Leoni in the 90’s. ‘Nuff Said.

I apologize for my previous mis-post (meant for a thread concerning short haired women), which I made due to thinking about Téa Leoni.

I say we send all the little darlings to Britain, after all their immigration policies work so well for them that they are becoming a muslim state so why not split their nation between the muzzies and the latihispmexiies and but the hell out of our countrie. After all that’s why we kicked their asses isn’t it?

Just heard they were paying you $6000 a month to house them. Two empty bedrooms equal a tidy income. Better than Social Security.

Actually it says they’ll pay you UP to $6,000 a month. I wonder why they’d pay you more for one than the other. Maybe it’s the ms-13 tattooed thugs that pay six grand. Or maybe it’s six grand if the kid has a disease.
