Shame on You, Murrieta, for Blocking Immigrant Detainee Buses
The Los Angeles Times ^ | Thursday, July 3, 2014 | Steve Lopez

Posted on 07/04/2014 6:19:38 PM PDT by kristinn

Yeah, I know. Illegal means illegal. Thanks for clarifying. And your community has its own challenges without detained immigrants arriving by the busload and no clear plan as to what will become of them. That’s all fair comment.

But still, shame on those of you with bulging veins, clenched fists and hot-blooded hatred.

Juxtaposed against the simplistic and ugly “go back home” rhetoric spouted in the streets of Murrieta this week are the horrific realities of some of the human beings – women and children, no less – aboard those buses.

SNIP

And let’s not forget that the influx of immigrants is no accident. The reasons for Central American and Mexican economic and social distress are complex and many, but the United States is a historic partner in the failures of that region of the world. We’ve supported corrupt and oppressive regimes for our own economic gain and we’ve priced foreign farmers out of business by subsidizing American agriculture.

And then there’s the insatiable American hunger for drugs -- one of the more destabilizing forces south of our borders.

Standing in the street screaming at buses is, to a degree, blaming the victims of our own policies and failings...

Murrieta should not be dissuaded by the sniping by high-brow, gated community liberals. TURN THOSE BUSES BACK!

There are no detained immigrants..

there are just illegal aliens..

And the anti-immigration crowd are the illegal aliens already here and their enablers...

The American citizens of Murrieta are not anti-immigration..

they are pro-immigration and they want all who want to come to the US to IMMIGRATE

and not just sneak in like burglars...

According to Slate, the people of Murrieta have good reason to be concerned by the flood of illegal immigrants.

Steve Lopez is guilty of supporting human trafficking and all of the ills and misery that result from it. I blame Steve Lopez for every unfortunate would-be illegal alien who has gotten raped or killed or forced into sexual or economic slavery. And I blame him for every hard-working minority, either American born or legal immigrant, who has a lousy life because they can not earn a decent paycheck with all of the competition from illegal aliens. All for what? So that Steve Lopez or some of his rich Democrat friends can get cheap lawn work, household servants, pool cleaners or golf caddies?

How can a contributor to so many human rights violations not be held accountable for his despicable actions? Doesn’t he even have even a smidgen of decency and intellect to reflect on his ugly crimes? How can he live with his disgusting self? Such a monster should not be permitted to roam around like a free man, rather he should be punished for his many sins.

The arrogance in the first sentence is so expected.

Bottom line is that Barrack Bizarro Ubama is conspiring with Mexican drug cartels to conduct child/human trafficking (many of the hordes surging the borders are dying or being forced into prostitution) for his own selfish political purpose.

At this point he is an enemy combatant and should be frog-marched out of the White Hut in handcuffs and whisked to Gitmo for the indefinite detention he loves to use so much.

“I think Senor Steve Lopez should take five of these hurting souls into his home. Feed them, get them medical care, educate them.”

Multimillionaire Nancy Pelosi said she wished she could take some of the children home with her during her visit to the border this past week. What was stopping her? Typical liberal hypocrisy.

These kids are less dangerous than the destructive muzzies that we daily import.

Not that I favor the kids from Central America over the members of the RoP, but I wish that these guys and gals that are stopping the busses would also consider the daily influx of those that will surely try to kill them some day.

These kids do not present a clear and present danger as the muzzies do.

My note to Steve:

As usual Steve, you are full of $hit! This country isn’t destined to be the home for all the world’s disadvantaged, even those with Hispanic surnames. I end up asking myself why all of the rest of the Western Hemisphere seems to want to come here, and the answer comes up Hispanic leaders, or more correctly the lack of them. Thank God we don’t live in Southern California (more commonly known as Mexico City del Norte). The sad part of your dream of “reconquista,” is that if it ever comes to pass here, you will be left with the same $hit hole you and your fellow Hispanics left. We won’t be here to pick up your welfare tab.

If it comes to that, I pray for your words to be true. They are too stupid to realise that where they, they bring the environment they created back in Me-hee-co, with them. We bring the environments we created in the formerly free and propsperous America, with us.

The people in Murrieta should form pressure groups to encourage congress to establish buses and ships of mercy to take those children and the gang members back to their families in their own countries.

Along with ships withold aid to the sending countries until they fix the issues that provoke this invasion.
