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

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...

“And there it is. It is ALWAYS America’s fault.”

Yes, we have historically refused to support Communism in Latin America, financed and aided by the Cubans and Russians. Bad America! Bad America!/SARCASM

“The left disgusts me. They think they can make the country better with more poor, uneducated, unskilled welfare recipients.”

They don’t believe they are making the country better; they are using a short-sighted strategy embraced by many governmnet workers to simply keep themselves employed as our population shrinks. Nobody on the left wants to see public schools closing as Americans abandon high-tax areas and follow their jobs to more business-friendly environments; nobody needs cops or firemen to provide services for Rustbelt ghost towns. This infusion of trafficked illegals will give them “clients”, courtesy of the American taxpayer.

“It’s all your fault, you ugly white folks. You have no right to your freedoms.”

It is about our MONEY first, freedoms later (when these imports are all voting socialist).

I don’t get it why they come here either. They leave their country to come here where they vote for progressives who want America to be a police state,

Yes...the evil USA supporting corrupt leaders in south America while the successful Soviet style leaders are a paradise.
Then, explain to me why these people aren’t sailing boats to Cuba?

Agitprop. The tried and true way of gaining advantage over the Western world is our own Christian values: compassion for the poor, guilty feelings for sins against our neighbors. Same old stuff.

“Ship them back to their loving families.”

MY take is that their families are already here. It is common that the adults go first. Obama just wants to use children as a prop.

Not to mention replacements for the 40 million tax paying citizens that have been aborted over the past 4 years.

“Not to mention replacements for the 40 million tax paying citizens that have been aborted over the past 4 years.”

Sure; our entitlement programs (like any pyramid scheme) require population growth, and when that is stopped then our consumer-driven economy needs to look elsewhere for shoppers, tenants, and school students...

we aren’t getting shoppers, tenants and school students we are getting welfare recipients -for -life. They will be a huge drain on the economy, as if we need it.

I didn’t say they were spending their own money, or that they weren’t a huge drain on the economy. Our current homegrown underclass is fed, clothed, schooled and housed already; this is just more of the same.
