Protest and Counter-Protest: Opposing Groups Protest at Sen. Cruz Office
Breitbart ^ | 14 Aug 2014 | Bob Price

HOUSTON, Texas -- Opposing views on the issue of border security and open borders engaged in a standoff of words outside the Houston office of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). The groups were as opposite on the issues as they were the side of the street where they stood. Pro-Amnesty groups supporting an expansion of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) stood on the side opposite Senator Cruz's Houston district office while border security activists stood on the side closest to his office. Houston Police patrol officers, almost outnumbering the protesters, were on hand to make sure both groups remained separated. After about a half hour of protests, members of the Pro-Amnesty groups met inside with the staff of Sen. Cruz.

Both groups were about equal in size with about 20 or so protesters on each side of the street. Chants from each side could be heard up and down the street. As usually is the case in Houston, the protesters remained peaceful.

Javier, a young man who entered the United States illegally at the age of seven, told Breitbart Texas he wants to see DACA expanded to include the parents of the children who received the benefit of President Obama’s executive action. When asked why the parents who chose to enter the country illegally should receive the same benefit as children who came here through no fault of their own, he seemed at a loss for words. In the video below you can see him struggle to try and remember the talking points he was apparently given by organizers.

One of the organizers, Cesar Espinoza, Executive Director of FIEL Houston, a pro-immigration group, told Breitbart Texas his protest organizers were going to meet with Sen. Cruz's staff to remind the Senator he was an immigrant

Walk over to Pro-Illegal immigrant protesters and ask for addresses, when they ask why, tell them you and a bunch of friends are looking for a good lawn to camp out on....

According to one radio guy sent there, there were latino queers there, protesting for ‘their rights’, as well.

Hmmmm ..?? So far, the president’s plan seems to be working. All the illegals are coming out from the shadows and stirring up the masses.

However, it’s not working out as they planned. Now, the public is totally ticked off. There are no jobs and yet the WH has dumped all these extra people into the country and they expect the tax paying citizens to foot the bill for these people.

I hope everybody keeps their cool .. because if we don’t, we will have martial law (like in Ferguson), and then we’ll be in a pretty pickle; maybe the left will even stop the right to assemble, and the right to vote, etc.

But, I guess that’s one way the left can win elections .. when the people no longer want them to win.

Dear CyberAnt,

As far as all these INVADERS are concerned, it’s either them head south, at the point of a bayonet, or ‘soiling’ one!

Aunts, uncles, sons, daughters, any familials or not.

They have got to go, either on their own feet, or feet first.

AND, since it is The Queer-In-Charge’s plan, from start to finish, it is a Constitutional Treasonous Crime.
