Protesters in a small town near Tucson want to send a message about the immigration debate Tuesday, when they plan to block a bus they believe will be transporting about 40 immigrant children to an academy for troubled youths in Oracle.

The protests are expected to mirror those in Murrieta, California, where the mayor and residents blocked buses carrying immigrant children who were set to be processed there.

...

The fallout began in late May when reports surfaced that immigration officials were dropping off hundreds of women and children at Phoenix and Tucson Greyhound bus stations after they had been caught crossing the border illegally.

Within a week, immigration authorities were flying hundreds of children who had crossed the border into Texas alone to the Border Patrol facility in Nogales. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer sharply criticized the move and demanded it stop. Republican candidates for governor have also chimed in. Some are expected to attend the rally on Tuesday.

Thank you Murrieta! Your guts gave the impetus to others to follow your lead.

They aren’t “immigrant children”.

Their parents are illegal aliens who did not want to go through the time consuming and tedious legal process of immigrating to our land legally, so they made a choice to do so illegally.

So they aren’t immigrants, just because their illegal alien parents said so.

I’m so proud those Murrieta patriots are from my state. Maybe California ain’t so bad after all!
