Reports from the “Immigration Surge” Protests
Legal Insurrection ^ | 7/20/2014 | Leslie Eastman

Posted on 07/20/2014 8:39:53 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Reports are beginning to surface from the 300-plus citizen-organized protests on July 18-19 focused on deep concerns about the immigration surge of supposed “refugees” swamping our border control resources, under the banner of the “National Days of Protest against Immigration Reform Amnesty & the Illegal Immigration Surge”.

With a coalition of more than 50 groups and organizations of various sizes, protests against illegal immigration and the Obama inspired surge of illegals at America’s borders took place in more than 300 locations. The protests were highly visible and some were small with a handful of people on overpasses with others being larger with hundreds of people.

The following report by J.D. Gallop in Florida Today is representative of many of the small-scale, but enthusiastically received, events.

Nearly a week after a social service agency announced it needs foster homes for Central American migrant children seeking asylum in the United States, protesters gathered alongside roadways near the government center to draw attention to the immigration crisis.

“We got to stop the invasion of illegals and send them home now,” said Connie Smith, one of the organizers of a rally that drew about 30 people to the four-way stop near the Brevard County Government Complex in Viera.

..The protesters – including one woman standing next to an upside down American flag she purchased at a yard sale – braved the noon day sun, holding up homemade signs reading “Path to Destruction” and “Send Them Home” as motorists honked horns and waved in support.

"Of course, what is a protest without a counter-protest? Free Republic member “Humblegunner” offers these details on the protest in Houston, TX:

Today at the Mexican Consulate just south of downtown Houston a protest against the illegal alien border surge was staged by concerned patriots.

Apparently the word got out to the opposition forces. There were 25 to 30 illegals and associated supporters there as well. Our side numbered from 40 to 50 while I was on site. We were staged on opposite sides of the street."

Glad to see the Gadsden flag flying. Currently on the only two days of the year that I put up my flag, the snake is always under the stars and stripes.

Immigration issue sparks second day of protests in Lansing

Interesting that BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) has moved on to pushing amnesty after their primary issue of affirmative action collapsed.

We continue to accept the propaganda of the enemy. It's not an immigration surge. It's an invasion! They are not in any way "refugees". They are illegal aliens!

As long as we accept the enemy's terms by using his language we will lose.

You are spot on. Our side should correct them every time they say "immigration". Signs and billboards "It's not IMMIGRATION, it's an INVASION!"

Of course knowing these mental giants they'll push for "Invasion Reform".

As long as we sit back while those politicians, who are supposedly on our side, accept the enemies terms, we will lose. Hence the sad state we keep finding ourselves in. Until some Governors and their State Police/Sheriffs take a stance and provide a rallying point, we can expect it to keep deteriorating.

You are right. “Invasion” is the word we need to use. Sarah Palin is using it and it definitely applies.

Thanks for the link. I think it is great to see all the patriots out everywhere as there are many people who don’t even know what is going on in the world. They don’t watch the news and their life consists of movies, music, sitcoms and escapes of all kinds. It is important to alert as many people a possible as soon as possible.

I’ve been calling this *unexpected* influx an invasion for a month....that’s exactly what it is...an orchestrated invasion.

How many in DC had to have known and are complicit?
