The illegal immigration protests in Murrieta, for the most part, have come to an end. The federal government backed down, deciding not to send bus loads of diseased migrants into our community anymore. Now, they are shipping them to local churches, and border patrol facilities in other States. We have decided to protest that, too, when we can, beginning with the 46 illegal aliens who entered the USA via Texas arriving at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fontana, Calfornia, on July 10, 2014. A number of rallies challenging the federal government’s decision to keep the border wide open are planned at that location, and others. In the wake of the Murrieta showdown, I sat down with National Public Radio, and one of the early questions the correspondent asked me was, “If you look up the City of Murrieta on search engines, it comes up as the City of Hate. How does that make you feel?” NPR is not the only media outlet to ask that question, though it is not normally phrased in such a manner to me. Other outlets have asked, “Do you believe your protests have given Murrieta a black eye?” Another asked, “Do you think Murrieta will lose new business and investors as a result of this,” referencing a conversation they had with the Chamber of Commerce chairman who, the correspondent told me, was experiencing potential businesses and investors in the city pulling out because of the “hate” portrayed by its citizens.
