Murrieta Residents Vow To Keep Blockading Buses Filled with Illegal Immigrants

‘I hate that all of our country is being invaded’

Immigration Supporters Take Stand Against Those Blocking Buses in California (ABC News)

There was a different sort of fireworks today in Murrieta, California, as residents clashed over whether to support U.S. efforts to process Central American immigrants in their town.

This week, protesters in the wealthy community that’s 90 miles from the border blocked a convoy of buses carrying undocumented immigrants, forcing federal authorities to reroute the buses to a facility in San Diego.

“We would have 500 immigrants potentially on the streets of Murrieta, which we don’t have the resources to handle,” Mayor Alan Long said earlier this week.
