MURRIETA, Calif. (AP) — Protesters have blocked buses carrying migrants from overcrowded facilities on the Texas border to a Southern California processing center.

Several dozen protesters, some waving U.S. flags and signs denouncing illegal immigration, converged Tuesday outside the Border Patrol facility in Murrieta. The buses finally backed away from the facility. Their destination was not immediately known.

The protesters are upset that 136 migrants — mainly families and children — were flown to San Diego from Texas on Tuesday.

U.S. authorities are trying to deal with tens of thousands of immigrants, many of them unescorted children, who since October have flooded across the U.S. border with Mexico in the Rio Grande Valley.

GOPNRAteahadists are edging towards getting violent with Second Amendment Remedies.

Only a matter of time...

1. That would be THE DUMBEST thing they could do

The first teabagger that opens fire will go down in history as The Man Who Killed The Second Amendment. Not even the NRA could spin that.

2. Where did you get the idea guns were involved? All the article said was people with flags and Signs

Thus ANY protest has to include people with guns???? Or is it just protests you disagree with that are to be accused of having GUNS?

Sorry, the article you cited does NOT mention guns, just a protest and blocking of an entrance. You do not need guns for that, thus why bring it up? Stay focused on the problem of the protest, do NOT bring in irrelevant facts such as non-existent guns.

Another Article from Yahoo, also does NOT mention any weapons:

5. Oh holy gun, how we protect thee.

Amen.

10. That poster is guns 24/7

Every thing is related somehow to guns.

22. While that is true, you don't need to tell me there are cow pies where you find cows.

That being said, CA IS a civilized State and not withstanding a recent 9th Cir Panel decision that is on appeal, it is VERY difficult to get a conceal carry permit and even open carry is regulated heavily.

3. Imagine being an immigrant kid with THIS as your first impression of the American people.

Hey "patriots", guess what? Have you ever considered THAT scenario, ever? OH wait, never mind, Teabag freaks intentionally and knowingly take pride in being anti-empathetic. Because it's a sissy, effeminate thing to understand others, because 'MURKIN MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.

I swear, the Tea Party has done a great job in making Americans look STUPID. They've done a way better job in doing so than that "Stupid Americans" segment by The Chaser's War on Everything.

4. This is sad. They're scared of a bunch of little kids.

6. More form NBC Los Angeles.com

Protesters, some yelling, "They're not born here!" and "Go back to Mexico!" stood in the street, blocking the buses as they were headed to the suburban border patrol station...about an hour north of San Diego...(T)he three buses turned around and headed south to the San Ysidro border station...

They are the first wave of migrants who are supposed to be processed at that location, before being released to family or friends until they are called into immigration court..."Nothing is going to stop them from turning around and walking across the street, or walking into the downtown area, or getting on a bus and going somewhere else," Mark Yarbrough, a Perris City councilman...

Demonstrators got in the faces of counter demonstrators in the middle of the roadway. There was some pushing and shoving, but there were no arrests...More than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been detained after crossing the Texas-Mexico border since October...Enrique Morones, an immigrant rights activist, (said) that these children are fleeing dangerous lives in Central America, "where if they don't leave, they die. So we need to live up to the great nation that we are," he said...

The federal government is also flying migrants to the Texas border cities of Laredo and El Paso and to Arizona for processing.

FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND??? That's more than 200 per DAY! And what if they HAVE no family or friends in the US? How long does this "processing" take, and is it shorter for children?

12. Pathetic, selfish bunch of pricks

if you ask me. Fuck em.
Oh, and did I mention oh-so Christian.

13. stop whining start acting

Demand governor Brown protect these children NOW! The latino community got him elected in 2010 after he was behind in the polls. We can put thousands of democrats on that road to protect those children. Jerry Brown should be leading if he wants our votes in november! And if the tea bag scum try and pull a bundy ranch on those buses full of children it will be their end!

14. I wonder how these assholes would welcome my Sicilian grandfather and grandmother

....or my Irish great-grandparents or my French Canadian great-grandparents.

These protestors, they need to strongly consider the option of going and fucking themselves.

15. Take an Example from Dallas

Dallas County and the city of Dallas are getting ready to receive 2000 of these children. Dallas offered to take them as an act of compassion led by Dallas county commissioner, Clay Jenkins and Dallas mayor, Mike Rawlings. The children will be moved to Dallas by the end of the month. As a Dallas resident, I am proud that my city has stepped up to the plate and done the right thing to help out the border cities and help the children.

16. Disgusting! They should be ashamed of themselves.

Why do the authorities always back down when the RW nuts act up? Why is it when liberals protest policies that are hurting all of us, the authorities can't wait to bust heads?

[Trust Buster]

17. Exactly, why weren't they arrested for illegally blocking a street ?

[atreides1]

20. Because

...authorities don't believe that liberal protesters will shoot them...now conservatives, that's a different animal!

[Lefta Dissenter]

19. you mean like in Wisconsin?

With over 700 arrests of people singing or holding signs in the Capitol?

[Lefta Dissenter]

18. Shameful.

Why the hell is our government allowing vigilantes to interfere with the functioning of our country?

[Trust Buster]

21. As we saw at Bundy Ranch, this passive approach will only embolden the wing nuts.
