Murrieta Mayor: Undocumented Immigrant Bus Protests Are Free Speech
Supporters of undocumented immigrants whose transfer to Murrieta has turned
this California town into a political battleground on Wednesday called the
demonstrations “shameful” and racially-motivated, while the mayor defended
the protests as an exercise of free speech.
“What people need to understand is that they [protesters] are showing their
emotion and passion about a federal policy that isn’t working,” Murrieta
Mayor Alan Long said Wednesday, speaking in support of crowds that blocked
buses full of undocumented immigrants trying to enter the town a day earlier
.
“And if it started here in Murrieta, so be it,” Long said. “It won’t be
just one mayor or councilmember or a group of small protesters, it’s going
to take an entire region, maybe an entire state, to send a message to fix
the problem so that this doesn't land on the community’s doorsteps.”
On Tuesday, dozens of protesters outraged about the transfer of 140
undocumented immigrants to a facility in Murrieta blocked the road and
shouted "Go back to Mexico!" The bus eventually turned around and took the
immigrants to San Ysidro for processing.
