Illegal aliens are out of the shadows and in our face with rage and disdain. Yesterday, about 200 third-worlders stormed a Charlotte city council meeting demanding they kick ICE out of THEIR town and that citizens should pay for their legal services. One protester compared their plight to the Holocaust. Here is an excerpt from the Charlotte Observer:
The rage was similar to
what was seen after the September shooting of Keith Scott. Council members left
the dais in an attempt to quiet the crowd. They returned a few minutes later
and continued the regular portion of their meeting, shouting at each other to
be heard as they took votes on items such as a transportation plan.
Council members decided
to allow more people to speak, but they had adjourned the meeting. So officials
moved into the lobby of the Government Center, where they met in small groups
with immigrants and activists.
“My family is
undocumented, and I was undocumented for a while,” said Daisy Bejarano, who
came to the U.S. from Colombia. “(As a student teacher) I work with students
who feel like they could come home and lose their parents.”
Earlier Monday, the
group marched behind a white banner: “ICE Out of Charlotte / Mayor Roberts Step
Up.” Marchers stayed on the sidewalk beside Third Street and appeared to move
without incident as they chanted “No more ICE!”
Why not chant, “No more
laws!” or “Third-World! Third-World!”?
