It's about time someone stood up and had illegals arrested while they were protesting .
They come here illegally and demand rights for illegals. The nerve.
Thank you Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi for having the guts to make the call to have them arrested!!
Democratic members of the Texas Legislature allegedly assaulted and threatened a Republican colleague on Monday after the Republican called immigration authorities to report illegal immigrants who were protesting on site, according to The Washington Times.
The altercation, according to Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi, started after he called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in response to repeated interruptions of the day’s proceedings from illegal-immigrant demonstrators.
According to a Twitter post from Rinaldi, “several Democrats encouraged the protestors to disobey law enforcement.”
When I told the Democrats that I called ICE, Representative Ramon Romero physically assaulted me, and other Democrats were held back by colleagues,”
On one hand, I understand why some would want to limit immigration, on the other, US immigration policy is historically racist. Apparently, all those immigrants pouring through Ellis Island and piling on top of each other in tenements weren't a drain on our system. We had no immigration laws whatsoever until non-whites started coming. The first immigration law in the country was literally called the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Immigration has always been central to the American experience, and for most of that time it was free and unfettered...open borders, if you will. Most of you are here, right now, because of open borders. But, of course, your ancestors did it the wi...I mean "right" way.
Was following this story as it happened -- let's just say Rinaldi's story has been elaborated quite a bit from the initial event -- lol.
What's not clear is -- was anybody arrested?
That's the funny thing with this whole story -- how many arrests came out of it? I don't think any......and I don't believe for a minute that illegals would show up and protest in such a way as to put them in the way of the law.

Did they even come? Were they actually called?
