Hundreds of people - including many illegal aliens - called in Los Angeles Wednesday to protect incoming President Donald Trump and his plans to deport people who have no legal right to be in the United States, which will hopefully kick off starting January 20 when the new administration takes office.
You know, like just about every other country in the world does when people are illegally present within their borders, but for which the United States tends to catch copious amounts of grief and headache.
Led by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, protesters marched some 1.5 miles - small potatoes when you think about what it takes to get to the U.S. border from, say, Honduras - and convened outside the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Center, where they held up signs and screamed that they had no plans to go back to their home country any time soon. Some help up flags from their home country, an ironic move considering they’re demanding to stay in the United States and are refusing to return to where they came from.

Among their demands? A “sanctuary ordinance in every city,” which would effectively bar local law enforcement from cooperating with federal ICE officials to turn over criminal aliens - not just undocumented people, but convicted criminals - to immigration authorities upon their release from jail.
Hey, maybe their carrying around foreign flags makes more sense than we gave them credit for. Perhaps turning every city in America into a Tijuana dumpster fire is the goal.
