[BREITBART] Busloads full of illegal aliens, many of them children, from overcrowded detention facilities in Texas were flown into San Diego Tuesday morning before being driven north to Murrieta for processing, but plans changed when over 100 protestors prevented the bus from entering the Murrieta Border Patrol facility.In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Patrice Lynes, the organizer of the Murrieta protests, recounted the events that led to the buses turning back, and what demonstrators wanted to convey.
When Lynes heard of the transfers, she gathered a couple of friends and began staging demonstrations against the transfers, as well as in support of Border Patrol agents. On Sunday, June 28, the group that joined Lynes grew to a couple dozen. Lynes also gathered about 25 people--including moms, students, and former Border Patrol agents--to meet with staff in the office of U.S. Rep. Kevin Calvert (R-CA) to voice their concern over the lack of enforcement of current immigration laws.
After public outcry over the transfers, some plans to fly the detainees to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, were canceled, but Tuesday's flights did take off, one of which headed for San Diego. After the plane landed, the 140 illegal aliens on board were escorted onto buses and driven up to the Murrieta Border Patrol station for processing.
However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
when the buses arrived, they found Lynes and fellow demonstrators waiting. After about 25 minutes, the buses backed down. It was later discovered that they were rerouted south to San Diego County's Chula Vista Border Patrol station--despite that station's inability to process the detainees.
