Protesters Hound Buses Of Immigrant Children: Nobody Wants You

Protesters chant U-S-A while blocking buses full of immigrant women and children
Send them back to their countries, one unidentified male protester told KFMB. Send them back to where they came from.
Its not clear if the demonstrators realized, however, that the purpose of facilities like the one in Murrieta is to help authorities prepare to send the immigrants leave the U.S., and to account for individuals who could pose flight risks. But because the protesters blocked the buses, they were shuttled out of the area and taken to a similar center in San Ysidro, close to the U.S.-Mexico border, where they arrived late Tuesday afternoon.
