One person shows up to Lubbock protest on undocumented immigrants

A lone protester stood on a North Lubbock overpass to object to any notion of granting undocumented immigrants amnesty in the United States.

“If I, as an American citizen, have to obey the laws of the United States of America, so should anyone who comes into this country,” said Gayle Ferguson of Slaton. “If you are here illegal, you are a criminal and therefore that is why I am against giving them amnesty.”

Ferguson found out about the protest through political activist group Protect Texas’ Facebook page, but was disappointed by the turnout.

She and an opponent of the protest, Councilman Victor Hernandez, were the only two to make it.

“I think there are many people like me who have never (protested) before and they don’t like to get in people’s faces,” Ferguson said. “I think it takes a little bit of courage to come out here whenever you’re not usually a confrontational person.”

Yeah it takes a ton of courage to protest refugee children. With that much courage he should be able to kick a puppy in no time.

the law. More illegal aliens have been deported under Obama than at any other time. The Dream Act was never passed by Congress. Do these people have crap for brains?
