BROWNTOWN PROTEST OVER TRUMP'S ZERO-TOLERANCE

(Ed.'s Note: You didn't find too many Trump supporters in the crowd protesting his zero-tolerance policies that resulted in the separation of migrant minors from their parents. One of our seven readers who attended the protest said the national media was out in force and that the tone of the crowd verged on defiance against the administration's policies.

The protest was organized by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Brownsville – on the border of the U.S.-Mexico border – has again become the focus point for the clash between ideologies since it is the site of one of the largest shelters (camps, detention centers, gulags?) in the Southwest Key facility housed in the old Walmart building on Highway 48.

The protest of those policies have centered in our city and it doesn't look like they are going to go away soon. As of today, hundreds of migrant minors have been shipped out to other parts of the country and their parents – some of them already deported – do not know where they are.)

There was hardly anyone there. More out of town people than locals. Not exactly the thousands organizers said would be there. Total failure.

WHO was inside the Federal courthouse? Employees? Security guards?
Playing on media publicity will NOT bring change.

Lol, all the newbies attacking Montoya, instead of countering the substance of the article. Listen here boys and girls, ad hominem attacks do not help your cause or make you look edgy or snarky, losers.

You obviously are to stupid to know that you can not cash a welfare check at an atm.

I think that "Anonymous" at 11:50 has it all wrong. Its the liberals and Democrats who are on welfare and depend on government assistance. Just look around you, the RGV is a Democratic Party stronghold and the people here, legal or legal, are poor and depend on assistance and the education level here is far below the national average. Look around you...these people are Democrats and vote the Democratic "palanca" to insure they keep those benefits. The ACLU had to bus protesters in to Brownsville because most locals don't want to take a chance that they will lose benefits or be deported.

Where were these protesters during the Obama administration...when illegal families were being separated and 90,000 illegals were deported???????
The Democratic Party started these protests about immigration to deflect public attention to what is going on in Washington. The Inspector General's report opened Pandora's Box about corruption in the FBI which puts pressure to question the DNC and the Clinton Campaign for "collusion" and "corruption".
Drain the Swamp!!!!! Trump is my president!

Zero tolerance means zero tolerance for those who are violating our laws (laws which Trump didn't enact). We need to find a more reasonable way to do this, but do it we must!

Great nations which did not control their frontiers did not remain great. Ever hear of the Huns, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals, et. al. and the Roman Empire? Those of us "hillbilly", uneducated Trump supporters are not anti-immigration but instead insist that immigration should be controlled as to whom is entering the country. Yes, all immigrants should be processed as per regulations and pursue their efforts to enter legally. We will need labor badly in the future, but let those who really want to work and appreciate America be vetted in such a manner as to screen out the criminal element. Otherwise, it is a crime to simply crash the border without credentials, visas, etc. The demonstrators are obviously ignorant of history and do not care one whit about immigration law. This is not anti-immigrant, racist sentiment but is simply common sense, which this country more often that not seems to be in short supply. Latin America is full of good people, who should be encouraged to apply for entry through U.S. consulates and embassies in the concerned countries. Those not choosing to act legally but instead to illegally invade our country should be detained from doing so and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Meet the Republicans representing cities with a higher murder rate than Chicago. At least 11 House Republicans represent large cities with murder rates even higher than Chicago’s. All of them have A ratings from the National Rifle Association, earned from a record of supporting gun rights and opposing gun control. Red States Have Higher Crime Rates Than Blue States.
For example, 2 of the top 3 states with the highest violent crime rates in the nation in 2008 voted for McCain: South Carolina (#1) and Tennessee (#3). (Nevada was #2).

The difference was even more pronounced for property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). Obama states had an average property crime rate of 2,989 incidents per 100,000 residents, with McCain states averaging a rate of 3,228 – or an 8.0 percent higher incidence of property crime.

Eight of the top 11 states with the highest property crime rates voted for McCain: Arizona (#1), South Carolina (#2), Alabama (#4), Tennessee (#6), Georgia (#7), Texas (#8), Arkansas (#10), and Louisiana (#11).
