Ready to rumble: Activists to raid congressional town hall meetings to fight immigration

Washington Examiner:

Even if lightning strikes Friday and Congress OK's an immigration bill, activists angered with unaccompanied minors swarming over the U.S.-Mexico border plan to invade town hall meetings House members are planning during the five-week congressional recess.

The immigration reduction group NumbersUSA is one of those already drawing up protest plans. They distributed details to their two million members on the lawmakers already planning to host public meetings in their district.

According to the group, 99 Republicans have scheduled town halls. Just 41 Democrats have done the same.

"SWARMING" as in reference to these frightened kids coming over, so I was curious.

But yes, rightwingers viciously hate Brown people whether they are coming over the border or live down the street, so no surprise that they hate these kids and want them to die which is what happens when sent back.

I would understand if they were simply 'concerned' but their anger is misplaced if they have no personal idea of what is going on.
