Algunos residentes de Murrieta, California protestan la llegada de más de 100 inmigrantes, siendo traídos a su comunidad de Texas. Lupillo Rivera, (foto inferior), que no había participado en el movimiento de los inmigrantes, se encontró él mismo en medio de la protesta. “No importa de donde seán estos niños. Los niños tienen el derecho automático al respeto. No puedo echar a un niño de cualquier parte. Creo que eso es inhumano,“ Rivera dijo a Fox News Latino. A young boy’s clothing is what helped Sheriff officials identify Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juarez who was found dead in a brush last month after crossing the Mexico and USA border. Some Murrieta, Calif. residents are protesting the arrival of over 100 immigrants, being flown in to their community from Texas. Lupillo Rivera, (lower picture) who had not been involved with the immigrant movement, founded himself in the middle of the protest. “It doesn’t matter where the children are from. Children automatically deserve respect. I cannot kick out a child from anywhere. I think that is inhumane,” Rivera told Fox News Latino.
