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

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.

No immigration bill is expected to pass both houses and be signed by the president, according to several sources.

“No matter what happens today, there are grave concerns that voters need to confront their representatives about this summer,” NumbersUSA said in a statement provided to Secrets.

“The long list includes President Obama’s plans to issue more executive amnesties, the federal government relocating illegal aliens to towns across the country and a tragically long reputation of the government refusing to enforce our immigration laws — the cause of the border crisis we are experiencing now.

“The amount of attention being paid to immigration is at the highest it’s been in years. Because of this, a pro-enforcement, commonsense message is echoing loudly across the nation. Americans en masse are feeling the consequences of our government’s failures,” they added.

  1. I’m guessing this will be more of a dog and pony show setup by Republicans and Democrats to try and garner more votes for the coming elections.

  2. When people show up to these meetings armed and ready to rectify things as described in the Declaration of Independence…there may be a chance.

    Please tell me any other option you see as viable for restoration of the Republic. PLEASE.

  3. PD. Forget the meetings. Everything is rigged. The time for demonstrations has long passed. The day is coming when American Nationals will have had enough, and all hell will break loose. Arm up, ammo up, food and water up. If possible do it off record. Your going to need way more than you think. Things will get REALLY ugly when it goes hot. It will be kill or be killed. Once the enemy has been eliminated, then the republic will be restored, and not before.
