Mayor Alan Long stands before a packed auditorium at Murrieta Mesa High School to talk about what he says is a “very controversial” subject. The audience is filled with those who are upset that migrants are illegally crossing the border in Texas and being flown to Riverside County for processing in, among several places, Murrieta.
He tells those assembled that “Wside you’re on we can agree there must be change.” There is applause. He says the fact is that the Federal Government wants to bring 140 people every 72 hours… indefinitely. And, as he told me earlier at City Hall, that is a concern for the city.
Supervisor Jeff Stone tells the audience “We have a lack of political will to protect our borders which is a Federal responsibility. He says the Federal Government needs to “stop this action of exporting frightened and traumatized women and children from Central American countries for nothing more than satisfying a political agenda.” He says “these are human beings. We do not make border policy. We have a responsibility to make sure those who come into our country are free of communicable diseases. We have always been humanitarian and must provided social services. But, must react in a peaceful and orderly way and, demand the Congress immediately secure our borders. They must enforce current immigration laws.

As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”
