They withstood pain and hurt as they withstood the pounding attacks against them by Trump supporters, speeding vehicles and charging police. They declared their opposition to the racist republican nominee for President.
Traffic halted as the energetic protesters held their signs as they walked into the roadway. Many were waving both American and Mexican flags, proudly displaying the heritage of their parents, themselves and friends in their communities.
Some police attacked and bullied them as they stood strong.
Many protester signs illustrated their passion. "Dump the Trump," one sign read. Another protester wrote anti-Trump messages on Costa Mesa police cars.
"I'm protesting because I want equal rights for everybody, and I want peaceful protest," said 19-year-old Daniel Lujan, one of hundreds of Mexican American protesters passionately opposed to the racist Trump.
It is clear, the Mexican American protesters are against the racist Trump's message to build a 2000 mile wall. They are against separating families and deporting the 11M here. They are against the racist Trump's promise to END Birthright Citizenship and deport (as he calls) "Anchor Babies." These fearless and strong Mexican Americans will NOT go gentle into this good night. Rage on! Rage on against the racist message of Donald Trump!
The racist Trump should expect the same treatment once he is selected as the Republican candidate. While his halls are filled with racist, countrified white men, expect minorities, Latinos, Women, Asian-Americans, African Americans, Muslim Americans, the LGBT community, ALL of us to Rage On against Trump!
As Hillary said, "If you see BIGOTRY you should Oppose It!"
Trump's racist response to the protesters: "I expect I was crossing the border." So clear he sees ALL Latinos as "illeeegals."
Do not go
gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
