“…The protest was organized by a Tea Party-type group called We the People Rising. The protesters held signs saying “send the illegals back,” “return to sender,” and warning of “diseases.” Patrice Lynes, an unsuccessful candidate for Temecula City Council in 2012, organized the rally and once promoted a petition opposing the construction of a mosque in the town.”

We the people of these United States, who ain’t you! Get out!

Warning of diseases — that’s an old saw from every period in American history when an immigrant group arrived that wasn’t wanted.

The Native Americans would have said it, too, given the chance. In their case, it was a legitimate fear.
