Border battle flares in L.B.
LONG BEACH - Tensions over the immigration debate ran high in the summer heat on Saturday, as activists on both sides of the issue squared off at a protest in front of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.
“It’s always been a quiet, community church,” said Sgt. Ernie Kohagura, who was one of a dozen Long Beach Police officers there to keep the peace. “But today it’s like ground zero.”
Members of Save Our State, an anti-illegal immigration group, and members of the Minuteman Project gathered outside St. Luke’s Saturday morning to protest the church’s decision to provide sanctuary for Liliana, a 29-year-old illegal immigrant, and her U.S.-born infant son.
Several groups, such as Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, came to support Liliana and the New Sanctuary Movement, which works to provide illegal immigrants with safe havens.
The number of protestors grew to well over 100 by early afternoon, with about 40 from Save Our State and Minutemen, and about 100 in support of New Sanctuary.
St. Luke’s Church has been providing sanctuary for Mexican native Liliana, whose last name has been withheld, and her son Pablo since June.
Although her husband, Gerardo, and three children are U.S. citizens, Liliana became ineligible for U.S. citizenship when she was caught trying to enter the U.S. almost a decade ago with a fake birth certificate.

The Chelene Nightingale for Governor campaign..has tried to UNDULY Influence Voters to change parties For their candidate with a “how to…step by step website, which also tells them that after the primary they can change their voter registration back to any party and vote again.
“CORRUPTLY INFLUENCING VOTERS” = 1ST degree felony CODE 104.061 election law. Fine and 5 years in prison.
Harsh penalties aimed at deterring electoral fraud make it likely that individuals who perpetrate fraud do so with the EXPECTATION That it either will not be discovered, or will be excused.
These acts are considerd to be morally unacceptable outside the spirit of electoral laws or in violation of the principles of democracy.
It constitutes a wish to creat a ‘DICTATORSHIP” WHEN YOU TRY TO BREAK DOWN DEMOCRACY TO IMPLEMENT voter INFLUENCED FRAUD.

GREAT news about Markham Robinson running for Governor..Guess that leaves Chelene Nightingale candidate for Governor a bit perplexed. She was trying for the AIP nomination but using much deceit in her campaign. She is with Constitution Party..of which California does not have a ballot qualified party.
Better to play by the rules…SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO Hijack the AIP for her own use!!
