Illegal immigrants evicted from canyons – Owners of multimillion-dollar homes want to rid area squatters and their church – San Diego
Tagged: activist, California, police, San DiegoPosted on: December 27th, 2006“The worshippers who for 20 years have prayed at the cement altar that sits – for now – in a canyon below multimillion-dollar homes are illegal immigrants who sleep nearby under plywood and plastic tarps and bathe in a stream.
Around Christmas, the church plans to destroy the outdoor, tree-covered place of worship. The landowners are expelling the church and its worshippers because new homes, roads and shopping malls have made it impossible to live in the shadows. Anti-illegal immigration activists have found a battle cry; police and landowners want the camps gone.”
