Tagged: Dallas, deportation, police, protest, TexasPosted on: October 14th, 2007“Dueling protesters and divergent views of patriotism clashed Saturday over a controversial federal program designed to speed the deportation of illegal immigrants arrested by police.
For the second time in as many months, demonstrators clogged Irving’s streets over the Criminal Alien Program, which allows local police to turn suspected illegal immigrants over to federal authorities.
Opponents of CAP outnumbered supporters about 6 to 1 in a demonstration where both sides waved American flags and spoke of justice.”*
