Twenty-five Minutemen and women opposed to Obama’s executive immigration program demonstrated in front of the San Bernardino, California City Hall adjacent to the San Bernardino Mexican Consulate Friday.
After demonstrating in opposition to Obama’s executive immigration program, the Minutemen entered the San Bernardino Mexican Consulate to deliver a letter to the San Bernardino Mexican Consul demanding the same “freebies” from Mexico that are provided to illegal aliens in the U.S.
The Minutemen, when ordered by Consulate police to leave the Mexican Consulate, remained in the Mexican soil and noted that they were illegally in Mexico, and then asked that the Mexican government issue them driver’s licenses, illegal (alien) rights, work permits, and equal rights.
When inside of a foreign Consulate, one is legally on that foreign country’s territory. Eventually, the Minutemen retreated from the consulate after consulate security threatened to have them arrested.
