"Families Belong Together" is just another iteration of the George Soros, anti-American, anti-liberty Left looking for any excuse to shut down reasonable debate and destroy the United States from within. This protest culture is alive and well in the Los Angeles, just like across the rest of the country.
It's amazing to me the lengths that left-wing groups like MoveOn.org will go to in order to stop President Trump's agenda and get everyone riled up to take down everything that is good about the United States.
This "Families Belong Together" protest is based on some pretty false premises and misleading information. First of all, families get separated all the time, and for good reason. Our military are often separated from their children for long periods of time. For decades, immigrants coming to the United States often had to leave their children in the home country and provide adequate food and housing for themselves before bringing the rest of their families.
Now, the Left wants to let illegal aliens overrun the borders and demand asylum anywhere at any time.
It's unreal.
LA County for Trump showed up to push back against the racist lies and distortions of the press and the Democratic Party. The President is simply enforcing the laws laid down by previous Congresses and honored by other Presidents, including Barack Obama as well as George W. Bush. Obama not only separated families, but housed them in the worst conditions. Under the Obama Administration, the kids did sleep in cages, and many of them were stuffed or stranded in large rooms with other minors. Let's not forget that many of these "children" actually were adults–and many adults still sneak into the country claiming to be unaccompanied minors.
I wanted to counter-protest above all to give a voice and recognition for the thousands of American children murdered by illegal aliens. Angel parents are separated from their children forever. Where is the solace for them? Why won't the state and federal governments do more to protect these parents and ensure that no one else ever has to go through what they have endured?
#FamiliesBelongTogetherMarchWhat can @sabine_durden @agnes_gibboney @mamendoza480 do to keep their families together?
Nothing.
Their children are dead, because of illegal aliens who broke into this country.
Shame on @MoveOn for promoting illegals ahead of Americans! pic.twitter.com/EA18ynEnZr

I spoke to one of the Angel Moms, and she told me that law enforcement encouraged them to stay out of the public eye this weekend. They have been receiving hate mail and death threats. Their plight undoes the left-wing, open borders "innocent immigrant" narrative pushed by the protesters, and they want to silence these parents any way they can.
But we refused to be intimidated.
We parked about ten blocks away from the final meeting place for the resistance march:
The police presence was large and foreboding.
Still, we had to walk much of the way on our own, and it took us a while to get to our designated protest location.
We met some interesting people on the way, let's just say …
One of the event organizers told us that we could not march in the street. What? I don't think so. We wanted to cross over to the corner of Commercial and Alameda, but the march had already begun, so we ended up walking around the Roybal Federal Building to the other side.=
Here's the entire video that I recorded on YouTube Live from walking to our cars to capturing our counter-protest:

There were six of us walking to the meeting place. It surprised me that everyone had started marching already, since I hadn't expected them to start walking from City Hall until 1:30pm
We eventually arrived at our destination to counter-protest:
Notice that we had to have two lines of police officers protecting us. The left-wing crowds get pretty violent. One of them stole my sign!
Check out the brazen insanity on some of the posters
They continue to push the "Stolen Land" perversity. It's incredible. Notice the other sign that reads "ICE are the real terrorists." Really?
The "Basta" sign dramatizes the picture of the crying little girl, but every major media outlet has had to retract the misprint. That girl was not separated from her parents at all. Yet check out how the protesters still run with that lie!
More of the race, of course.
Lots of Mexican flags, too:
They still push that "No one is illegal".
Give me a break.
We had good people there to counter-protest, to show their support for President Trump:
Robin Hvidston of We the People Rising also joined us!
Check out this proud Omar Navarro supporter, too!
