Pro-Anti-Immigrant Protesters at Columbia

The NY Post reported that a handful of immigration-control advocates protested outside Columbia University earlier this week demanding disciplinary measures against students who stormed the stage during a speech by the founder of the Minuteman Project, a civilian alien-monitoring group. “We want these students expelled,” said Joanna Marzullo, president of New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement. “The violence cannot be ignored.” The founder of the Minuteman Project, Jim Gilchrist, had to cut short his talk at the school on Oct. 4 after students from the Chicano Caucus and other groups climbed onstage with banners denouncing the project, which is based in Laguna Hills, Calif., and advocates action to prevent illegal immigration from Mexico. Yesterday, the protesters waved flags and held signs that said, “Illegal immigrants have no rights” outside the school. Pedestrians jeered, and one man stopped to argue with the group.  Click here for the story.
