Comments It is now nearly two weeks, since I learned of the presence of an I.C.E. base of operations in Camarillo, and in fact within a short distance of my own house. This is nothing less than the proverbial viper brought up in our bosoms, and deserves only to be eradicated.
The time has truly come to say, Not In Our Backyard. Not In Our Backyard will we allow our neighbors, our friends, our
employees, and essential workers and small businesspeople to be stalked, harassed, intimidated, captured, abducted, and all but sold down the road to inhospitable places. Not In Our Backyard do we countenance vigilantes prowling the roads, faking their licenses, suborning the Police Department and Sheriff's Office, frightening children and their parents alike. Not In Our Backyard should we permit unauthorized personnel to stalk, harass, intimidate, and terrorize the weak and helpless for no fault of their own, whose only offense, if it may be called such, is to seek their fortunes and eke out a meager living in this fabled Land of Opportunity. Not In Our Backyard shall we suffer lies to prejudice our opinion of these same hardworking, kind-hearted, generous innocents. Not In Our Backyard can we tolerate the refugee to be turned from our doors, nor the builders of our country to see their work wasted, nor women 1 and children to be horrified and heart-broken by the loss of their loved ones and livelihoods. Not In Our Backyard is this acceptable. I.C.E. must cease operations in this city and county at once.
