(9,436 posts)5. In Salem, OR "Keep Mexicans in Mexico"
http://www.katu.com/news/local/Immigration-rally-in-Salem-267799871.html
Trasad is an immigrant himself who came to the United States 40 years ago from the Fiji Islands, closer to New Zealand than America.
"I don't think anybody I've talked to is against immigrants," said Trasad. "We're a land of immigrants. We know that."
Trasad probably did not talk much with a woman named Laura Cole, who was at the same protest on the overpass with her husband and 4-year-old son.
"I want to keep Oregon the way it is, the people that make up this town" said Cole.
When asked what she meant by that, Cole answered she wants to "keep Mexicans in Mexico. Keep European-Americans here, where we are, in our homeland... I think it's OK for us to be proud that this is our territory."
