Krystal Ball of MSNBC interviews 9500 Liberty filmmaker Eric Byler about the events going on in Lawrenceville, Virginia. The federal government attempted to sign a deal with a local defunct college to house some of the undocumented children from the latest border crisis.
Eric was there in Lawrenceville filming the townhall meeting where the townspeople came out in full force to fight the deal. He informed Krystal that the process was bad. The towns folk felt that the federal government was trying to pull a fast one on them and therefore they came out “guns a blazing.” All but 2 people spoke against the plan to house the young immigrants on the abandoned college campus.
Perhaps if the plan had been better presented, in the light of day, the children might have a residence. The plan was scuttled because of town outrage.
The video begins with some footage some of us might find very familiar.
