Escondido Planning Commission says ‘no’ for second time to shelter for Central American children who crashed the border. Appeal is expected.
The Escondido Planning Commission has said ‘no’ for a second time to converting a senior center into a shelter for dozens of illegal alien children who crashed the border. Backers of the shelter, including the ACLU, showed up en masse to convince the Commission to change its decision and were reminded, “We need to take on the moral responsibility of standing against bigotry, hate and intolerance.”
The ACLU organized a rally before the meeting.
