ASU Republicans' campus event to report undocumented students drowned out by protesters [1]

Evidently some kids who can afford to attend Arizona State University are not pleased that they have to sit in class with other students who may speak a second language, maybe look a little different, or study other cultures. If you, as a god-fearing good Republican, think those students might not be US citizens, it’s your responsibility to report them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“Come report your illegal classmates and DACA to ICE,” invites a flyer from Republicans United of Arizona.
Your suspicions (and how would you know, actually?) would even include Dreamers, students who were brought to America as children, who’ve attended public school here, perhaps another college, maybe even served in the military. Some Dreamers only speak English and know nothing about the country from which their parents fled. Fuck it, says Tom Homan, deport them all!
So ASU’s College Republicans United, a white supremacist group with chapters across the country, announced earlier this week that they would set up a table on campus Friday to help other snitches rid the university of “illegals.” The group said Trump is only deporting about 1,000 people a day, and that’s just not fast enough, so we need to act! Yea cruelty! You can even get a T-shirt that announces you’re an ICE VOLUNTEER! Do I get a bounty?
The university said it did not support the students’ hatefest on campus, but wanted to protect free speech so they permitted the event. So what happened today?
The lone table sat outside Hayden Library with a pair of students from College Republicans United brandishing signs directing students to report classmates on ICE’s tip website. They were opposed by over 700 people, who protested by marching in a circle around them and led chants in support of the immigrant community.
Go, Sun Devils! The two Gestapo goons were surrounding by more than 700 student protesters. The Republicans stayed about an hour, talked to a few people, and left—for good, we can only hope. This group wants to end multiculturalism in education, so they plan a bigoted rally at a university whose student population is less than 42 percent white in a state that’s nearly one-third Hispanic. Brilliant move.
You fool some people sometimes, yeah
But you can't fool all the people all the time
'Cause now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right
