🚨 “PAID TO PROTEST”: El Cajon Mayor Claims Anti-ICE Activists Are Earning Up to $120K a Year 🚨Bill Wells, the Mayor of El Cajon, California, has sparked a viral firestorm after claiming that the high-intensity anti-ICE protests sweeping the nation are not organic movements, but highly funded professional operations.In a recent interview, Mayor Wells alleged that the "top-tier" agitators currently clashing with federal agents are receiving significant financial backing:Brookerteejones: "What if we, as Republicans, would have went to the border and protested? Instead, we just let everybody come in."Bill Wells: "You know why? It's because we don’t have a George Soros that’s funding these operations. These people are being paid between $80,000 and $120,000 a year to be paid protesters. When you’re a paid protester and you're kind of a wingnut, those two things go hand in hand. And yes, you’ll fly to other cities and stay there and put your body at risk of fighting the federal government. There’s an anarchy happening that I worry about. I know people are compassionate, and I get that. I want to be compassionate towards people too. But if you start throwing out the laws of the federal government and saying, "Well, I’ll follow this law but I won’t follow that law, I’ll be an anarchist here but I won’t be an anarchist there, I’ll fight against anarchy in some other way," then you're just inviting the destruction of the country as a whole. Because without the rule of law, we’re going to fold."
