"Go home," chanted the protesters. "We want to be safe."

 The hate-fueled protests remained non-violent, but were enough to reroute the busses to  San Ysidro. 

Originally, the plan had been to bus in a new wave of migrants from Texas to Southern California every 72 hours for a number of weeks, processing the migrants and then uniting those deemed refugees with family members throughout the country.
