Legal residents were kicked out of a meeting Monday night in Huntington Park, California.
The city was holding a meeting to discuss the hiring of two illegals to its advisory board.
Unreal.

Huntington Park is making history and not everyone is happy about it.
Councilman Jhonny Pineda announced at Monday night’s city council meeting the appointment of two undocumented immigrants as commissioners, CBS2/KCAL9’s Kara Finnstrom reports.
“You are out of order!” one woman in the crowd yelled at the councilmembers during the meeting.
Some critics say Pineda, who joined the council in March, specifically picked Medina and Zatarain because they worked on his campaign. Others say they don’t believe undocumented immigrants should serve the government this way.
“We’re sending the wrong message: you can be illegal and you can come and work for the city,” a woman told Finnstrom.
Pineda stresses that the two appointees would not be paid – federal law prohibits that – and that they will have no power to determine city policy.
