Look what’s going on in Harvard.

The Mexican government has apparently rented the Harvard Junior High School so they can pass out matricula consular identification cards.

The report below says there was also voter registration.

The photos and commentary was provided by people who attended the Friday demonstration.

Saturday, the demonstrators moved to Route 14 south of Harvard, where they held forth from 11-2. They invited readers to join them Sunday, same time, same place.

Below is the text I received from Diane Evertson:

Field Report for July 18, 2008
Mexican Consulate in Harvard, Illinois

Morning started with the Mexican Consulate erecting a banner – 3’ x 6’ – saying “Mexican Consulate is Here” directly in front of our rally area.

Apparently our presence caused some confusion within the Mexican brain-drain populous. (Gosh, we’re sooo sorry.)

We also noted several coming in the Jr. High driveway covering their faces so as not to be recognized, and several who saw us filming them and their vehicles and changed their minds about coming in.

One of the consulate officials spoke to the police about our filming and wanted it stopped.

Sorry, but no way, Jose. His concern, which he conveyed to the police, was that we would be putting the photos out on the internet. Bingo!!

Also, two of our people used the washroom facilities at the Jr. High yesterday. Today the former Superintendent, Richard Crosby, sent out a female District employee (Janice I believe) to tell us that our people are no longer able to use the facilities or enter the building, because the Consulate had rented the building and only people with appointments are allowed to enter.

(SaI think perhaps we made them nervous.

Our rally will move to Route 14 (the main highway in town) tomorrow (Saturday; planning on Sunday, too) in front of the new Castle Bank building under construction.

Early on this afternoon we were treated to a drama that could easily have been a high-priced ticket item, especially if it had been followed by a good dinner.

A young lady was walking up the driveway carrying a box of paperwork when she put the box down, put her hand over her heart and proceeded to tell our people, in a shaky, teary voice, how her “heart hurts” because we are so full of hate. Seeing us there just makes her ashamed to be an American.

It was a beautiful show. A thousand apologies for not getting it on film.

Oh, the best part? She claimed to be a lawyer (working for the Consulate, of course)! Shortly thereafter she walked back down the driveway, down the street a couple houses, got in her cdrove back up the driveway. No wonder she’s a lawyer & not a brain surgeon!

See, when you go out for rallies, folks, there is just no end to the fun..

We added another sign to our collection today.

It reads:

Illegals Register Here.

Will get the photos for you to see. It was so great because the Mexicans all started coming to us like we were going to give them the Matriculas. Several pulled over to our taped area to ask questions. It was also obvious that many of them are, indeed, illiterate in two languages. It’s really a beautiful thing we do!

By the way, I’d like to send accolades out to our people who showed up to keep us company in (again) 90 degree weather and extremely high humidity.
