Inland Valley Daily Bulletin: Pomona College immigration debate ends prematurely

CLAREMONT – An immigration debate at Pomona College ended prematurely Thursday night when a group of students critical of the event began chanting protest slogans, drowning out the two speakers and fueling shouting matches between audience members.

Anti-immigration activist Marvin Stewart debated Jacob Hornberger, an open-borders advocate, for about an hour, often eliciting strong responses from the audience of nearly 600.
