On Tuesday, some people plan to protest a bus that they think will be carrying about 40 undocumented immigrant children to a school in Oracle, Arizona.

The protestors are inspired by those of Murrieta, California, who on July 2 were led by Mayor Alan Long and forced buses carrying immigrant children into the town to make a detour.

Last week, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu alerted residents that some of the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors from Central America caught crossing the U.S. border illegally since October would be sent to Sycamore Canyon Academy, a school for at-risk and troubled children, Associated Press reports.

"We don't know who they are," Robert Skiba, protest organizer, said. "We don't know their health conditions. We don't know a doggone thing because the federal government isn't telling us anything."

According to protestors, the school is already crowded, and 40 new children would be detrimental. News 4 KOVA reports that the school has hired 30 new staff members in response to the additions.

"This is an area that's very primitive," Skiba explained to Breitbart News. "The current facility is almost at capacity. How are they going to handle the sewage? They're sneaking these people in the back door, and we're not supposed to know anything about it ... Putting these 40 kids up in this beautiful place, this is like putting these kids in the country club."

Skiba, who is 85 years old and served in the U.S. Air Force, said he is ready for anything on Tuesday.

"We're prepared for whatever happens," he said. "If they want to send in the SWAT team, armored cars, helicopters, let them do it. We'll have the media out there."

Skiba and protestors won't be the only ones meeting the bus, however. Immigrants-rights groups plan to be there as well.

"They are using fear and hatred in hopes of generating demonstrations similar to recent events in Murrieta, California," Somos America Coalition, a nonprofit Latino civil rights group, told AP. "[The group] condemns those actions and seeks to provide a peaceful alternative to the fear-based panic which is being caused by the recklessness of tea party agitators and Sheriff Paul Babeu."
