SAN DIEGO — A Liberty Station museum whose mission it is to provide educational programs about immigrant experiences was targeted by vandals Saturday morning.

Messages were discovered on two exhibition signs at the New Americans Museum. Staff were alerted to the messages written on signs outside the gallery by a tour patron. Other visitors had gathered and were photographing them.

• “Too much immigration! Go back to your country. This one is ours.”
• “Overpopulation & crowding by immigration!”
