Good for them, it's their Country anyway.

yes and no. The recent additions are just looking for the free kick-backs.

nice nef though.

by not taking any action, in a way we ARE handing over the country.

now, not ALL illegals simply hopped a border (though i would imagine the majority have). some people simply had INS paperwork lost (happened to quite a few students at my college) and were therefore, technically "illegal"

Backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.

Police officers in Maywood, Calif., Saturday eventually came to the pole to remove the flag but had bottles and rocks thrown at them, a radio listener named Sandra reported to the Terry Anderson show, heard on KRLA in Los Angeles....

I am completely against what these people did but please don't try to flame the fire. I have seen plenty of videos of people getting their ass beat by people like you for flag-related acts. It's unusual that they were able to "get away" with this.

excuse me? flame the fire? people like me? WTF?

Freedom of speech, right to protest = no problem. In fact freedom is what our flag stands for

But when you tear down the flag then you deserve nothing but a swift kick in the ass back to Mexico.

This is absolutely sickening. Thousands of men died defending our country against the Germans, the Japanese etc, and now we're just going to stand by while some pissant Mexicans take down our flag on our own soil? There should have been someone with a flamethrower there to torch the whole lot of them.

Wake up.

Like this is unexpected.

It's meant to probe, to test our response.

Im up in washington..our first all spanish tv station just went on the air july 31.
Seattle is recognized as the 28th largest hispanic market in the country hence our brand new station.
Seems to me the immigrants of old desired above all else to be americans and sought to largely intigrate with our society.
That seems to have changed, now they want to come here and turn it into twice the toilet the country they just came from is.
I don't believe we need immigrants with attitudes like that. Be they from Mexico, Middle east, asia or wherever.

Sad how so many people are over reacting. They are just expressing, their outrage over the racism. They have every right to do what they did. It doesn't hurt you.

so i should be able to go to mexico, take over a post office and rip down its flag (assuming it has one) and hoist a USA flag? i'm pretty sure i'd have a crowd ready to kick my ass in record time.

:laugh:

Racism! :laugh: Oh god, that's funny. Illegal immigrants are acting out because everyone else is RACIST!! hahahaha :laugh:

Anyway...

It's stuff like this that makes people hate Mexicans and other people groups. If all you ever hear about is Mexicans or other people grouups doing something stupid like this and all you ever see in your own neighborhood is Mexicans or other people groups trashing the place and generally acting sub-human, then eventually you're going to think about them as such and eventually start treating them as such.

No one wonders, we already know you are a biggot.

Oh jesus christ :laugh:

Let me guess... you're a mexican? I'd be willing to bet money that you're a mexican and you're just taking offense to this and bringing racism into this because YOU are the one that's racist.

Agreed. It doesn't happen overnight, but slowly by forcing your culture into the other.

First - require documents in your language
Second - for your language to be taught in schools
Third - demand other cultural byproducts like radio stations
Fourth - once your engrained enough, start demanding rights and play the victim/racism card.
Fifth - game over, you are so deeply ingrained in the country's culture and laws that you cannot be removed.

Wake up people - this is a full scale invasion.

Where exactly did you find out the protesters were illegals?


It would be doubly bad if American citizens did this. I don't believe in burning the flag (people may say its only cloth but it represents a larger archetype) but I won't say another doesn't have the right to burn it in protest. My problem is the lowering of our colors and the raising of the Mexican flag on American soil in a public display in a public place forcibly. I am sorry, but this wrong.

As doze and another stated if I went down to Mexico and raised the American flag (while lowering the Mexican flag and stomping on it) I don't think I would get a, "look at the beloved patriot being goofy haha." This is a provactive act that should never be allowed again.

As I said earlier I cringe when I think of Iwo Jima. Just ...
