Yep, I saw the "We are Americans" waving their Mexican flag.

Samkat - That bout says it all. Very well put.

Yeah sure, you jerks, the flags that flooded the place today, red & white horizontal stripes, and 50 white stars on a blue background are Mexican flags. The place was loaded with people carrying and waving American flags. I think you faux-patriots are really ticked off because U.S. citizens who appear to be of Hispanic descent are carrying "your" flag. How dare they, huh? And how dare they exercise their First Amendment freedoms.
You might have seen one Mexican flag, and you might have seen one VFW flag and one American Legion flag, and you might have seen two people carrying a large crucifix. (Oh horrors.) If interested, you'll find flags of many nations, including Mexico, also flying at the U.N. Building in NYC, flags of Ireland in our St. Patrick's Day parades, flags of Germany at our Oktoberfest celebrations. Imagine that! And in OUR country -- or in what you perceive to be YOUR country.

These La Rata protesters have been schooled in Latino Studies, told that THEY are the rightful owners of North and South America.
There is no re-schooling them, but they will have to learn more on their own, about history and geography, National borders and sovereign rights regarding Immigration.
If they do not, they are doomed to scream, rant in vain.
They will NOT be given a free pass to invade and take over the US. Somehow, someone has to get through to them, the reality of life, rather than the lies they have been fed by their handlers.

Adelfa Lugo- It's not "Anti-immigrant", it ILLEGAL ALIEN. There is a difference. Supporters only want to pretend it's about race, when it's not....

forkedlift- I have no problem with a protest, until it breaks the law. This was PLANNED law breaking. It's criminal, just like the criminal that they wish to support.
As for flags at the UN? What else could one expect? No one complained about that. However, I have pictures of students of HISPANIC/LATINO ancestry flying the Mexican flag over the US flag, which was purposely hung upside down.
What about 3-4 students rights to wear an American flag style t-shirt on May 5th, but they get kicked out? I noticed you didn't mention ANYTHING about events like that....

Illegal is illegal. All citizens must abide by the law...that's why those who are here illegally are called ILLEGAL ALIENS!... they are not abiding by the law. Now that I've explained that to you, everyone please donate to:

Well hell, MR666, since the term "illegal" connotes something that is done, not an adjective to describe a person, and you have been misusing the term for many months, and always in caps, I guess they figured they might as well live up to the correct definition of the word.
But your post reveals that you knew that all along, and that your insidious and repetitious term ILLEGAL ALIEN, while incorrectly "juicy," also reveals the stupidity of the user....which is you.

msk8te,
Ditto of the above.
