How would they feel if we went to MEXICO and Burned their flag!!!! :angry

Hi Gang,
I can’t speak for you guys but this picture makes my blood boil and I will “Never Stop Sending It Out”! I sincerely hope that all of you, as America Citizens, feel the same. God Bless.
You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major news networks. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High School in California.

I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail.

Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed" to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray". Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one.........

The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.

 
If this ticks YOU off...PASS IT ON!

Well... I know what kind of message they are trying to send... but that is pretty accurate if taken literally.

The flag being flown upside down is a sign of distress, and considering what is happening from south of the border, it kind of makes sense, but not in the way the protesters intended.

As much as it  upsets me to see that, the people have every right to protest (it's right there in the constitution).  Just as you and I have every right to be upset and counter point their protest.

That is an old photo. Just a bunch of kids trying to get attionion. They have no clue as to what the real issues are or what is really going on. Let it go and they'll be back working at the drive thru before you know it.

My fiancee is a High School History teacher so it kind of upsets her.  She has to deal with a lot of morons.  She's got some stories to tell me everday.

The lesson that the rest of the country needs to get from these idiotic protests, here in the L.A. area, is that your town will be next, if you keep voting for Republicians who do nothing to help this situation or for the Democrats who are actually incouraging this type of mentality. :angry

My take on it is this...........in Mexico, they get to shoot the perps, then ask questions.
Here in the good ole USA, the I'll stand up for the flag anyday USA, has way too many "Politically Correct" idiots running around, who want to save everyones As*es, except there own.
We are being taken over under our own noses. And don't get me going about "immigration should be open", heck, you want to live here, go right ahead, immigrate legally and pay your taxes like we all do to support their silly "sent my money home to Mexico asses." The bumper sticker that sticks in my mind and really rubs my butt says it all. "WORK HARDER 3 million Californians on support depend on you"
So don't get me started, you wanna stop em, give the damn troops at the border "LOADED" magazines and let em pop one as they come over the fence..that'll make think twice.
They do it that way at the Guatamalan border. keeps em out of Mexico. Thats my 2 cents, for what it's worth............ :banghead

the sad thing is they are not just doing it during protests.  You can cruise down some main streets here in Vista and see Mex flags being flown on top of American Flags in several places.  Our flag is not upside down mind you, but that is still wrong by the laws or our country!  
If you are going to live in our country, please respect it and the people who live here, if you cannot respect it, go home!

What are they protesting?  Anyone here can get a free (or nearly) education regardless of citizenship status.  They can't be turned away from a hospital emergency room even if they don't have insurance. Our Commander in Chief is even pushing for comprehensive immigration reform.  They don't even realize how good they have it.  :rolleyes

BTW, there is already a legal path to citizenship.

The sad part about it all, our Country is permitting this to happen.  Indecision is a decision and we as a nation are not decisive and ready to make a stand about "what is right."  Theirfore we are restricting our patroll officers, border patroll agents from doing their job.  

This group of people do not respect our flag.....they do not respect our country.  And our politicial figures are remaining neutral for their own gain.  Which causes the protesters to have their say.

I have friends who have come into this country from Mexico and have gained their US citizenship.  Hats off to them.

You can't go forward looking back!

Being that I have two brothers (my twin currently is in Afghanistan) who have served multiple tours in combat I take great offense at what was being depicted. Also, as far as the imigration thing goes. My famiy has a long and proud history from other countries including Mexico, the only difference is that they came here the right way with the right mind-set that they would contribute and be productive. While we're on the subject though.... ask the Native Americans what happened when they failed to control or stop the flow of imigrants.

OK I agree that the kids in the photo have the right to protest... They DO NOT have the right to break laws!! There are laws stating that NO FLAG will be flown on American soil Higher than the American Flag. Federal law states that the American Flag be the highest flag flown when flown with other flags...By a minimum of 3" if I'm not mistaken. (I had a big 4x4 truck years ago flying the American flag and a Confederate flag and a State Trooper actually measured the height of the flags to be sure the American flag was at least 3" higher.  It's also a respect issue there! I understand there are immagrints. If you immagrate to the USA you Pledge Alligents to the USA and denounce the country in which you came.

if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all
