- jackman0654, on 10/12/2007, -36/+117Evey Federal dollar should be with held from the city of Maywood. also there should be an investigation to see if federal law was violated. Then an Army of Federal law enforcement should be sent in to remove those that are in the town illegally.
- BullyJack, on 10/12/2007, -23/+93They have no interest in integration (learning the language, adopting our customs, disposing of soiled toilet paper in the toilet, etc).
I don't know about you, but if I move to Costa Rica I'm going to damn sure learn the language first thing (after I score one of those babes, that is). The last thing I'm going to do is desecrate their flag. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -22/+92As a hispanic myself, i agree with you. My problem is not with the hardworking legal mexican immigrants. My beef is with the illegal mexicans who have no respect for the law ( coming here illegally). What they did was wrong. I say give that town to mexico, and cut all ties from the us. If they people from there try an enter the US, just shoot em. Even if they are white.
- jackman0654, on 10/12/2007, -36/+106The illegal aliens and there supporters are doing great harm to there ambitions of turning the United States into another crap hole like Mexico. The American people are starting to wise up. Politicians had better wake up and realize this will be a bigger issue in the coming elections than Iraq or anything else. The Republic is in danger from an illegal invasion and they had better apply the brakes.
- Oracle95, on 10/12/2007, -32/+92Remove the flags and BURN them. That's what happened to our American flags in Texas last spring. Someone needs to teach these ungrateful parasites a lesson.
- candiru, on 10/12/2007, -18/+64Quit with the name calling, just express your ideas and opinions but don't fall into the guise of hate with terms like "wetbacks".
- antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -6/+48As a Hispanic, this makes me really sad. The Latinos there are claiming racism, while they are the only ones there being racist with signs calling white people KKK members. My family works really hard. And it's sad to see that all the hard work that my parents do, that my brothers do, and that I do to help change the prejudices against Latinos is undone in an instant by these idiots.
I want to see my people move forward and become a model for citizenry. But it will not happen. Not like this. - Oracle95, on 10/12/2007, -12/+53All this "we need to learn Spanish" to accommodate them is the most RACIST thing I've ever heard. Germans, Italians, Polacks, French, Irish, the list goes on. We all had to learn English and we need it in one generation through immersion. We those from Mexico say immersion doesn't work, are they saying that Mexicans have inferior intelligence or is there something else up their sleeves?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+49Problems systemic man, its the same here in Boston all you see are illegals mowing lawns and washing cars etc.. I berate no man for working to support himself/family but theres also a legit way to go about it, My Grandparents came here and landed at Ellis Island, guess what, they had to do things the LEGAL way to become American Citizens.
Including learning to speak ENGLISH. - arliet51, on 10/12/2007, -13/+50It is becomming prevalant throughout our country! It is discusting and it is not that hard to stop. I left CA over 20 years ago for reasons that were not exclusive to, but largely because of illegals who were pouring into the state. I now live in NC and 20 plus years later I see the same thing happening here. I recently did a subcontracting job in a local body shop who has about 18 employees, half of which were illegals. I would like nothing more than to get them deported but,..... who you gonna call? It really pisses me off!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+45Apple "Hoisted" the jolly roger on thier own property, theres a big difference between thier "own" property and FEDERAL property, when you moonbats can get that through your thick but albeit hollow heads we will have a start, until then just be glad your being represented by people who will fight for this Nation.
- panic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36"while chanting anti-American epithets"
it doesn't sound like these people like America very much. What are they doing here? - Jcon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+39Wibble, there is a huge difference in coming to this country, assimilating to the culture, and adding your own ethnic flavor to the mix, to demanding special concessions and requirements due to the fact you do not speak English. Learn, fit in, and add your uniqueness to the "Melting Pot" But attempting to insulate yourself, while demanding special treatment, is against the whole idea of what the US is. Do you think our Attorney General would be in his position if he demanded that the White House only speak Spanish? That any cases he handled could not be in English because it is his second language? It is fine to love your mother country, but you leave it for a reason. Adapt to where you are, do not try and change your new nation to what you want. IF they want a Spanish speaking nation, then return to there homeland, and try and improve the situation there. If you wish to stay here legally, welcome, learn our language, and get to work. We need to pull together.
- Oracle95, on 10/12/2007, -5/+38This isn't an issue of political parties. Reagan messed up by granting them amnesty, Bush Sr. and Clinton did nothing to stop the problem allowing another 12 million to enter this country.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -40/+71When are we going to do something about this, taking down the flag and replacing with that of another nation at a federal facility is not peaceful demonstration, its an act of war and since these wetbacks are presumably here illegally they have already declared war against our legal system. Round em up, throw em out, man the borders with armed humvees, come across and get shot. End of problem.
- mraty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32@Illustrious
I'm pro-Libertarian, but you do realize they stand for an open border, right?
http://www.lp.org/issues/immigration.shtml - jedi55555, on 10/12/2007, -8/+37Really, you are telling our Hispanic poster above that he is ethno-centric? The fact of the matter is that there are people in this country illegally and not just hispanics. These people should either become official citizens or they should be made to leave.
- Patented, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30@ Illustrious
You DO understand that the Libertarian policy towards immigration is completely opposite from the reason why you are voting for them?
The Libertarian view on immigration is very liberal, allowing anyone, at any time, to cross over. - saigumi, on 10/12/2007, -5/+34If they like Mexico that much to raise a flag, why aren't they still there?
- Captbob007, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30My barber came here from Italy, and feels very strongly that all immigrants should learn English. He always tells me (in his great italian accent): "When I get-a here, I have-a two choices. Learn English, or get back on-a the boat."
- Phearce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27No, it's a very serious issue to hoist the flag of a sovereign nation outside of that nation. This is not a simple "team pride" issue as you seem to be indicating in your diety comment above. Many would argue that it is an act of war.
The kicker is the American flag hanging LOWER on the mast than the Mexican flag. Disrepect doesn't get much clearer than that. For extra added insult, the American flag is only to be flown upside down as an indication of extreme emergency, i.e. like in an invasion. - BullyJack, on 10/12/2007, -20/+45I say we get all of our prisoners to build a wall.....today
- Jcon, on 10/12/2007, -10/+35No , the flag is not a deity, it is the approved banner representing the United Sates, flown on property belonging to said goverment, and is not just a whim. There is a huge difference between deity and official symbols. This would be the same if I walked up to your hose and began to paint it bright yellow because I like that color, then proceed to park broken down cars in your front yard, followed by garbage strewn across your lawn. Why should you complain? After all, it is just a house and yard, yours is no better than any other. Maybe I will let myself in, eat all the food and tear the furniture apart. After all, there is lots of furniture out there, yours, mine what does it matter who does what with it. It really does not matter, does it?
- jackman0654, on 10/12/2007, -17/+41Until the republican politicians are forced to understand the American people are serious about this issue nothing will be done. You can forget the democrats doing anything ever. If a Republican president is not elected in 2008 that understands the danger from this illegal invasion we might as well just turn the whole country over to Mexico and let them do for the United States what they have done for the crap hole called Mexico.
- lord2800, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26"...LEGALLY you don't have to learn English in order to become a citizen."
Yes you do. Go have another look at the immigration laws. There are very few exceptions to those who have to learn English to become naturalized citizens. - mjenkins, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Those people should be rounded up and sent back to their original homelands.
This is as close as I can come to finding a law against what they did.
California Military and Veteran's Code:
616. Any person who displays a red flag, banner, or badge or any flag, badge, banner, or device of any color or form whatever in any public place or in any meeting place or public assembly, or from or on any house, building, or window as a sign, symbol, or emblem of forceful or violent opposition to organized government or as an invitation or stimulus to anarchistic action or as aid to propaganda that advocates by force or violence the overthrow of government is guilty of a felony. - DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24"That's why I'm parking a protest vote with the Libertarians next time around."
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. - Inigo Montoya
From LP.org:
"We condemn the xenophobic immigrant bashing that would build a wall around the United States. At the same time, we recognize that the right to enter the United States does not include the right to economic entitlements such as welfare. The freedom to immigrate is a freedom of opportunity, not a guarantee of a handout.
A policy of open immigration will advance the economic well-being of all Americans. All major recent studies of immigrants indicate that they have a high labor force participation, are entrepreneurial, and tend to have specialized skills that allow them to enter under-served markets. Although it is a common misconception that immigrants "take jobs away from native-born Americans," this does not appear to be true. In 1989, the U.S. Department of Labor reviewed nearly 100 studies on the relationship between immigration and unemployment and concluded that "neither U.S. workers nor most minority workers appear adversely affected by immigration." - Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27https://tips.fbi.gov/
You can report them here... - ASHole71, on 10/12/2007, -12/+32The protesters put the Mexican flag up after the post office closed and took down the American flag.
- HarryBauzonia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24No. We see them as lawbreakers.
You want these people? Then set aside some space in your own yard and go buy some tents. Buy enough groceries to feed them and pay for their medical care yourself. Don't get in a hissy fit demanding that the rest of us foot the bill for something that you want to support.
Put your money where your mouth is or STFU. - Tabris, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Who's being racist? They're raising a Mexican flag on federal property. They have no reason to be here.
- repins, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21It is not racist to expect people to respect the laws of your country and your borders.
I see them as human brothers and sisters, but that does not change the fact that they committed a crime and that crime should have consequenses. Being deported is one of those consequenses. A mass murderer, child molester or a theif are also human brothers and sisters, but they are not treated the same as normal people. - Phearce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Sec 3 (g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
Sec4 (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
Federal Flag code: http://www.bcpl.net/~etowner/flagcode.html - SuperGhost, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21The reason you get Spanish speaking call centers is quite simple, marketing. You should be going after the businesses that support multilingual call centers. To them it's profit. It burns me up when the first thing I hear is "Press 1 for Spanish." When my family immigrated here they learned the language, paid taxes, learned this country's history and became citizens.
- lunchbucket, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25Tancredo?
http://www.denverpost.com/andrews/ci_4220118 - HarryBauzonia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21more....
I got my family here legally and I demand the same of Mexicans. They're not more important than everyone else in the world. - BPete, on 10/12/2007, -9/+26Someone said "give then that town" I think not. Go through that town and remove everyone without a green card. End of that problem there. English is the talk of the country. End there. STOP the flow at the border and THEN clear out the folks that are law breakers. End there. Hey, this is making sense to me.
- SteelChicken, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23they got bored back at home in their own ***** of a country so they wish to spread the joys of living in slums.
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Mexicans are lucky that people are somewhat more tolerant here in the US. If you go to any other country they would be beaten up badly or even murdered on sight.
I am an Asian living in the US right now, and this is highly discomfiting. Does this give me the right to wave around my country's flag here?
How about people go to Mexico and start waving the US flag? Let's see how tolerant they are there. - repins, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21If you break the law to get here you do not deserve to be here. By allowing illegal immigrants to stay we cheapen the sacrifices and commitment of those who came here legally. If their home country will not allow them to leave, that is a problem in their home country not a problem with US immigration policy. Saying we need illegal aliens is like saying we need criminals to give the police department something to do.
- SteelChicken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18WAVING their flag is fine.
assaulting US Federal property, removing the US Flag and replcaing it with the flag of a foriegn nation is an act of war in my opinion. At the very least, they should goto jail for a bit. - Shawnosaurus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21Apparently "illegal" doesn't mean what I thought it meant. All this time I thought that if I did something "illegal" I was in trouble. Now I know.
- lord2800, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20No, I view illegals as people unwilling to stand the trials of legal immigration. I know the system is a ***** to go through, but that doesn't mean you should game it. The fact that they illegally crossed also speaks volumes about their stance in regards to other laws. Who's to say they won't casually ignore the laws about shoplifting if they casually ignored the laws about immigration?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+27"The pacifist is as surely a triator to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer"
Kind of applies to those with your mindset. - Flump5000, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22if they want to join our country so bad then why do they try to get us pissed off at them?
- RegisteredUser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Wow. This incident is a lot worse than that billboard from a local Spanish language TV station. It really stirred up some controversy here in Los Angeles.
http://michellemalkin.com/archives/002230.htm
I think after a couple weeks, the station had those billboards taken down or the "Los Angeles, Mexico" part was covered over. - ASHole71, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18and don't forget La Raza
- jtsai256, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15This is seriously messed up. I don't see this as helping their cause at all.
- musters, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15by that definition, maybe you should say America is TWO continents...
- Linkage155, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16>>SteelChicken
Completly agree, THESE people, that were in THIS event should be punished, just like any other crime, with any other person. -
