Foreign flags create flap
Mexican banners at recent rallies prompt backlash

Recent immigration rallies in Denver and elsewhere have displayed more green, white and red than red, white and blue.
The prominence of Mexican and other foreign flags at the demonstrations has in turn created a backlash among supporters of tougher immigration laws.

Demonstrators say they carry flags from their native countries to show pride in their heritage and unity with fellow immigrants.

But those calling for a crackdown on illegal immigrants see the flags as a symbol of aggression and evidence supporting their claim that foreigners are taking over the country.

Conservative groups and commentators are railing about the flags. One nationally syndicated radio talk show host, Michael Savage, was so angry that he urged listeners Tuesday night to burn Mexican flags.

Interesting to learn about Chavez' anti-illegal stance. From your link:

Snip: We have a union called the United States. I just wonder if membership therein means anything anymore. Of course, there’s always cheap lettuce.
