Many of the demonstrators wore white and carried signs that read "We are Americans!" and "We march today, we vote tomorrow." A large number of Mexican and American flags were part of the protest, which followed two weeks of careful planning that included an effort to encourage participants to wave American flags.

"The more American flags, the better this is going to be," said Ben Monterroso, an organizer with Service Employees International Union Local 1877.

Migrant advocates have expressed concerns that throngs of people waving Mexican flags might spark a backlash. Organizers of Sunday's event scrambled to find as many American flags as they could to distribute to marchers.

This could get ugly very quick. Might even result in martial law.

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!!!!!!!

WE totally missed the PERFECT FReep opportunity. Dammit!!!!!!

When we figured out that the invaders and their enablers were going to pull a do-over on their offensive marches and this time do it with Americans flags (in hopes that they'll actually fool some people this time), we should have ALL rushed out and bought the stores totally OUT of American flags. Then, the invaders wouldn't have had an American Flag to wave as part of their dishonest propaganda spectacle. Yeah, there would have been a handful of American flags there, or some hand drawn ones, but we could have headed them off if we'd been quick enough and smart enough. < Kicking self really hard >

One law that needs to be passed ASAP is a national law like Arizona's Prop 200. It requires all voters to show valid ID before voting or getting any type of public assistance.

Immigrant - another term used to confuse the language. A border-crasher is NOT an immigrant.

The Germans, the Poles, the French, the Irish - came into his country legally. They were called "immigrants".

The Mexican wetbacks who sneak in to the United States under cover of darkness are one with burglars, second story men and thieves. They are called "foreign trespassers" in my book.

Lets not abuse the language. And speak English.

GO BACK TO MEXICO, FOREIGN TRESPASSERS!!!!!!!
