Ping!

I’m sure this will Obama get amnesty passed ;) Keep it up illegals.

If they want respect, they should be in school, excelling academically.

If they want respect, it would help if they behaved with dignity and self-restraint.

[Americanexpat]

Every American kid in California should wear a flag t-shirt the same day.

[brytlea]

You cannot demand respect. You must earn it.

[pallis]

Pick them up for truancy, and make them show their papers.

I know what it celebrates... it's a celebration of bullsh#t. Corona and Dos Equis made it big on the border and resort towns.... it would be like "bunker hill" day... or "Trenton day"..

My advice is to "stay thirsty my friend".

Time for a fact check. This is the USA each and every day of the year. Each and every day of the year the US flag represents every speck of land in our nation. This is mexico for not a single second of any minute of any hour of any day of any week of any month of any year. The mexican flag does not represent any part of the USA at all ever.

AMEN!!!

[afnamvet]

Respect is earned not granted. These are Mexican students leaving school and protesting. Nothing American about them.

[Stand Watch Listen]

inconceivable!!!

[Lucky9teen]

Sounds like 200 students who need:

1) to be suspended
2) to be properly educated
3) to be deported to Mexico

and maybe all of the above?

Arrest them for being truant”

Arrest them also for holding any kind of ‘march’ or demonstration without a permit.

Permits are required for the type of actions they are holding.

Round them up & check how many of them are here illegally.

Track back to their families & check them out. Kids might have been born here- but lots of older Mixicans have been here for a number of years without papers.

Thanks Corona, keep the lime.

I've heard those ordered here'abouts as: "Corona NFL".

It's not referring to the football league.

[Enchante]

Respect? These bozos deserve only contempt.

[Jack Black]

This is a bad situation, to be sure. And I understand what you are doing, I guess. But I still think we as freepers need to be accurate in our reporting, as we are now a primary news source.

I therefore have to mildly object to you posting five year old pictures of an event in LA and not putting them in context.

The clear implication you have created is that these kids in Morgan Hill have taken down the US flag and replaced it with a Mexican flag flying over a upside down stars and stripes. This did happen, once upon a time in LA, but not this week.

Now, I will agree that the two incidents are very similar, and the former can and should be brought up now to remind people that this is not the first time we've seen this.

But that still allows for proper captions and background. I'd hate to see Freepers now start saying "they were flying the flag upside down" when, as far as I know, that didn't happen in this case.

Why were they called Mexican-American students when a significant number (perhaps a majority) were illegal aliens? Mexican students illegally attending American schools would have been a more accurate description.

[Fire_on_High]

It would be a great time to check their papers.

[RC one]

that particular incident happened a while back actually. We discussed it at length here at FR. There have been multiple similar incidents before that and after that however. Mexicans have a way of not assimilating into American culture. They tend to retain their national identity as evidenced by, for example, hoisting the Mexican flag above a US flag and making no attempt to learn English. This is, IMO, largely attributed by a consensus view within their group that the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was illegitimate and that we are the illegal occupants on their land. that is, of course, false.

They’re marching because FOUR students dared to wear American flags? Four?
