The American Flag Comes Second

THE AMERICAN FLAG COMES SECOND By Michelle Malkin · March 29, 2006 01:15 AM 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. You should (hat tip: Mika and F/R):

03/28 : Student protest

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

Meanwhile: Mexico Cheers Passage of Immigration Bill

Like I said: Welcome to reconquista.

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.

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

"The American flag upside-down is a signal of distress and a call for help."

The idiots probably don't know that.

''There were over 100 organizations that were working on this,'' she said, referring to the Chicago demonstration. ''The Spanish language deejays were really helpful in telling people that H.R. 4437 [the House immigration measure] is a horrible bill and that unless we get in the streets and tell them about it, that kind of anti-immigration policy could become reality.''

In Los Angeles, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1877, a janitor's union, provided security for the protests and coordinated around one hundred buses that dropped off protesters from around the country.

The Minutemen......

I believe a serious and large sudden surge in Minutemen support would be a call to arms for alot of people, in more than one way.

SEIU scares the h&ll out of me. I think they are an anti-American group disguised as a union. They have gone after the lowest paying positions, janitor, etc, and I think they were organized in the first place by people who are in favor of LaRaza taking back Kalifornia, Ariz, etc.

Well you would predict wrong. Republicans don't care anymore than Democrats about what their constituencies believe. We will have a guest worker/amnesty program signed by El Presidente by the end of the summer, if not long before

You've hit the nail on the head. SEIU are thugs.

We've raised a generation of illegals in our public schools thanks to the U.S Supreme Court's mandate back in Pyler vs Doe in 1982. The verdict is: they owe no loyalty to this country. The multicultural conceit and Hate America mindset of the Left preached in our public schools has come home to roost. Why are people so shocked? Any one with half a brain could have told you this was going to happen.

I think we're going to get the legalized theft of our country out of Washington. I'd love to be proven wrong but our politicians shredded the Constitution long ago. Now they're conducting a fire sale of what's left of America.

if used properly, its a signal of distress. used in this fashion, placed second to another country's flag, it is a direct insult.

Jeff Schwartz, the principal of Monebello spoke to me by phone and said these students shown were from another school district participating in one of those marches.

They stoped in front of Montebello for this protest.

The Montebello students were inside, doors locked by security.

The police were on site and let the protest run its course.

Once again, not Montebello students.

Of course. But my guess is our politicians are more concerned with hispandering and dismantling our middle class than they are with protecting our borders and upholding the honor of Old Glory. These are the same nimwits that won't even pass an amendment banning flag burning. Its not even a symbol or even a piece of cloth. Don't you all get it? America has died.

The principal of this school should be shot for treason.

I've just been told by one of my neighbors (who was calling me to get info on FR) that this happened today in Houston.

She was so angry that her voice was shaking.

I'm not in such a great mood myself.

You sign up at the White House. But they'll arrest you for Crimes Against Compassion.

Guess again, our "leaders" will do what ever it takes to appease the invaders.
