Note how this propaganda piece mentions not a word about the reconquista messages on posters and signs, or on the websites of groups like MeCHa and the La Raze email... Sure that may not be how they all feel, but certainly some of them are Reconquista supporters and a balanced article would have mentioned them.

If they're so "proud" of Mexico, then they should go home.

Scholars who equate the Irish flag with the Mexican flag are propagandists. Everybody knows modern Ireland didn't come into existence until long after the arrival of the Irish in America.
It was American demand that brought about the creation of Free Ireland ~ the Brits agreed as part of the price paid for our aid in WWI.
Ergo, Ireland is about as American as you can get ~ a child even. Mexico is its own place and relishes the difference. Their flag should be kept at home.

What a heaping, steaming pile of BS. The Irish flag is carried on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate the heritage of multi-generational Americans. The Mexican flag is carried by non-citizens to protest against the native population. These people don't want to go back to Mexico, they want the southwest US to become Mexico.

AP is spinning, spinning, and spinning.
Those "protesters" were far from dignified, they were disrespectful to their hosts.

If they love Mexico so much, then they need to go back there.

Let me see, I'm sure there's something....um...Poverty? No, wait, how about drug trade? Or, let's see, corruption from top to bottom? Maybe not, but how about filth, disease, and child prostitutes?
Ok, I give up. I can't think of a thing.

We couldn't ask for more. Evertime they carry those flags another 10,000 Americans turn against them and become activists. They're sealing their own doom. Keep it up.

When I see the protesters with signs saying "Viva la Raza" (roughly "Long live our race") I want to know how this is any different than than other groups with signs saying "White Power".

Perhaps we should react to Mexican marching through the streets under the banner of Mexico in the same manner my ancestors did at the Alamo?

If they are so "proud" of Mejico, then go the hell back there.

Folks of Irish descent carry the flag on ONE DAY a year to celebrate ONE DAY. There's no talk of "taking anything back. The Mecha/Aztlan movement is a growing, steady, and has a more than subversive "we will not be defeated" undercurrent that is in your face and decidedly hostile.
Yeah. Now we see the backtracking and "oh, we didn't mean to disrespect you gringos, especially if it means our meal ticket might go away". Not an apology, mind you.

"The Mexican flag is like a symbol of dignity and identity and pride for the people who carry it,"
Then be dignified and GO HOME! Pronto!

In America, be you of Mexican, Italian, German, Polish, or even "Confederate" descent, you have a right to carry that flag. See Columbus Day in Chicago.

"The Mexican flag is like a symbol of dignity and identity and pride for the people who carry it," That's a crock! Germany also had a national flag before the Swastika replaced it these marchers are thumbing their noses at immigration and the United States. They refuse to speak English, refuse to assimilate, and refuse to obey the law
..and they are getting away with it because of our intimidated politicians and liberal un-American academics i.e. school board members, churches and others that have successfully removed American roots from the history books in the name of Diversity and Multicultureism.
