You’re joking, right, about deporting him for putting the flag over his shoulders?

Medalists and spectators have been draping American flags over themselves daily. A day or two ago, I saw an athlete’s mother with the American flag over her shoulders like a shawl. You may not like flags being used like that, but the horse left the barn a long time ago on this one.

No one is doing it to disrespect the flag. In their own way, they are wearing it proudly. They are just clueless about the fact that traditional flag etiquette does not permit this.

And people have been breaking laws ever since there were laws and not everyone who breaks a law is arrested and sent to prison.

However, some people that break laws are arrested and charged with their crime and simply because the police did not arrest the mother wearing the flag as a shawl, does not mean that this running illegal Alien should not be arrested.
