Why waving the Mexican flag at immigration rallies isn’t wrong
Los Angeles Times ^ | February 4, 2025 | By Gustavo Arellano

The sun was bright and the sky was blue on Saturday morning as I enjoyed breakfast with a friend at my wife’s restaurant in downtown Santa Ana.

We were talking about how Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will bounce all over the Kansas City Chiefs defense like a pinball during the Super Bowl, when the sound of faint yelling made us look outside.

Street preachers, boisterous hipsters and people blasting corridos and oldies are part of the neighborhood’s soundtrack, so we went back to our chat. But the faraway noise kept getting louder and louder until it began to sound like a roar.

Waving a foreign flag at protests is good trouble — a sign for the brave to rally together and stand tall against a commander in chief who understands nothing but chaos.


And trouble is what you may find

I like it when they wave the Mexican flag. It becomes a target rich environment.

I agree! It helps us identify them for deportation.

Lol that the most intellectual infantile possible statement by the LS Slimes

If you want the “brave” to rally against a US Commander in Chief in the USA, you don’t wave a foreign flag. That just proved the Commander in Chief’s point about being you all being illegal invaders

Who cares what they say is right and wrong?

Waving the Mexican flag is an act of war.

Stop Separating Families

The families were separated before coming into the U.S.

ICE just needs to surround one of these protests and interview each and every one of them as possible illegal aliens, and immediately deport all they find!

“Some twirled wooden noisemakers or held signs that read “Stop Separating Families” and “Relax Gringo I’m Legal.”

These “protestors” would have done better to be waving US Flags crying that they are now Americans——the visuals would have been different and the normies would have been questioning sending back the “undocumented”——But since they are not sending their best...well—look what we get...

FROM 2008 —

One can’t possibly fix a problem if they can’t identify what the problem is.

Or more succinctly...one can’t fix a problem if they can’t admit what the problem is...ie you can’t fix Mexico if you can’t get Mexicans to admit Mexico sucks....

Families can stay together and go back and apply legally.

“— a sign for the brave to rally together and stand tall against a commander in chief who understands nothing but chaos.”

But an Army of Northern Virginia battle flag....or the Gadsden....or Appeal to Heaven.......now that is racist!

Read the history of Mexico and the chaos, slaughter, death and demon filled crap-hole it is....and get back to me.

The Mex flag should only be flown only at the gates of hell.

Oh, wait.....it is.

The neighborhood Mexican supermarket was closed yesterday and posted a flyer in Spanish-no English. Musta been on strike over the gang bangers being deported. So I go there this morning to buy a dozen eggs-$12.

Waving the Confederate flag had always been the Southern way of expressing defiance. Then it was declared an act of racism by our betters and culturally outlawed.

Would this idiot give the okay to the Confederate flag?
