Tanimura & Antle lettuce crews insult America on 9-11

It has been reported to me that the lettuce crews of Tanimura & Antle are flying large mexican flags over their harvesting machines. They have insultingly placed smaller American flags, upside down on the machines, as a sign, I believe of disrepect. These crews are working in Salinas, at Blanco and Davis Rds.

Generous America gives them jobs housing drivers licenses health care education and soon in state tutition for college to these foreign nationals. They in turn do this.

If you live near any Ag areas, I'll bet this isn't a isolated case and you will find this kind of insult against American and the tradgedy of 9-11 in many places today.

Ah yes, Dolores Huerta, another evil spawn of Saul Alinski.

I agree with all you have just said and have had this opinion since I was at UCLA in the 60's and saw the first expressions of a radicalized and militant Mexican student movement.

The left set out to destroy the US. Fostering illegals was just one of the prgrams. The first battleground to prevent the disintegration of the country will likely be Kalifornia for the reasons you've stated.

We're going to have our hands full.

But, I still think I'm correct about the significance of the bumper stickers. Of course, this is insignificant in view of the larger problem concerning our brown brothers.

The mexican flags are probably being displayed for
Mexican Independence day which officialy starts next week but is celebrated for more then a week.

I was in Mexico right after 911, flags and celebrations every where.

"Today Mexican Independence Day is a major celebration in Mexico, bigger than Cinco de Mayo. The people of Mexico celebrate with a fiesta. A fiesta is a party or festival. Fiestas are held for many different reasons that vary from honoring a person, to events in Mexico's history. Fiestas can be simple or elaborate and can last from one day, up to a week or more. There are many things that can happen during a fiesta, some of these things are colorful parades, music, dancing, eating spicy food, drinking strong drinks, bullfights, rodeos, and fireworks. Vendors come and set up booths to sell toys, souvenirs, food and drinks.

The celebrating begins on September 15 (the eve of Independence Day) by having crowds of people gather in the zocalos (town meeting place) of cities, towns, and villages. In Mexico City a huge square is decorated with flags, flowers and lights of red, white, and green. People sell confetti, whistles, horns, paper-machete helmets, and toys in the colors of red, white and green."

You'd think they would focus their wrath on their own government, and do something about corruption down in Mexico.

I agree. But the will to fight for Liberty is something that cannot be imported.

Thinking about it from their point of view, it is far easier to "petition the (American) government (and its fair-minded citizens) for a redress of (supposed) grievences", than to organise and fight for those same needs in their homeland.

Same reason all those folks from Europe moved to the US in the 19th and early 20th century. Path of least resistance.

Speaking to those here who think they should be "grateful" to the "generous" Norte Americanos. You people are either blind to, or ignorant of, human nature. Each of those migrants, if he has an ounce of self-respect, thinks himself the equal, or better, of any man. They know that they work hard, they know that their work is not fairly compensated and they know that someone else, certainly not themselves or their families, is benefiting from the labor they perform.

The seeds of Communism are being planted in the hearts of everyone of these men and women. They, given the right circumstances, would kill every landowner they could lay their hands on. Peons, serfs, peasants and coal-miners, when not well-fed, well-house and well cared for, have done this since the beginning of time.

Keeping them out would solve the short-term problem, but the farmers need the laborers and would import them illegally (as well they do) regardless of the sanctions. Closing the border to Mexico is not something our Government, including El Presidente Bush, "War-Hero" McBlame, Hitlerly or Boxer/Feinstein have the stomach for. The "Latino" vote is now too important. On top of that constituency, Big Business, in the form of Tyson Foods, Perdue Chicken, Con-Agra, Archer-Daniels-Midland and others, REQUIRE the cheap, underpaid, under-represented, under educated, and compliant LABOR.

The only possible, long term, solution is to welcome these essential workers with open arms. The United States should work towards a NWO where Canada, Mexico and United States share one currency, one Constitution and one border. The United States of North America.
