How about engrave on the other side the words "It was better before we set them free".

Then see what those leftist hypocrites say. Bigotry is ok but only for them.

Ironically, Judy Baca, the artist who made the monument, says the protesters have the meaning of the inscription backward.
The words are supposed to memorialize the jeers aimed at Mexican immigrants who began moving into Baldwin Park after World War II, she said.
Baca said the monument, "Danza Indigenas," was designed to honor Native Americans, immigrants and others who helped build Baldwin Park. Other inscriptions on the arch include: "This land was Mexican once, was Indian always and is, and will be again."

Yeah, I'm sure it was all some misunderstanding. < /sarc >

"it was better before they came"

Whoever the "they" is it's offensive, but as long as it's up I will assume the "they" is referring to Liberals, Homosexuals, Mexicans, and fruit flies.

"it was better before they came"

That would make a great "Artistic" bumper sticker.

I took the picture of the monument, and cropped the photo down to just the very artistic "It was better before they came". I am going to print it off as a bumper sticker.
