Waving Mexican flag gave the wrong message (Liberal AZ Star Knows Como Se Dice' 'BACKFIRED')

I'd bet there's a fair number that haven't seen it. I usually get all the emails that are circulating, and I don't think that one has made the rounds via email yet.

It's making the rounds at forums and blogs, so I'd expect emails to be next.

So the newspaper wants its buddies, the invaders, to keep their cool so we don't see through their tactics. You could just hear the pleading tone. "Come on, folks, that's not the way to fool them!"

I've heard that there are emails circulating telling Spanish language media to urge protest participants on April 10 not to use Mexican flags, and I've tried to do a little recon to get my hands on such an email, but I haven't been able to get my hands on one.

In many ways, I'd almost rather they not carry American flags if they're doing it just as a sham.

These illegals are immigration cheats and are just as bad as a tax cheat.

I love legal immigrants, and I even dated a LEGAL immigrant from El Salvador briefly who is a hard worker and doesn't rely upon welfare to get by. My ex-girlfriend spend years getting green card and doing everything by the book. What they want to do with these immigration cheats is like jumping ahead of the line, and it is an insult to the millions of LEGAL immigrants who come here every year.

Most of my friends when I was living in the Washington, D.C. area were Christian immigrants from the Middle East who came here legally.

Maybe I should see what happens if I try immigrating illegally to Mexico. That is, if they are as generous.

Correct! They and the media are also getting away with using images of Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King as if either would have supported such illegality.

Chavez actually was a third generation American from Yuma AZ who marched against 'wetbacks' (his word) and could have never developed the UFW with the dilutive effect of unlimited, illegal immigration. He really understood the need to integrate Mexican Americans fully into the society with language and education.

What baffles me, is how the Service Workers Union which is a major demonstration organizer/backer can expect to organize illegals. Will illegals pay union dues but not pay income taxes?

[hispanarepublicana]

That's great. It couldn't have come out of an MSM paper?

Yes, I am guilty of that too. But I can be nice as well when for instance when I translated a Thai's English into my high school French. ;)

I get annoyed when people pull their ethnic names and make a big deal of it. Two people pulled that on me. After they introduce themselves to everyone and then give us all a language class they turn and ask me my name. Although I am "white" American I do have a very ethnic name (very Dutch) and boy do I milk it. I then put them through the same nonsense they put all my colleagues through. After about 3-5 minutes of teaching them the finer points of Dutch pronunciation, I ask them if they would prefer calling me Angie. ;) They get the message.

I knew someone who was here from Ireland on a student visa. They had a job with a local company and he worked as a supervisor. He grew tired of some of the employees chatting with one another in Spanish on the walkie-talkies, so he started giving their orders to them in Gaelic. After a day of that, the other guys used English...

Maybe they're waving the Mex flag, because they intend to make the Southwest Mexican? Maybe, their goal is what they say their goal is? Maybe, they have no desire to assimilate, but to conquer?
