"For God's sake, New Mexico was part of Mexico at one time," he said. "There's tremendous ties, and we have a large population of Hispanics that live in our state and many of them have relatives and connections to Mexico."So? Let them fly a flag there then. This is the USA.

IMHO, no other country’s flag should fly in this country, except at the UN or that country’s embassy.

Actually, Vatican City is. This guy should've lowered the Mexican flag, attached the Star & Stripes over it, and hoisted both. Then, the ball would've been back in the court of this Hispanic group. And if they chose to act, we'd be discussing their patriotism instead of trying to justify his.

I don’t know anything else about this kid, but it’s wrong to fly a foreign flag on American soil without the American flag around, on a higher pole.
I don’t feel what he did is a big deal.
To: 1rudeboy
The Vatican is attempting to win souls for Christ, the Mexicans are invading to take our country over and harvest all the freebies they can. Big difference.
I do like your thoughts on placing a flag above the Mexican flag - but it should the the U.S. flag not a state flag.

IMHO, no other countrys flag should fly in this country, except at the UN or that countrys embassy. A lot of Good Ole' Boys down in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia would disagree with you.

Right on, Marcus!I remember demonstrating in Gainsville, Fla. when the city flew the UN flag out front, with no American flag in site.
The cops were all over us, protecting the UN flag.
Fortunately, we were no arrested for bearing the Confederate colours.
["no arrested" is Scottish for 'not arrested.']

Fly a Mexican flag upside -down at your own house.

There was a guy down the street from my parent’s cottage (in Michigan) who always flew the Stars & Bars. I asked him once, “it’s 4th of July, can’t you fly the American flag?” He replied, “no.” We had a good laugh about it.

If we are going to start banning other nation’s flags or battle flags in the United States the Stars & Bars will also have to be banned.
To: squarebarb
I wont try that around here.

"This sort of incident hurts everyone," Torres said. "It's something that you don't expect to see at a place like the University of New Mexico where we celebrate diversity."
Providing that the celebration of said diversity is in your favor.

Actually, all national flags should be flown at the same height, no matter the soil.
