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.

Sad but true.

They're just celebrating the illegal drivers' licence bill. The enemy is here.

They probably have a flag patch on their arms for Atzlan

upside down US flags is considered a signal of being in distress.

It means America under distress. They might not know though and only showing disrespect.

Rack it up to jealousy. Send the lettuce pickers home where they belong.

Too bad someone doesn't incinerate the machines with molotov cocktails like the EarthFirst! terrorists did to those SUV's at California car dealerships.

That's odd. I'd expect crap like that in urban areas like L.A.. Instead, I see cars around here with a "Michoacan" or "Jalisco" bumper sticker on one side of the bumper and a 9-11 sticker on the other. Go figure.
