Aug 21, 2008 - There's nothing wrong w/ pride in YOUR country? I assume that you are a citizen of the U.S. as well. You're right, there are probably many other ways that the situation could have been handled. Bottom line, the store owner BROKE THE LAW. I find it real hard to believe that he didn't notice, or wasn't smart enough to place the U.S. flag on top. He knew exactly what he was doing- he just didn't think most of us would get that mad. I think it was handled well for it brought attention to this issue.

Trijeratop Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - You are truly uneducated. Comments like that don't deserve any reply. Your statement stands as evidence why we should close the borders.

Trijeratop Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Thank you - you do have my respect.

Trijeratop Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - You are a criminal. P.S. Learn how to speak/write!

Trijeratop Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - It's still the United States of America. Please show SOME patriotism! PLEASE!

Aug 21, 2008 - I am a son of legal Immigrants and I love this Country!!............I love everything the girls,education,opportunities, and girls. I do feel that we have a immigration problem that Washington keeps kicking the can down the road.

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - This is ridiculous. Regardless of the fact that the flag was above another 1, he didn't care about the legalities. He was pissed because of the Mexican flag. And i don't see anything wrong with that flag. I think he is a racist and thinks that it represents 'Mexico taking over America'. That is bullshit. Mexicans should be proud of their heritage and fly flags. Just like Irish pubs fly Irish flags and pizzerias(spelling?) fly Italian flags. Racist redneck's oppinions don't matter nowadays.

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - And to the rest of the people who think flying the flag is wrong, just face it, you are racist. What happened to the land of the free and freedom of speech etc? It's nothing more than a catchphrase. A meaningless catchphrase. Btw i don't hate Americans, so before i get some unintelligent person telling me to fuck off and suck dick etc. please save your breath. If anybody has anything smart to say, please feel free. Peace.

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Last comment :) Does anybody agree with me that the person who put the flag up probably put up both flags to please people or to show his/her pride in their heritage and home?? I hope this "patriot" pays the price like a Mexican would for ripping down an American flag.

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - The flag wasn't just above "another one" It was above the flag of THIS country, the one I assume you live in and should be proud of. You call the man Racist because he defends the flag and law of his country. Pizzerias don't fly the Italian flag over the American flag. Italians don't have a number to press on the phone to hear their language nor do Germans, French, Polish, Russians or any other immigrant peoples, only Spanish! Is that Racist?

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - How about the Spanish group La Rasa, That means "The Race" for all my English speaking friends, Is that racist? You speak of red necks (a racist term), so are you a racist? Now let's look at Mexico's main immigration law.Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress." (Article 32)

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Immigration officials must "ensure" that "immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents. (Article 34)

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the equilibrium of the national demographics," when foreigners are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy." (Article 37) Check them all out here canada freepress. com/ 2007/ lillpop022707. htm

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Have you seen this full article? The Mexican man came out and appologised. He didn't realise it was illegal and only put them both up to show he loved both countries. He never recieved an appology though for all the attention and flag ripping he got. And yes im aware it was the American flag, but it was unintentional as i found out, just like i presumed. But this man just HAD to expect the worse.

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - What are the requirements for a greencard? And honestly i don't know about La Rasa, but going by the meaning and i'm preuming they are in America and are a gang, i would say yes. I'm not saying Americans are racist m8 or that they should let all Mexicans in. I'm just saying i don't agree with this man.

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - La Rasa is a political group here in the US they were very active in the Illegal Immigrant marches 2 years ago and they support rights for "Illegal Immigrants" You can look them up on the net. The man defended his flag, if the man in the store didn't know the law that is his problem, Ignorance of the law is not an excuse as any Judge or Lawyer will tell you in court. Tearing down a non American flag does NOT make this man a racist. He didn't say anything to the man toward his race.

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - And I do agree, La Rasa Is a gang. Please take the time to read all the Mexican laws on Immigration too, I couldnt post the web page but if you google Mexican Immigration laws you will find it easy. I do feel the man was a bit agrssive, but he has fought for this country, If you put yourself in his shoes only for a moment, you might see how this was a great insult to him.

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - This is my last comment on this. You did say in affect that Americans are racist, These are YOUR words. "And to the rest of the people who think flying the flag is wrong, just face it, you are racist. What happened to the land of the free and freedom of speech etc?" Freedom of speech does NOT include breaking the law!Standing up for the laws of this country does not make me or anyone that does a racist,it seems that word must be in the immigrant handbook, if you dont get your way,cry RACIST!

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Well i didn't say all Americans are racist. And yeah i was wrong to say they're ALL racist (people who think flying the flag is wrong) but come on, if you think this isn't racially motivated by most people then you are very wrong. Most people are pissed off that its a Mexican flag because they see it as a Mexican invasion. And wow he broke the law, but didn't he appologise and say how he just meant good from it? That man is the victim imo. I don't think the man that was pulling down the flag

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - gave a shit about the law because he just broke another 1. Why couln't he have politely asked the man to take it down or inform him of the law? No he had to make his retarded message. And no redneck is not racist. Btw correct me if im wrong (cause honestly im not to clear on American history from this time) but didn't America invade mexico and take cali, arizona, nm, texas etc.? If im correct its a forgotten time in history agreed? Jesus give the mexican a break, people make mistakes.

fionnoc Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Just incase people don't see what i said below, why couldn't the man just ask the Mexican to take it down? Why couldn't he have called the police if he cared that much instead of breaking another law? Excuses, excuses....

goincampin Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - These are not my words, this was a post in the Canadian free press, This is one of the laws in Mexico, My post was cut short, I was trying to show how Mexico veiws immigrants in their country. I have NO problem with "LEGAL" immigration!
