Reno Vet cuts down Mexican Flag

[crazyjoe]

Does that happen often?


I agree with the man cutting down the flag's sentiments but I am also a huge proponent of property rights. To a Military man, flying one flag below another subjugates what that flag represents. He should have voiced his opinions to the owner of the bar or joined a picket outside the bar. If everyone picketing outside was wearing a uniform similar to Border patrol, the bar would have to close due to lack of business.

If the law is not enforced we are going to see a rise in vigilante justice across border states. We can no longer turn a blind eye to those who wish to break our laws to get here. You want to live here, work here, or get an education here, get a visa.

That damn bird staring at me is annoying!

i think we as Americans shoudl refuse to pay taxes as well. Maybe send our money back to Europe or Asia or Africa

this would be a great protest. And it will HURT the Government right where it hurts. Right in the pocketbook.

Healthcare is a problem for us citizens. But it isn't for Guadalupe and her 7 kids. Everything is paid for by the state.

Oh, and if you're ever unfortunate enough to get hospitalized w/o insurance. Don't be freakin' stupid and volunteer your SSN. Claim you're an illegal from England. Your entire ER stay will be paid-off and you can walk out with a $0 bill.

If others can abuse the system - so can u. But at least it'll be YOUR money you're abusing. When a mexican jumps the border - the first thing they do is pop out a kid, than run to get welfare, medicare, food stamps, social services, education, you name it. They talk in those communities. Trust me, they know how to work the system.

Oh and it's not their fault. It's OUR fault by electing douchebag politicians that waste your taxes on foreigners.

A huge increase in the lower class never benefits a country. I really hope the dollar tanks cuz no one in America has any freakin' skills or intellectual talent anymore. A whole nation of worthless general laborers.

I'm an American. There's no reason i should learn spanish, japanese, italian or hindu to communicate with other people on my street. You don't see Canadians learning Cantonese or English learning Hindi.

^^^ Thoughtful response, I can see why you're the main mod.
As the son of a immigrant who followed the legal process, AND fully assimilated into the American melting pot, I have little sympathy for those who jump in line ahead of more deserving immigrants who perhaps have more to offer our society while taking less of our resources.
Regarless of immigration status, those who would fly the Mexican flag (or any other) above the U.S. flag have little intrest in assimilating into our culture. They seek to take what they can, while they can, for as long as they can. Yes many are simply seeking a better life for themselves, but it's at the expense of those of us that have embraced what it is to be an American.

I'm late to the thread. I agree BRR has made a few very thoughtful and intelligent posts but bottomline is illegal is illegal. I'm grandson of immigrants who did it legally. They learned english and assimilated into american culture. I vote no amnesty, major penalties for employers who hire illegals, and no goverment benefits for illegals. IF they want to come here then get in line with all the others waiting legally. This goes for Mexicans, Russians, Indians, Irish, Chinese and any one else. We don't have to round 'em up to get 'em out... just cut off the jobs and goverment benefits. They'll leave.

For the record... they are in the Hamptons.
I used to work for a travelling construction company and we worked for a month in the Hamptons, right in Peter Jennings backyard... and they were there, right down at the 7-11, probley 50 of them just like every major city in the country, just hangin out hoping to get work...

Dude what is your name?

You know what bro... Let the immigrants take their time learning English, and let the American's that want to, learn a little Spanish...
Seriously! what is the fucking harm in having people around to practice a new language with?

If you are white... Go learn and say something in NICE in Spanish to a Spanish speaking person on the street, even if you sounded like a fool, you would be greeted with a smile. Spanish people (specially girls) love Gringos who at least try to speak their language. Look at it this way, If you learn to speak Spanish AND you are a native to English... You can trek the whole globe and you'll never be lost in translation... You'll either find a local that will have learned English or a Mexican dude working his ass-off who will understand your Spanish. And you know the Mexican dude will help you around and get you the good shit for a few bucks, cause they roll like that...
Embrace people. We are all good at heart!

Well said BRR.

Half of my neighborhood is comprised of friendly, hard-working mexican families. Some of the nicest people I have ever gotten to know. You should have seen the looks on their faces and ensuing smiles when I first spoke spanish to them. They cook me food all the time, share anything they can with me. I think I gave them more out of my gardens than I ate this year.

Gives me a chance to learn more spanish and I have some good friends now too. It is true about latinas too, if you try to speak to them in spanish...
