Why is the Mexican national flag waving at the immigration assembly?

The sun was shining. On Saturday morning, the sky was blue, because I had breakfast with a friend in the wife's restaurant in the center of San Anna.

We are talking about the Philadelphia Eagle team, who runs like a pop -up, Saquon Barkley, who runs like a pop -up, bouncing in the defense of Chief of Kansas. At that time, the weak shout made us look outside.

Street missionaries, lively fashionable people, and people who blew Corridos and Oldies are part of the community soundtrack, so we return to chat. However, the distant voice became louder until it sounded like a roar.

“Is that protest?” I wanted to know when I chose my Chilaquiles.

“Yes,” my friend said, before cracking “may be about ice”-immigration and customs law enforcement.

He is right.

We walked outside and saw the fourth street suddenly swarmed with young people. They shouted “If possibleIntersection “and”Manchester United will never be defeatedIntersection “(People will never be split.) Some signs of rotating wooden noise manufacturers or holdings say” Stopping the Family “and” Relaxing Greenngo, I am legal “. Cheer up for them.

What I see on Saturday is part of the country's action on President Trump, as well as a plan to hit illegal immigrants, seriously restrict legal immigrants and end the identity of citizenship of birth rights. The protesters gathered in the Dallas City Hall and traditionally immigrants in the Atlanta region to march along the East Saint Jose and the Braord Highway. In Los Angeles, people demonstrated on Pacoima and took over the highway No. 101 of the city, creating a few hours of traffic congestion.

I recorded two short videos about San Anna, uploaded them to social media, and then returned to my Qiraquilis. A few minutes later, I checked the comments about the post. Most of them are positive, but some people angrily point out what I have not considered:

Mexican flag.

this Three -color It is part of the San Anna landscape, so it is easy to attract my attention. In addition, people waved it with the flags of other Latin American countries, and in each immigration right protests I saw over the past 30 years.

In the rally this weekend, whether in Seattle, Arkansas, San Louis or Florida, the American flag is a minority. On Monday, Tricolor was proudly flying again in the center of Los Angeles and the entire United States.

In the next few weeks (even if it is not a few months or even a few years), you will see more Mexican flags in the protests of Trump and his immigration Goon team. The back retreat you will hear is the following issues, not only the opponents of illegal immigrants, but also multiple pro -immigrant activists.

Why does it wield another country instead of the flag of the United States? How will this win the well -known heart of the opponent of the White House and Congress Mountain? When he laughed at Trump and his supporters, wasn't this ridiculous when he promised that he would not see the suppression of the country for decades? Can you find a bigger goal? remote Blue, white and green, or the blue and white flag color scheme in Central American countries?

Since the beginning of the 1990s, these questions have divided the immigration right movement into the immigration right movement. At that time, the measures of revenge were drowned the local and state governments in the southwest of the United States. The mainstream groups conflicted with student activists, that is, how the best battle was.

The gentlemen have been worried that the flags of Latin people waving Mexico, Salvador, Venezuela and other ancestors are political suicide-it involves part of the American psychology, I believe that Latin Americans will never absorb and be Sleeper's agents, They are the agents of Sleeper, which aims to overthrow the country in this country to overthrow the country to overthrow the country to overthrow the country to overthrow the country. Essence They are particularly worried about the Mexican flag, which is radioactive-this is the banner of the southern neighbor we fought with us with us, not formal rather than 175 years.

One of those suspects was once your truth.

In 1994, I saw part of the local news, including a student of the elderly black gentleman and Fulleton. They protested the No. 187 proposal. Main life.

The man supported students, but asked them to let go of the Mexican flag and waved Americans. On the contrary, they shouted to him. He panickedly told reporters that he initially opposed the proposal No. 187, but now he plans to support this measure (it passed by 59 %, but was eventually ruled to be unconstitutional).

The encounter has always been with me. It seems that the immigration rights that have not been in the country with defense without documents without documents are violating intuition. However, when the people who wrap themselves in the US flag screamed with your loved ones to make them stand out from the “their” country, I understand why people will reflect on hugging a symbol against this kind of jingoism and in them In the context, express pride.

At that time, I thought that immigration rights protesters should wave the US flag-not only because they lived here and fought for immigrants so that they could stay here. The left should bring the stars and stripes back from the right side. It wields it like Cudgel, or put it on it like the Gauche Fashion Declaration Pete Hegseth.

However, my thoughts have developed in the demonstration of pro -immigrants. Now, whenever I see people waving a foreign flag at the rally, I smile.

Those who defend the banner always think that this is a way ordinary people express anger and passion when inserting sports According to their terms. The flag shaking is bold, this is a good team offensive demand. The battle of public opinion may be lost in the short term. This logic is like this, but these people will push immigration debate to a better place.

Those children who won the black gentleman in Fullerton? Their exercise fundamentally changed the next generation of California politics and turned the state blue into blue. In 2006, whether Congress reviewed the version of steroiding proposition 187? Is this a high school student who went out in 2006? They carried out meditation and protests until the legislators passed the tuition of the state through no documents.

This violent advocacy has prompted the Obama administration to formulate postponed operations for the arrival of childhood in 2012. Even Trump also sympathized with the so -called dreamers, and their parents illegally brought them into the country when their children were young. Although citizenship still avoids them, many people continue their political advocates through participation in local and parliamentary campaigns, and help candidates win.

What did the US flag complete at the US immigration rights rally? Of course, a great photo action, but the hard hearts of Republican lawmakers have not melted over the years. In addition, if Trump has the opportunity, Trump will expel the “Star Banner” before the old glory.

Wave the foreign flag in the protests is a good trouble-this is a brave assembly and the sign standing with the general commander. He only understands confusion.

On Monday, the protests spread again in the center of San Anna, starting from the Ronald Reagan Park on my wife's restaurant street, and then scattered in the evening. Cars drove with passengers and drove on Mexicans, Salvador and Guatemala. Once again, everyone is very loud and proud.

Tastin's resident, Juan Galvez, several districts, wearing the Mexican flag like a cloak. It hangs above his ankle. When he returned to his car, I grabbed him. This is the first time that a 20 -year -old boy has protested anything. He and his parents are American citizens, but he has a relative friend.

I asked why he was not wrapped in the US flag.

“Trump attacked us because we are Mexicans,” Galves replied. “He thinks we are garbage. I am not garbage. And I am not afraid.”
