Many of the violent illegals being picked up are not Mexicans, but, I guess it’s a little harder to find flags of their home countries
CNN: ‘Mexican Flag Has Become a Defining Symbol’ of Los Angeles Riots
CNN, the left-leaning media conglomerate, has declared that the Mexican flag is “a defining symbol” of riots across Los Angeles, California, over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents enforcing federal immigration laws.
Days worth of photos and footage from the riots have depicted rioters burning cars, assaulting police, and throwing bricks at vehicles, all while waving the Mexican flag.
CNN, in a piece titled “The Mexican flag has become a defining symbol of the LA protests,” is boasting that rioters are using the foreign flag to “express solidarity with immigrants and denounce the Trump administration’s raids…”
But the waving of foreign flags speaks to the generations of people from Mexico and other Latin American countries who have called the US, and particularly California, home, Hinojosa-Ojeda, the UCLA professor, said. [Emphasis added]
“The flags mean their families. The flags mean their communities. It’s not about having an international invasion,” he added. [Emphasis added]
It’s one thing if they are actually citizens and celebrating their heritage on Cinco De Mayo, much like Irish flags are flown on St. Patrick’s day. But, they are being flown in support of illegal actions, much in the same way people flew Palestinian flags, in support of terrorists.
Mexican flags have become so prominent at the riots that organizers are now reportedly handing out American flags following intense criticism.
Vice President JD Vance has called the rioters “insurrectionists” and said the riot is even further proof why Republicans ought to pass President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which includes a remittance tax on money transfers from immigrants sending funds to their native countries.
“Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vance wrote on X. “Time to pass President Trump’s beautiful bill and further secure the border.”
If the illegal alien Mexicans want to be Americans they should be flying US flags to start with. For the American liberals, well, they hate the US flag, and, I hope the Mexicans and other illegals realize they are just being used.
And here’s the NY Times dropping some seizing!
Mexican Flags Have Become Republican Fodder, but Protesters Keep Waving Them
As images of protests in Southern California have flooded television and social media in recent days, a key question has emerged: Why are so many protesters carrying Mexican flags at an American political protest?
The sea of red, white and green Mexican flags at anti-deportation protests this week in Los Angeles has been seized upon by conservatives who argue that the demonstrations are inherently un-American, causing some protesters to consider leaving them at home.
Photos of masked provocateurs waving Mexican flags atop burning Waymo taxis spread instantly across conservative social media this weekend. Republicans pointed to them as a prime example of why President Trump called in the National Guard and how immigration had gone too far in California.
Oh, NY Times, never change
But protesters said this week that they see the Mexican flag as a symbol of defiance against Mr. Trump’s immigration policies or of solidarity with other Mexican Americans. The flag has become so ubiquitous in recent decades that it is a part of the Southern California landscape, adorning pickup trucks and flapping from bridges. Few mass gatherings occur in the region without a Mexican flag or two, from weekend soccer matches to Los Angeles Dodgers championship parades.
You mean as a symbol against the laws of the United States?
Poor babies!! Mexican flags!!
Fewer Mexican flags at an CA anti-fascist rally than Confederate flags at a FL trump rally! LOL.
Mr trump has no plan to repair U.S. immigration. Congress is afraid to act.
What to do? Deport 11 to 21 million “illegals”? Not going to happen. It’s all performative. trump only needs to keep his followers aroused for a few years.
90% of Americans understand that most undocumented immigrants are peaceful, hard-working and essentially American. Masked ICE agents attacking a meat processing plant, arresting workers (while letting the CEO off), and deporting the mother or father, leaving behind citizen children or spouses, is unAmerican. Our pansy-ass Congress needs to “nut up” and do their jobs. Solving immigration will require more than deporting 1%.
[…] Wiliam Teach, “Mexican Flag Is Defining Symbol Of LA Riots“ […]
Old story. The Democratic party decided that was a bad look so they started passing out American flags yesterday. There is no doubt that the riots against law enforcement in LA are sponsored and controlled by the democratic party. Not immigrants or Mexicans. Just the same rent-a-mob brown shirts the democrats always use.
Evidence for those charges?
On the other hand, the MAGAts have admitted that ICE, the Army and Marines are now ownned by the MAGA Party.
You keep telling us how Trump thinks, what we think, what Trump believes, what we believe, and all kinds of other BS that you make up in your crazy mind.
Since he has no friends he has to make enemies spouting nonsense. It’s the only way he has to get attention. Laugh along with the rest of us.
Mr Professor claimed the protestors were all hired. We asked for evidence.
Several million Americans will be protesting on Saturday. All paid protestors?
Ironic isn’t it that MAGAts blamed the Jan 6 insurrection on planted Democratic operatives, who were then prosecuted by the Democratic Deep State, then lazily pardoned by the Big MAGAt himself!
The Lesson: MAGAts cannot tell the truth. They craft their tales to support their Sovereign.
Ironic isn’t it even after the small contained right January for six years just that brain damaged America haters still refer to it as an insurrection goodnight. They got away with it because their people were in power so they drag it out over such a long period of time that it becomes worthless. So what are they gonna do now first start another one. Democrats have been starting revolutions against America since April 12th 1861. You’ve been trying to destroy our nation almost since its founding you started a civil war over it camera where did one good republican president and tried to murder a second just last year. When you can’t give a rational argument you just start calling us names, and dehumanize us as much as possible. We love to watch the atrocities you purge against your own people who leave the Democrats. Look what you’ve already done to Elon Musk. You people are detestable.
If the kerfuffle in LA is an “insurrection”, at least according to trump, than certainly attemping to overthrow the government on Jan 6, qualifies!!
