Question

Mexican flag flies at Maywood, Calif., post office (courtesy: Terry Anderson show)
Backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.

Police officers in Maywood, Calif., Saturday eventually came to the pole to remove the flag but had bottles and rocks thrown at them, a radio listener named Sandra reported to the Terry Anderson show, heard on KRLA in Los Angeles.

A video can be viewed here and photographs can be seen here on the website of Save our State, a border security group there along with the Minutemen to protest Maywood declaring itself a "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens.

The radio listener, volunteering for Save our State, said that when she arrived at the rally she was rushed by counter-protesters who called out, "Death to the Minutemen."

"They pushed me around and told me if I was to take one step further, they would beat the s*** out of me," Sandra said. "I looked to the back of me and there were about four police officers leaning on their vehicle just watching, doing nothing!"

As she stepped forward, Sandra said, the counter-protesters stole her sign and ripped it up as another threw water on her.

A police officer eventually escorted her to her group.

The opposition, she said, began to get louder, and then "we watched as they took the American flag off of the flag pole and stepped on it on the ground at the United States post office and mounted a Mexican flag, and up it went."

At this point , she said, "the police did nothing."

"Finally, they went over to take it down, and they had bottles and rocks thrown at them," she said. "They did not attempt to arrest anyone. They were unable to take it down because they cut the wrong line so the flag remained there for the rest of the day."

Sandra said another woman was beaten as police watched, as well as an elderly man, noting the counter-protesters "tend to pick on the weaker targets."

"I believe that all Americans need to know about this and need to see that Mexican flag hanging at an American post office," she wrote to Anderson. "We are being invaded and the American people need to wake up!"

Blogger Bridget Johnson, who also was at the event, said that along with Maywood's flouting of immigration law, as a "sanctuary city," it has disbanded its police department's traffic unit so illegals without driver's licenses won't be fearful of getting their cars towed.

Referring to the supporters of open borders, she called it an "afternoon chock full of racism, "reconquista" and riot cops, which included a sign claiming North American is a "stolen continent."

Johnson said that "after the local post office took down the American flag at closing time, pro-immigration demonstrators promptly ran the Mexican flag up the flagpole. Eventually, police officers surrounded the flagpole and tried to get the Mexican flag down, but the cords got twisted and they could only lower it to half-staff."

In March, a high school in Southern California punished a student for involvement in a protest in which a Mexican flag was flown above an upside-down U.S. flag.

The incident took place at Montebello High School in Montebello, Calif., when students walked out of classes at area schools in protest of a proposed federal immigration bill.

In April, a Tucson, Ariz., man was arrested after he burned a Mexican flag while demonstrating against the flow of illegal aliens into the United States over the southern border.

Thousands of supporters of illegal aliens gathered in April to protest events in over 60 cities nationwide, but most left home the Mexican flag, because of the controversy it had stirred in previous events.

In what was being called a "campaign for immigrants' dignity," demonstrators instead carried the U.S. flag, a noticeable change from previous rallies in opposition to immigration-reform legislation pending in Congress.

Answer 1

Please do not get me started on this. I am angry as all hell about it.

Answer 2

I didn't read it until now, and I think is really wrong. Like I said before I am from Mexico, a resident alien, and I don't think they did the right thing. If they want respect for our flag, then they should respect the flag of the U.S. I went to the rallies, and a lot of people didn't even know what were they doing, I think they had the Mexican Flag all over and I don't think is right, if they want to get a chance to stay here, first they have to learn to respect The United States and your flag. They have to be grateful that they got a chance to come here, to live with freedom, and without government corruption.

Answer 3

I read this article and posted it a couple of days ago.but not near as complete as you have.thank you , I for one am fully aware of their activities as well as the groups calling for the over throw of the southwest by any means and renaming the area Aztlan.I am disgusted and ready to join any group that will not allow this type of illegal anti American values demonstrating.it seems to me that advocating the take over of the south west amounts to treasonist anti American activities and should be punished as such.
Its got to be stopped dead in its tracks,I as an American live in this country, as did my ancestors since the 1700s and it will not become another Mexico.We need to seal the borders and stop the illegal immigration and their American supports.That's treason.

Answer 4

Dumb illegal immigrants. I hate them. why don't they just come here legally. If you want the mexican flag up so bad go back to mexico and stay there. Leave us in peace. We don't want you.
