From the Front of the Smudge report about the Trump protest

1. Love it!

That really made me laugh.

2. Isn't that awful damn stupid if the Mexican immigrants want

to be accepted in this country?

[justiceischeap]

3. Did you really just try and police how immigrants protest? nt

[doc03]

4. They can do what they want but it seems counter productive to me

the right is always talking about them not learning English, they want to stay in this country but wave the Mexican flag.
That just turns more people against them IMO.

5. Did you notice that the sign is in English?

Not to mention the Italian flags we see on Columbus day, Irish flags on St. Paddy's Day . . .

Most of us are [ pick your ethnicity]-American. Why shouldn't they wave a Mexican flag? You assume they are illegal immigrants who want to stay here, but you don't know that they aren't Americans of Mexican heritage (some of whose families go back hundreds of years in what is now the U.S.), Americans born of Mexican immigrant parents, or, indeed, immigrants legal or not who seek a way to live here freely.

The sign makes a great point, that Mexicans are hardly "aliens" here.

6. Still looks counter productive to me, that won't gain them any

support and probably will turn more people off. A large percentage of Americans think this country is Mexican enough already.
If you want to be accepted in the USA carry a US flag. That is the argument that the right makes they won't learn English and
assimilate into our society like other immigrants have.
