197. Yes, an opposition to a law to be debated and enacted by
an American legislative body that will touch on lives of millions currently living within the U.S. border - whether legally or illegally.

A law debated by a sovereign country, and waving flags of foreign countries is not the way to influence the passage of a law.

Why don't you understand the bizarre meaning of waving a foreign flag in an attempt to influence an American law dealing with immigration into the U.S.?

And, yes, this will be true if the flags were Irish, or Italian or Japanese.

Because the question is: are we living in the sovereign country of the U.S.A, or are we subjects of Mexico? Whose laws are we debating here? The American ones or the Mexican? Can you imagine France debating a law granting citizenship to third generation of immigrants (this was one cause of the riots last fall) and the demonstrators waving not French flags, but those of Turkey, of Morocco, even of Germany?

And, then, of course, there are the bizarre comments about this land belonging to the people from Mexico and this is their way to show us who is the boss.

In this case I keep asking whether we should, then, move the border north of CA, AZ, NM and TX but then I am being called a racist. So that is.
