Mexican Flag Is Defining Symbol Of LA Riots

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?
