Believe me, whoever "orchestrated" this stuff was no friend of the illegals! I saw several very "liberal" folks turn pretty "grumpy" when this stuff showed up in our local TV news. I remember saying to my wife at the time, "who thinks this stuff up? The Ku Klux Klan? What do these people THINK is going to happen when their pictures appear on the news like this?...DUH !!"

Someone must have gotten "wise", because now a lot of illegal rallies are just as "rowdy", but feature a sea of American flags. Probably as a "diversionary tactic"...
If you take a good look at these rallies you will see many of the illegals 'wearing' the US flag as some sort of cape. According to US Flag Code, you are not supposed to use the flag as a piece of clothing. Maybe their handlers encourage them to do this. Once again, why are we putting up with this crap? Whatever job it is they are doing, it can be done just as well by someone else from another part of the world. Who probably wouldn't fly their flag on government property (US Post Office).

The flag should never be used as clothing, bedding, or drapery. Red, white, and blue bunting may be used as decoration instead, with the blue on top, white in the middle, and red below.

That's right - the flag is not to be worn as clothing. During the protests by American young people during the anti-Vietnam marches, people were arrested for doing that.

But, now, we let illegals do it! Go figure.

The "ACLU" has pretty much taken the place of the "KKK", at least on the side of the Illegals. and on a more legals stance.

KELE,
A quick rsponse to your PM.
Yes most everyone(concerned) out west had their eyes glued to the Maywood protest. But further East, knowlege of what was going on out west was close to 0, at least in some states.
That's about the time that I joined this forum. I was passing information about on to other forums.
There's one video that really woke up alot of people to the reality of illegal immigration.
In fact, there's a video that I posted on the "immigration" thread of this forum and received negative comments from the moderator. Other forums,like in Michigan and Wisconsin, I received comments of disbelief. Some may remember it, it wasWeHateGringos - WeHateGringos.com
This link alone brought reality to thousands+++++ of people.

These are comments on KELE's story from the Illegal Immigration ALIPAC forum.

Yes, that flash video pretty much sums up what I saw on the Internet until many of those pictures were removed. It's not politically correct in this country to see things as they are and the mainstream media never shows that stuff.

Not only should the Flag not be worn as a cape - it shouldn't be stomped upon.

What about tracksuits made with the U.S flag all around?

I am not positive about the law, but I believe you can wear a piece of clothing with a flag design printed on it, or made from flag design cloth but you cannot take an actual flag itself and wear it as a cape, tie it round your head or whatever.

I'm talking about the track suits like the people from the olympics. They have like a huge flag all around in a track suit form. And I also think this is illegal as well:

I'll look up the actual law later. I think it has to be a real flag with grommets along the side for raising on a flagpole. Cloth that has a flag design on it is OK.
