What ever your background, race, roots or other thing you take pride in… While in America realize we are Americans and we are proud of it. Say what you want to say but we will say what we want as well and are not afraid to defend her. Some think loud mouthed immigrants with anti American speech is a new phenom. We used to make it a national pride when one of our own defended her honor. Now we are told to “shut up you racist pigs. Don’t you believe in free speech?” Yea I believe you are free to speak while I bust you a new one. We need more Rick Mondays.

May I make a suggestion, atlthrasher? Copy your Permanent Resident Card and keep copies in more than one location. We do this on most important documents and even those important responses we give by mail.

My spouse travels some and carries copies of her passport and other stuff in more that one location while traveling. Side note: I am boycotting airlines poor treatment of their customer passengers so refuse to fly.

Even as a natural born citizen I too have no problem with showing documentation.

They're "making a big song and dance in Arizona" and everywhere to ward off any US authority right to question them on their illegal citizen status so they can continue to do it. Both sides of the issue have valid points but I lean towards stronger measures to stop illegals from entering and staying. In some countries those invading would be shot at the fence. American soldiers once shot North Koreans swimming to South Korea and it wasn't even logged. We should be able to shoot people breaking into our country. If they want to come in then knock on the door and ask.

I have a Permanent Resident Card. I carry it around with me all the time. My only fear is if I get mugged, my identity gets stolen too. Then again, they would take my Drivers license as well but the cost of replacing my PR card is so much more than my DL. That being said, I really have no problem with carrying my card. I am legal and if asked by whomever, I will show them. I don't understand why they're making a big song and dance in Arizona that people have to show their ID upon request. They should make it mandatory nationwide. Show some form of government ID.

Excuse me Voter, but I have a life, thank you. I just need people from other countries not to conflict with it, which includes you. I also need criminals who break our laws to be locked up, so I can honestly tell my children that our system of justice is fair and impartial, and not corrupt. I wonder if you sympathize with other criminals as well? How about the guy who breaks into someones house and steals stuff to sell, just because he was broke and his baby needed milk and diapers? Oh no, that would be considered burglary! A crime punishable by up to 15 years hard labor. Same thing if you ask me.

JPT you need to get a life that does not involve people from other counties.

When I came to this country legally (a hundred years ago) I was required to produce my green card upon request. I was also required to register with the INS every January, which I never did because it was so lax that they had no proof that I did not. It did not hurt my chance to become a citizen when I decided to do that.

Voter-You are an idiot! How in the world did you ever come to the conclusion, that I did not have a job, simply based from my comment about Mexican flag waving? Unlike a lot of unfortunate people that had their jobs stolen, I actually happen to be working, you fool.

Maybe you just need to head back down to Mexico with the rest of the bandito's, crooks, and theives, and go wave your Mexican flag down there!

If you are not going to wave the American flag in this country, then go back to wherever you came from! And I don't care where that is! The rest can go to jail as far as I am concerned!

I happen to only hate lawbreaking criminals who get special favortism, which I have to help pay for.

How is this a display against racism? Those that claim all of the anti-immigration people are racists will claim it has nothing to do with nationalism and everything to do with skin color.

Since this isn't a protest against patriotism or nationalism, and only about white people, those evil locusts, and their desire to rid the world of those with darker skin, why the Mexican flag?

Since anti-immigration people don't really care about nationalities, and would LOVE to have illegal immigrants flood the country as long as they are lily white and speak English, and this has NOTHING to do with hispanics coming into our country illegally and then telling those who are here legally that we need to shut up and change our country to suit their needs and demands, why the Mexican flag?

OH, they're protesting the Arizona Law. The law that, according to that racist news organization CNN, says "Arizona's law orders immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them." Even though the law forbids racial profiling, opponents are worried police might just do it any way.

So if a hispanic appearing male is wandering the streets carrying a Mexican Flag and proclaiming his allegiance to Mexico, would that be reasonable suspicion to wonder if maybe, just maybe he is in the country legally? And if so, would a 2 minute "hey man, are you here legally? Yep, here's my license, papers, etc" REALLY be that big of a deal? The ONLY people this law hurts are illegal immigrants.

If you don't want to be treated like a criminal, don't break the law.

JPT - If you were to put as much effort in to finding a job as you do about whining about Mexicans you would have one.

Your biggest problem is that all that hatred will make you so bitter that you will become unemployable.

Looks like the Mexicans have finally taken over, waving their flags around like troops in captured territory. They didn't even have to fire that many shots, besides the killing of a few border patrol agents and couple of ranchers. It was like a silent invasion, even stealth-like there for awhile. Remember the Alamo!

Patriotism-the WASP American's inability to put themselves in other people's shoes

The article says, "The men were apprehended by security fairly quickly without much incident" but that photo suggests otherwise. Lol.

And Hoyt, there's nothing in this story that says or even suggests that they are illegals. If you were a dark-skinned, American-born resident, you'd be concerned about your civil liberties too.

This isn't about protecting those without rights...just the opposite, actually.

This is what you expect of illeagls, break laws.
