“First, let’s deal with this business of the flags.
It’s amazing. Congress is embroiled in the most meaningful debate since President Reagan signed an amnesty law in 1986 - and the new dialogue touches on guest workers, border fences, another round of amnesty and more. Yet the one thing many Americans want to talk about are those darned Mexican flags.
As a Mexican American, on this issue I come down on the American side. I think student demonstrators made a huge mistake by hoisting Mexican flags, and that - as a rule - people who demand rights from one country shouldn’t wave the flag of another. It’s bad manners - and even worse civics.”
