To answer your question, I did not write it. I received this by email.

I don’t want to battle between political views. So, I will put my views aside & say that in terms of “flag etiquette”, it is disrespectful. The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.

If anyone wishes to read further, that’s fine. I address the situation below from my views.

I’m not sure what your political stance is, & you don’t know mine. Which is just fine as I feel that has little or nothing to do with these images & how it has made me feel indignant as an American. Since I’m already on the subject… this disregard for American self-government is reprehensible. I am not one to oppose change. This however, was not only distasteful but disrespectful to American sovereignty.

I mean consider ILLEGAL immigrants using our countries welfare programs paid for by us Americans (its law abiding tax payers), then not only being outraged when the federal government decides to take action against these law breakers but then to go so far as to demand the rights and privileges of our country. That sickens me!

If immigrants want to come here legally and become an American and assimilate themselves then I feel they should be treated on an exact equality. And not be discriminated against. This is not the case though. These people obviously want to keep segregated with their own origin and separate themselves from America. They are not doing their part as an American citizen. There can be no divided allegiance here. There should be one loyalty and that is the loyalty to the American people.

As for Senate passing the immigration bill, I don’t fully agree. The majority of the 11 million or so people here will be given every benefit of this nation as a product of their illegality. I don't think that's a good principle. That’s another topic though. I was mainly concerned with these images. If this is a glimpse of what is to come, I’ve seen enough!
