I feel the same way you do, but you're liable to get mobbed or shot, particularly since Mexicans make up a majority of that town, so just make sure to bring full body armor and an AK. Personally, and no offense to anyone, but if they don't like it here, then leave. No one is asking them to stay here.

I can appreciate the fact that those students are proud of their Mexican heritage, but what they're doing is an insult to U.S. and it's citizens. I know it's a freedom of expression, but I don't think they would like it too much if someone was in their country, put the U.S. flag above theirs and turned theirs upside down. Many people have a misunderstanding as to what it means to be proud of your heritage. It means you celebrate the uniqueness of your culture, not how much better you feel your culture is compared to another. They are suppose to be positive messages, not negative ones. That's how I feel when I see something like this. A positive message would make you want to be happy for them, not want to get into a confrontation with them. I'm sure this action is because of the whole immigration issue, but that's an issue that I won't go into. OK, got that off my chest, back to work.
