    of course I stayed in a rock type resort, $5 a day

    the windows were wide open, no actual glass, at first I though what, no AC, but it turned out to be fine

    we visited all over, it was an experience for sure, there was good and bad areas for sure

    the weirdest thing for me as an American was the raw whole chicken they sold on street corners unrefridgerated, they hung from poles, I guess their bodies became adapted to this, I never tried it

    oh and their pizza huts, worst pizza ever, would not even call it pizza

    but I am glad I got to visit and see the way others live, but I prefer America

    If they love Mexico so much (enough to flag wave), why aren't they still there?

    Its the difference between the first and third worlds.

    Their GI tracks have adapted to unrefrigerated (but fresh) foods.

    Water supply is suspect.

    Yeah they love that mexican pizza, its even a thing in california.

    Did you get to meet any of the little old ladies that sell toilet paper at the restrooms in town?

    Why isn’t the media reporting the flag incident? I’ve been watching MSNBC and CNN today and they haven’t mentioned it as far as I know.

    It's not illegal to deface or burn a flag.

    nope, I did not, toilet paper was just there, this was about 30 years ago

    and yes, I avoided the water unless added Tequila to it, unfortunately at the airport on the way home I drank water due to massive delays, big mistake

    I don't plan to revisit, but if I did, would take one of those water filter straws or some water pills to sanitize the water

    well at least they are planning to keep track of the families this time... I can not believe they did not take fingerprints of something last time to know which families belonged together

    we do need to worry though if the Trump admin starts to tattoo serial numbers on them

    Because they are the propaganda arm of the democrat party, and us pesky Citizens weren't meant to see this.

    Seeing illegals doing exactly this (or hanging the Mexican flag above the American) pissed off a lot of people in California when they started doing this 15+ years ago.

    I think the average American should see exactly whats going on.

    The average American doesn't give a damn. For example, I couldn't care less because what happened doesn't effect my life at all. I am more concerned about not melting in this heat wave in Vegas.

    I am curious though, did you have a rough time getting through your week with this devastating news in this OP? I am sorry if your week was ruined because of this.

    But is it ok? Not everything that is immoral is illegal, nor should it be.

    That's because the Dem Party leadership put people into categories and forgets that they are still people. Instead the Dem Party leadership and their political experts KNOW that people in a category all think and act in an identical manner according to politically correct designations. Thus when Blacks or Hispanics actually think for themselves instead this throws off the leftist political calculations.

    Do right wing Trump supporters know any history at all?

    Given that most of the us south west was taken at bayonets points from the Mexican nation by US troops the morally outrage over protects involving our flag by Mexicans is kind of amusing.

    Yes, I doubt we are under attack.

    So should you. Get off the internet and go experience the real world for a while.

    Hmmm . . . let me check. Hah! Just as I thought. This is STILL called the United States of America and not Mexico. Screw those Mexican flag waving rump wipes.

    Yes indeed thanks to President Polk who send most of the then US military south into the Mexican nation with the aim of finding more land to turn into slave states

    We have every right to feel moral outrage over those damn Mexicans not showing respect for out flag.

    One thing you seem to be able to count on is that a large percent of Trump supporters do not have a understanding of history.

    Here is President Grant statement over our actions for your information.

    It's always amusing when leftists try to teach Right of Center people history or knowledge of the U.S. Constitution. They read something and actually think that nobody else ever read it either. So you may rest assured that the average conservative knows more about U.S. and world history than the average leftist; and none of which matters. This is the United States of America in case you remain unclear in regards to that issue; and screw Mexican flag waving rump wipes be they actual Mexicans or some few nation-hating leftists pandering to them.

    Be shame if something happened to it in 2020.

    LOL given that most of the southern states we took from Mexico cost more in funds then they are paying to the federal government we would be better off if we would give the Mexicans back those lands except for CA.

    An that does not even consider the world wide shame those states had cause us by voting for Trump.

    Telling your self all those propaganda based lies does not make them actual fact.
