I know there's going to be a bunch of pushback against the protestors in the comments but taking a stand against something we feel as unjust is always better being than hating on the Internet from the comfort of their armchair. These protestors are in the trenches, that earns my respect.

Anyone who has a problem with Mexican flags shouldn’t be living in San Diego.

So Irish flags are okay for St. Patrick’s Day parades, Italian flags okay for Columbus Day celebrations, German flags okay for October Fest, and Mexican flags are okay on Cinco de Mayo but the flag of Mexico is not okay as a symbol of solidarity while protesting the current mass deportations?

Good to see that someone showed up with an American flag so that all the people who were losing their shit about "muh optics" can now shut up.

Can someone explain to me like I'm an idiot, what exactly are they protesting? Are they saying illegal immigrants should be allowed?

Not a protest. Just a non-sanctioned group of AHoles making life harder for the people commuting while living their lives. Embarrassing

Are we now protesting immigration, illegal immigration or the deportation of criminal illegal migrants?

Where do you find information on when and where these protests are going to be? I only ever hear about them after and would join if I knew about them
