UPDATE: If the government won’t deal with this problem, some people have innovative ways to deal with it themselves. The video is a 5 meg file, so give it time to load.

I apologize up front for the title of this post, but it was the only thing I could think of to convey my total and utter disdain for the stupid, insipid, idiotic, morons who dared do this:

Michelle Malkin has the story, I’m too mad to tell it myself:

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)
…
I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The image of the American flag subsumed by another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail.

I’m not so sure about that, politicians have a way of getting awfully stubborn when they perceive that they’re being ordered around by common folk (i.e., constituents).

As others have pointed out, an American flag flying upside down is a sign of distress — the fools who put it that way meant it to be insulting, when they should have realized that it was a call to middle America to wake up and demand action of our representatives. My wife and I have both been on the phone today to Senator Jeff Sessions, one of our Senators from Alabama, who just happens to sit on the judiciary committee, and we made our feelings perfectly clear — seal the borders, north and south, and no, nada, zilch, zero amnesty for anyone who came here illegally.

Now before the first person has a chance to call me racist, I don’t care whether you’re white, black, or purple polka-dotted (as my mother used to say). What matters to me is whether you’re legal. If you’re not, I want your illegal rear-end put in a jail cell, the cost of your incarceration deducted from whatever aid America is giving to your crappy little third-world country, and for your national airline to be forced to bump a paying passenger to take your raggedy-ass home.

Oh, and by the way — you want to insult my flag while you’re here illegally on the soil of my country? Is that the game you want to play? OK, fine:

You don’t like it? Deal with it!

Publius Rendezvous has his own take on the issue.
Euphoric Reality can’t find the words.
