Looks like the illegal immigrants don't want to become Americans They want to just turn America into North Mexico. Even those that supported the protest were surprised and they lost all control. Maybe they will come to their senses.
Castillo, a 22-year military intelligence major in the U.S. Army and current legal services coordinator for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, pleaded with the group of about 25 that initially pushed through. This wasn’t part of the plan, she told them. This wouldn’t help. Rather than pull back, members of the group spit on her, shoved her, and cursed at her.
She watched as the rogue protesters pulled down the American flag from in front of the facility, stringing up a Mexican flag in its place. Some people tried to burn the American flag, while others spray-painted derogatory words about police on another.
The flag incident made national headlines, prompting outrage, and discussions about whether it ultimately detracted from the message protesters were trying to send or was an appropriate display of rage.
“It was disgusting and shameful,” Castillo said. “They have compromised our movement, and they stole the spotlight and endangered our undocumented people.”
