 If the politicians in California had one thousandth of Sowell's smarts,

Notice it doesn't say
 
"Bring me hostile, free-loading assholes,
Waving their own flags."
 
One thing that stands out at every one of these illegal immigration protests
is all the Mexican, Colombian, El Salvadoran, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan
flags
everywhere. Not one American flag among them.
 
That's what invaders do: they flood into your country under the banner of
theirs.

I have to correct the record here. There were American flags on display at the
anti-ICE protests in Seattle yesterday. The rioters were burning them, of
course, but there were American flags.

Nothing says "I love your country so much please let me stay here" like
rioting under the banner of the country you're supposedly fleeing while at the
same time burning the banner of ours.
