1. The Fed needs to finally move on immigration reform to add clarity. Of course,
upholding the laws we already have would be a first start. After Reagan declared amnesty this was all to have been fixed and how many years ago was that. None have wanted to touch this because of the cheap labor exploitation of undocumented workers. Now, it has gone over the top. Long ago corps should have been held accountable for the exploitation of foreign labor, but no, nothing happened, The mess was just allowed to get worse and worse.

2. Pardon me but how can that not insult Mexicans?
We have set the government there in power (remember Bush's interference in the elections) and we have not try to be a neighbor that will help them to prosper because we want their riches, and when the struggling ones seek an income in the USA we meet them with people like these and Joe Arpaio. Yes it is sad to see an American flag burned by another country, but it is even sadder to see this they did it so we will too attitude. Gee wish people would just grow up.

3. Doesn't bug me any
He can burn that flag all he wants. Brown pride doesn't wrap itself behind a flag like white pride does. We as Hispanic actually have a culture that we value. Not really into that whole worshiping a flag thing. And a +1 because it IS nothing but being childish. The intended target of the insult was way off the mark if they think anybody Hispanic is REALLY gonna give a damn about a flag burning. That only works on people who cling to things like guns and religion.

Wrap the flag around yourself... or burn it...meh... whatever keeps you warm. :shrug:
