Tough trek to Pasadena for Salvadoran band

Young musicians jumped several hurdles and traveled five days by bus to represent their country in the Rose Parade.

A five-day trek from El Salvador to Pasadena was not supposed to be part of the Rose Parade route for the 230-member youth marching band Nuestros Ã

What a travesty! The Rose Parade USED to symbolize everything AMERICAN and now it's being outsourced to third world banana republiks! China will also debut it's first float tomorrow! Communist China!!! And now we have the MS 13 capitol of the world showing up to strut their stuff!

I objected to the fact that Bill Richarson rode in the parade last year; why would the governor of New Mexico be invited to come to Pasadena? If amnesty is passed, we'll probably have Vicente Fox riding in the parade next year!

Another great American tradition....gone! How sad!!!

ITS OK TO SELL FOREIGN FLAGS AT CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS LIKE CINCO DE MAYO...BECAUSE THAT IS THE FLAVOR OF THE CELEBRATION. BUT IT IS NOT OK TO SELL FOREIGN FLAGS AT AN AMERICAN CELEBRATION. NEXT THEY WILL BE SELLING FOREIGN FLAGS ON FOURTH OF JULY.....MARK MY WORDS....THIS WILL HAPPEN.
