I'm not a fan of the flag burning phenomenon, but really, what are they going to do? Invade us?

Mexico says U.S. group burning Mexican flag is unacceptable

MEXICO CITY – A Mexican official on Monday struck out at a U.S. anti-immigrant group for burning the Mexican flag outside a consulate in Tucson.
“We consider any provocation or vandalism of national symbols to be unacceptable,” Foreign Relations Undersecretary Lourdes Aranda said in a news conference.
About 12 people from the Tucson-based Border Guardians burned the flag Sunday on the sidewalk in front of the Mexican Consulate. They carried a sign that read, “Defending American Sovereignty.”
Group members spoke out against proposed immigration laws and blamed the Mexican government for the number of undocumented migrants who enter the United States through Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The protest came as hundreds of thousands people have marched in U.S. cities to support immigration reforms. Demonstrators have carried Mexican as well as American flags.
Border Guardians director Laine Lawless said the group plans to burn more flags.
“Anytime they take to the streets, we'll burn a Mexican flag,” Lawless said.<div>"True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else."
