Overheard at the Immigration Protest, Miller Park
Minutes before nearly 200 Hispanic protestors broke from their position on the hill in Miller Park and marched south on Market Street, a heated exchange took place between a (I'm guessing) teenaged protestor and the most vocal member of the almost non-existent counterprotest. The teenager was one of a few in the crowd displaying a Mexican flag and the counterprotestor took issue with it.
Counterprotestor: "Why are you holding that flag? Why don't you hold an American flag? If Mexico is so great, why are you here? Why don't you go back?"
Protestor: "Chinga tu madre, puto." (Translation: "Fuck your mother, asshole.")
The protestors then gave the teen a very loud and disapproving "Ssshhh!" as they stepped forward to raise their American flags and chant, "USA! USA! USA!"
Whatever your viewpoint on the issue of illegal immigration, it's evident that the vast majority of protestors truly love this country and want to be here. As they should.
