    r/PublicFreakout doesn’t like this at all

    Wouldn’t it be more effective if they flew American flags also? Protesting to stop deportation but flying the flag of the country they want to send you to doesn’t make sense to me.

    I feel flying American flags would have more impact.

    You know, this is why liberals lost and why we continue to lose. We refuse to try and understand our opposition and their feelings. Flying a flag of a different country and stopping traffic is not going to endear people to your cause.

    The boot will come down, and I don’t think we are ready for the fallout.

    It’s the best ad for Trump that he didn’t pay for. Blocking traffic with foreign flags flying reduces sympathy for these people, and implies that Trump is correct that they don’t belong. Protestors need to ask themselves what they want and how they can get it.

    People’s livelihood depends on them getting to work, school, etc on time. All this does is piss people off who were on the fence with issues like this.

    All I see are people flying a Mexican flag. If they want to counter the whole “immigrant invasion” narrative then maybe they should consider flying the American flag.
