What I see is people waving the flag of Mexico. Seems like an invasion to me. If they were here to be U.S. citizens they’d be waving U.S. flags

Heard a rumor this morning that organizers have realized the bad optics in that, and have put out word to wave US flags today. It'll be interesting to see if they're obeyed.

America is a melting pot, many people are proud of their heritage. If seeing a Mexican flag triggers you, I'm wondering if you hold American values, or something else?

LOL, so if I travel to Australia and wave my American flag there, they should consider me to be part of an invasion force?

Socal is majority latino today and was originally mexican land. There is no invasion. A reversion to historical norms if anything. People carrying flags to trigger conservative bigots does not an invasion make.

Then we should make it official by surrendering the territory to Mexico.
