I don’t care whether you’re a red-blooded American patriot or a far-left illegal Mexican activist, show some respect and iron your flags. //

Aside from being made from cheap, undoubtedly Chinese-produced polyester, eagle-eyed observers may have noticed that these protest flags have something else in common: Almost all of them are unironed.

In video after video, in picture after picture, we’ve been bombarded by images of rioters taking to the streets, destroying public property, and waving around unironed flags to show their true allegiance. //

If the rioters and activists really cared about their Mexican heritage or the illegal aliens they’re trying to protect, they’d take the time to iron out the unsightly creases in the symbol of their resistance. They can’t show respect to their own home country’s flag, so we can’t expect them to show respect to ours, and that’s reason enough to send them back.

We know that an organized network of far-left groups coordinates organized agitation against ICE and President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. As The Federalist’s Matt Kittle reported this week, groups like the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) and Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) undermine law enforcement and spread lies about the administration’s efforts in an attempt to incite protests. Many of these groups have received considerable public funding.
