Dallas MegaMarch Draws Thousands: "They're Coming to America"
Take a good look at that picture. It's the AMERICAN flag. I'm very, very pleased to see that!! Finally.


Dallas Mega March draws thousands
Protestors were greeted to the sounds of "God Bless America" and "They're Coming to America" as the front lines of the march reached Dallas City Hall plaza around 1:30 p.m.

At 12:52 p.m., thousands wearing white began the march early from the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe to Dallas City Hall chanting and waving American flags.

The protestors were encouraged to wear white as a symbol of peace.

3. I'm just happy they've decided to put the American flag first.
America took them in and gave them a better life - it only makes sense to me...

6. Oh no! They have pride of their former country too?!
IMO we should abolish state flags and Israeli and Irish flags when Israeli and Irish Americans put them up and whatnot...


Just the USA flag!

YOU-ESSAY!

7. You know
if we still have people this happy to get in, we can't be that down and out. Our strength has always been our newcomers and it continues to be.

Good for them.
