The guy with the American flag is an A-hole.

Quote:
Actually to tell you the truth, the amnesty protesters were a big joke, mostly paid union members that were bussed in from LA.

Lots of expensive buses, and most of the union thugs just looked really uninterested in the whole thing.
This is an ancient PRI trick.

Give a bunch of uninformed or "not buying it" people some signs, a few slogans, maybe a few threats and put them on the bus, and if they perform at the PRI rally, some free food is doled out. Then, not entirely understanding what the gig is, they are bussed back home.

Otherwise, it's "do you really want a job (or the land Cardenas or [other presidents] gave you?" "Don't want to participate? Your loss". Some caciques, like President Manuel Avila Camacho's brother Maximino, would shoot up polling places if the vote wasn't "going right", and after the unions were subordinated to the PRI, whatever the PRI decreed usually went, bread or bludgeon. This sort of thing also happened with the La Raza Unida takeover of Crystal City and Zavala county, Texas - Tammany Hall dressed up in a wanna be Mexican costume.

Brown ethnic nationalists using the Democrat party as well as some co-opted Unions - the PRI is transplanted to the U.S.
