Two opinions regarding the immigration protests [View all]

I have two opinions about the immigration protests which I would hope the protestors keep in mind. One is almost certainly unpopular and the other is often lost in the heat of the moment.

1. Protestors need to refrain from destroying private property as it gives the impression that the protestors are violent criminals whose only goal is the destruction of America - something Trump and his fellow fascists would love to convey to the public.

2. Protestors need to stop waving flags from other countries. That does nothing but give the impression that the protestors prefer the other countries and not America, which in turn reinforces Trump's invasion talk. Protestors should wave the Stars and Stripes and emphasize they support America while protesting these deeply unAmerican actions by Trump.
