Disrespect for America from Illegal Immigration Advocates

Via Michelle Malkin I saw this disgraceful photo. As described on Malkin’s site:

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

I wonder if this behavior is comparable to the behavior of the millions of legal immigrants (such as those in my own family) who came to America over the past 200+ years looking for a better life, willing to follow our laws and assimilate into the great melting pot of American society?

Malkin has more great commentary on the impertinent behavior of illegal immigration advocates. I presume it would be expecting too much for those willing to disrespect the immigration laws of the United States to respect its symbols and ideals.
