This is a hard one to interpret. Flying an American flag upside down is a military signal of being in distress (although I'm not sure it's used anymore). But somehow I doubt these kids would be that smart. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't immigrating to this country without proper clearance and documentation already against the law (hence the term "illegal alien")? The only reason people want to make it a felony is so that it gets turned over to the federal authorities who have much more power in kicking those fuckers out. Up until now local and state law enforcement have been too chickenshit to enforce these laws because a) it would overwhelm their resources and b) they're afraid of not doing something exactly by the book and getting sued. I think immigration, when done legally, can be a great thing. It's the ILLEGAL motherfuckers that come here and leech off of us that piss me off. The only people who have a problem with this law are generally criminals or the offspring of criminals (i.e. illegals or their children) so their opinions don't count. I also think it's funny that mexicans are the only ones really getting pissed about this even though it'll apply to all illegal aliens. Way to show your cultural pride...confirm a stereotype.

One of the things in this bill provides amnesty and citizenship for illegals already living here. I'm not altogether opposed to that so long as they've been here for a certain amount of time, have been productive, and have no criminal record (other than the immigration thing, that is). As for everyone else...fuck 'em. The gravy train has to end somewhere.
