Because it's their origin of ancestry and they can?

@faery To many Americans Britain is the origin of their ancestry but you don't see many UK flags in the US.

@Nimbus Don't see many UK flags in the US? really? I see quite a few. Also a lot of Irish, Italian, and Jamaican flags...

@Nimbus you're not allowed to fly the Union Flag if you don't pay the subscription.

@Nimbus You see WAY more Union Jacks than Mexican flags in the US for exactly that reason. And you know exactly why you're seeing a Mexican flag in that picture. The current government are NOT persecuting immigrants from the UK in the streets of America today, are they?

@SumKindaMunster you're right, they're being persecuted illegally! 🤣

@SpudMuffin Yeah that's about all you can muster, a silly nonsensical reply. Let me know when you can piece together a relevant rebuttal...if you can...🤣

@SumKindaMunster just restating what you said. I know English is difficult for non-native speakers, but it's important to keep trying!

@faery I'm pointing out that nobody here legally is being prosecuted. If you are in this country legally, you are not the target of ICE. Your comment about immigrants from the UK is a strawman argument, that's the point I am making.

@SumKindaMunster Who said anything about being "prosecuted"? In fact, it takes due process to be prosecuted in the US. I guess we'll see if they skip that constitutional step this time.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@faery Yes you used the word persecuted, which is incorrect, so I was correcting your grammar along with your point.

faery · 31-35, F

@SumKindaMunster No, it was not incorrect. And, in fact, you used the word 'prosecuted' incorrectly.

faery · 31-35, F

@SumKindaMunster
Here's a free grammar lesson for you:

"Prosecute" and "persecute" are often confused because they share a similar sound and prefix. However, they have distinct meanings. "Prosecute" refers to bringing legal action against someone, typically a crime,. "Persecute", on the other hand, refers to harassing or mistreating someone, often because of their beliefs or identity,

@SumKindaMunster Go ahead and laugh. It's all you can do now

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@faery I didn't use either word incorrectly. You are pushing a grammatical argument, not a logical one.

People who come here illegally are subject to prosecution. You used persecution which is not the correct term in this circumstance.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@faery I can't help but laugh when ignoramuses just keep digging their holes. You're adorable.

@SumKindaMunster Keep throwing insults. It's the height of your level

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@faery And look at you move the goalposts...so I DID use the words correctly then didn't I?

faery · 31-35, F

@SumKindaMunster Nope, not within the context.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@faery

@SumKindaMunster Now who's dragging out the grammatical argument by pushing a false goalpost narrative? All done talking about the issue at hand, I see 😂

Prosecution does not happen in a street 🙄
