Billboard in Austin, Texas, Stirs Controversy with Latino Immigrant Message (Video)
A new billboard in Austin, Texas, is raising eyebrows and controversy (video below).
The billboard depicts people with clenched fists and flags raised over an image of the U.S.-Mexico border and a heart emblazoned with the Mexican flag logo.
The words on the billboard "Arriba Mi Gente" translate to "Up My People" or "My People Arrive."
The Austin Visual Arts Association and Reagan Outdoor Advertising put up 10 pieces of art on billboards on major highways across Austin.
According to BigPicture.net, “Arriba Mi Gente” was selected from more than 100 entries.
“This has been an exciting opportunity to bring together the extraordinary artistic talent across our community and put it on display for all of Austin to see and enjoy,” says Billy Reagan, president of Reagan Outdoor Advertising.
The artist of the billboard Nancy Guevara said the billboard is about the "border and border culture ... I want to inform people and empower people about the culture ... I want Mexican-Americans to know that it is okay to speak Spanish ... we need to be proud of our roots and fight for our rights here."

I'm going to be a little
I'm going to be a little offensive here because I take offense to this lady and I will direct it torwards her. Look bitch, this is the United States of America. Why don't you be proud of your culture now, the American culture. I support immigration, the right way. But when I see people who come over here and are "repping" their country like it is so much better, it is like, well then go the fuck back to your country then. Yes be proud of your roots, speak spanish. But this is America, the national Language is English, and the Official Language is english. Yes freedom of speech, and it the constituion does not define what language has to be spoken, but it is like an unspoken thing, it is America, your main language should be English. If I go to any other country, I will learn that language before I go and speak that mostly, why, because it's their language, they shouldn't have to learn my language in their country. Same if I had a child in another country, they will learn that language first before english, it is just a principle. Like everybody hating on Katt Williams for his comments in Arizona torwards the Mexican man. He was in the right. That guy was more proud to be Mexican than American. "Mexican is his nationality background, American is his nationality now" so if he loves Mexico so much, get the fuck out. Whatever country you are in, that country comes first, always, plain and simple.
