Then fly there flag over an upside down American flag.\nthen they March in our cities carring a Mexican flag.\nIt seems to me they do not want to be Americans they just want our free health care,Welfare,free education why can any illegal immigrant get any collage scollorship that should go to an American kid or leagle immigrant.\nDuring the 60's & 70's there were thousands of Americans protesting the that WAR were are the Americans now that we need them.\nEvery American should be right there next the these protesters waving our flag protesting them being in our Country.Now is the time when the phones of our Senitors and Congressmen should br ringing off the hoock letting them know if they give amnisty there will be someone else sitting in there sit next election time. we need to take back our Country today 12million in five yrs it will be 30million we gave amnisty 10yrs ago all it did was bring more here knowing if you break the law long enough they will awarded by becomming Americans

1) the upside-down american flag under the mexican flag was invented as a political ploy by minutemen to incite hatred among otherwise sensible people, it has worked.\n\n2) the grand majority of those who are protesting are children and grandchildren of immigrants, in other words u.s. citizens (like me), people who do not want to see their families torn apart so they are protesting before it becomes a law.\n\n3) there is nothing wrong with peaceful, civil protests -that is what makes this country great.  so on may 1st you can protest the protest, and no one will try to stop you\n\n4) the first illegals or aliens in this country stepped off the mayflower, under the pretense of fleeing persecution from England, and stole the land from the Native Americans. \n so don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining.

Hip! Hip! Hooray! for you I come from from my father's side, mexican and from my mother's american. Both of our parent's had instill in us to be patriotic to our country, which is the good old U.S. of A. and I am proud to be an american. I am a 64 yr. old women and What you wrote about the illegals is very true. Why do they have to flaunt their flag in our soil, we do not go to Mexico and do the same. They should be ashamed of themselves in trying to force their ways in us. Can't they see that they all looked ridiculous doing that.

The Mexicans are wanting to take over parts of the United States in order to claim it for their own country. Their strategy is to overwhelm our country's resources through massive illegal immigration, and they are winning. Their alligiance is to Mexico. They do not even want United States citizenship. They are demonstrating for amnesty just to keep from being punished for their crimes, not to get citizenship.\n\nA small sampling of the movement to Mexicanize America is in the following links. An example is in this quoted passage:\n\n"Even as organizers urged marchers to display U.S. flags, the theme of reclaiming "stolen" land remained strong. One popular banner read: "If you think I'm illegal because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history because I'm in my homeland." \n\n"We need to change direction," said Jose Lugo, an instructor in Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder at a campus march last week. "And by allowing these 50,000, 50 million [immigrants] to come in here, we can do that." \n\nThe revolutionary tone has surprised even longtime immigration watchers such as Ira Mehlman, the Los Angeles-based spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. \n\n"I've always been skeptical myself about this [reconquista], but what I've seen over the last few weeks leads me to believe that there's more there than I thought," Mr. Mehlman said. \n\n"You're seeing people marching with Mexican flags chanting, 'This is our country.' I don't think that we can dismiss this as youthful exuberance or a bunch of hotheads," he said. "

If you noticed, there were less Mexican flags flying during these protests (even though there were MANY) because the organizers (la raza) were getting them to give them their Mexican flags, and giving them American flags to wave during the march. In other words, they were trying to hide what they are really all about. They didn't want all of America to see all those Mexican flags, because they know that there will be massive backlash, like there had been previously. These organizers are not stupid. They are spin wizards and they are going to try and dress this up to look harmless. If they hadn't interceded you would have seen nothing but Mexican flags, because that is where the hearts of these protesters truly lies - in Mexico. I say send them AND their flags back to Mexico! Adios!

I do not want to see the Mexicanization of American Culture and that is exactly what will happen in 50-60 years if we don't close our borders to future illegals.  We need a fence on the border with the manpower and technology to bring it to a halt.  As for those already here, have a heart and use common sense.  We aren't going to send them back.  Let's make them legal after they learn english, show they have gainful employment and have them take the citizenship test.  THE POLITICIANS, REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT AND SELLING OUT SOCITEY DOWN THE RIVER FOR THE ILLEGAL VOTES!  SHAME ON THEM, ESPECIALLY THE PRESIDENT.  (I voted for him so I can take him on.)

It is the height of ignorance for an illegal to come to the U.S. then wave the flag of the country they are fleeing in our faces...demanding the rights and largess of a nation they don't even respect.  The first act of an illegal is to break the law to enter.  From that act very little they do benefits anyone but themselves.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.\n\nIllegals need to be deported.

Some Mexicans love it enough to break the f***ing law!!  GODDAMMIT!! I am SOO F***ING tired of hearing about this "rights for illegal immigrants" bullS**t!  they broke federal law coming here, then have the gall to say they want citizenship?? F**K THAT!  I dont care!!  I pay my f***ing taxes, and dammit, build a big f***ing wall if you have to.  There are too damn many illegals in this country now, and I live with more than half of them in SoCal.  For God's sakes, with the immigration protests, illegals brought down the American flag at a SoCal High School and raised the Mexican flag, with the US flag underneath, and upside down.  If you proud Americans aren't pissed about that, there's a problem.  That is BULLS**T!  and i think our f***ing president, despite being a MORON, should understand that, and PREVENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, not grant known felons CLEMENCY!

This country was built on immigrants and this will continue.  I believe that it is important for those who come here to be legal pay taxes and truly yearn to be an American.\n\nThis includes learning english and becoming part of the American Culture and not forcing the culture that you come from down our throughts.  \n\nThe problem with a majority of Mexican immigration right now is that there is a large percentage of those who come here who:\n\n1.  Refuse to learn English\n2.  Get here and learn how to use the system to get free social services\n3.  Do not pay taxes because they earn money under the table\n4.  Celebrate the country that they come from rather than the one that they ran to.\n\nI think that the Mexican Immigrants who are out there waving the Mexican Flag are proving that they do not deserve to be here because they are embracing where they came from rather than where they choose to now live.\n\n****  Hint to Mexicans living in the US if you want to become citizens it would be a good idea to wave the American flag if you want to stay  ******\n\nThe families that came through Ellis Island in the past centrury did so with nothing but a promise of freedom there was no guarentee of a job, place to live, welfare, or other social program.  They were given nothing but oppurtunity and Freedom and if they did not make it they starved to death.\n\nThey had to learn english and you should to and they did not try and live seperate from us they wanted to become us and that is a major difference.\n\nThat said many, if not most of the immigrants from Mexico are hard working people who we owe a debt of gratitude to for taking the very hard jobs that most of us would never do.  I want you to stay but I want you to become an American.

From my experience of the treatment of the Mexican-American community in the US, even those who have been living there since California, Arizona or New Mexico were admitted into the Union, are treated like second or third class citizens. I doubt that they have been complaining enough. I remember 30 years ago, when living in these US States, that few 'Anglos' treated them as if they were even human beings.  These were not naturalized citizens, but people who's families had been in the US of A for even longer than their 'Anglo' neighbors. Is there any wonder that they are dissatisfied with their treatment?\n\nWhen Americans start treating other Americans like Americans, I'm sure they will start treating the US flag with respect.\n\nI saw many descendants of immigrants in the US, who are considered as being Americans, yet who keep flying the flag of their ancestors.  Poles, the Irish, Scots, Ukrainians.. No one complains about them disrespecting the US Flag, for flying the flag of their ancestors, yet the Mexican-Americans are tarred with this brush.  \n\nI guess someday, Americans will grow up and treat all Americans born in America, the same.  Probably not anytime soon though.

They are doing it for $50k!!  I have already said the citizens of the USA will not continually stand by while our government allows illegal immigrants, terrorists, criminals of all kinds to freely enter our country while they speak of 'amnesty' to allow them to stay. Citizens will rise and rebel against the failure of our government to abide by the Constitution they swore on oath to uphold!! The day of reckoning is soon to be upon us!! If amnesty is granted on this election day, Wednesday this week will be the beginning of an uprising this country has not seen since the Civil War!!   Americans have been told to get their heads out of their butts!! If they haven't all hell will break loose!! \n VOTE for the representative against illegal immigration!!! \nVOTE for the representatives who are FOR closing our BORDERS!!\nVOTE for the representatives who demand our laws be enforced!!\nVote for representatives who want ENGLISH as our OFFICIAL language!!!\n\nVOTE!!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!!!VOTE!!

Because chances are the person carrying the flag is an illegal who wants to keep Mexican citizenship but work in the US for all the financial advantages.  Demonstrations by illegals should be dispersed by riot police and the participants arrested, and the Mexican flags burned.  Their arrogant ways and demands for the right to steal from American taxpayers is an affront to every US citizen.  There should be no tolerance at all for these Mexican flag-wavers.  The problem is only going to get worse.\n\nAnd continued incursions into the US by the Mexican Army should be met by a declaration of war.

Of course they're not pro-American!\n\nThey are in America, but if they are not willing to follow the laws of the U.S., then they are anti-U.S. and they are enemies of the U.S.\n\nThey just started waving the American flag after they got all of that flack for only waving Mexican flags. Like we're so blind and dumb that we can't tell the difference.

I'd support such a move not because of any of my personal politics or beliefs, but because Americans need to be reminded about what all this freedom and democracy and inalienable rights $h!t is about.  If heads are so fed up, if everyone's so f--king outraged, they need to get offline and go do something about it.  Look how fast immigration issues got sent up when all the illegal workers rallied and boycotted.  They're not even citizens and they're more American than Americans!\n\nFor some interesting info, though, check Harper's magazine's April issue (I think)-- there's a round table discussion about the possibility, feasability, and consequences of a modern-day American coup detat.

Why do we wave our flags? Because we are proud of our culture and hiratage.  Just because we wave our flags, doesnt meant that want to be americans.  I consider myself a Hispanic American, and proud of both of my culture.  I am a Iraqi Veteran, and there are thousands of Latinos,Asian, European immigrants who were was illegal in the military who are serving this country. Some whom are dying for this country, who love the  USA, but we are also Latinos and we will never forget our country because that what makes us who we are.  Latinos are not just Mexican there Domincans, Honduran, Colombians, Peruvian just to name a few, and alot of them are the ones that are coming back from war. If they want to wave their country flags, so what. Is not causing any damn harm to you.  I will continue to wave my damn flag and can nobody tell me that I am not a US citizen for doing this, because I just like many immigrants have given a lot to this country.

They(Immigrants) are Being Used in a Political Game,  and what This Country's Government is doing to Them is an Insult to Them, but they aren't bright enough to figure that out..........(??Or  ARE  They??) \nAnd apparently MANY AMERICANS aren't either. \n\nWealthy farmers and landowners have always considered the slavery as a birthright. Since the Civil War, it has been denied to them,\n\nBut they got it back with the WTO GATS-FTAA-NAFTA-CAFTA-agreements. \n\nAnd therein lies the strategy for addressing the question of illegal aliens, the so-called ‘guest worker’ programs, the sale of American Citizenship for profit and the destruction of the lives of American citizens who are being crushed financially, emotionally and spiritually by the WTO trade agreements \n\nThey(US GOVT.) will turn America into the same kind of country that Mexico is - a Fascist State with a tiny minority Controlling ALL the Wealth- and the rest of the people in Abject Poverty. \n\n!!!!!OH NO! were being invaded by Dishwashers, and Fruitpickers !!!!! \n\nWashington Can Try to sell the image of the sweet, hard working Mexican people someplace else because I Know Better, And I Aint Buyin It . \n\nWhat do you think you'll have when you Destroy the American People?? \n\nAnd the American Infrastructure??\n\nThe United States will Cease To Exist\n\nDo you Think you'll be Free? Do you Think you'll be Masters of your Destiny? \n\nThink Again because the people that you are supporting - the Illegal Invaders to America Aren't Educated enough and They Aren't Smart enough.\n\n When you look at Globalists like \nBush, Cheney, Rice,  Frist, Kennedy,McCain, Specter, Kerry, and others in Our Nation’s Capitol, \nyou’re looking at men and women Performing a Frightening Experiment on the United States of America. \nYou’re also looking at men and women who have Failed to Stand Up for the U.S. Constitution.\nThey’ve Failed their Oath of Office. \nThey contrived us into an un-winnable war; \ncreated a Horrific National Debt; \nOpened our Borders to unending Illegal Immigration;\nOutsourced, \nInsourced, and \nOffshored Jobs stolen from our middle class—and finally, they abet lawlessness of 20 million Illegal Aliens—instead of preserving our Rights as American Citizens. \n\nIf  WE THE PEOPLE  Don't Stop It,  It is going to Destroy us ALL Eventually.  \n\nThey(IMMIGRANTS) will be The MODERN DAY EQUIVALENT Of Slaves - \n\nAnd SO WILL WE (Citizens)\n\nArticle IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: \n"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion..." \n\nBut What Difference Does It Make?
