If you do not like the ways of Mexico, change them.  Please do not come here and try to change the American culture.  Why aren't you waiving your flags in Mexico?  \n\nAmericans change what we do not like.  We do not illegally run to other countries  demanding that we get what we want nor do we milk another country dry asking for benefits.  If you do not like it here, go home and change your own country.

well... they messed themselves up. you cant report someone for feeling that way... lol. isnt this freedom of speech? especially on the internet??\n\nYou can't logically and honestly tell me that flying Mexican flags saying we demand you to make us citizens of your country... for being illegal... is the best way to go about bringing changes. RIIIGHHT. Mexicans are hard workers, yes they are. Grown and raised in California, I've grown up/am friends with a lot of Hispanics, but do it the right way... legal immigration.\n\nAnother thing... they (Hispanics) talk about how great their homeland is and how America sucks... wonder why none of them go back there? Show AMERICAN pride, not [insert country here] pride. That's what we had to do when we came over on ships... it's called assimilation.\n\nAnd do you honestly think they pay taxes? Please. They're undocumented. They do not pay taxes. You are crazy for thinking that. Then they send our money to banks out of country. Think what you want, but I would say they have screwed up by doing this right now. There is no basis. You're ILLEGAL... not LEGAL. NO as opposed to YES.

Once again, I totally agree with you on this subject. I that when immigrants come over here and don't won't want to become citizens that they are just taking advantage of us and that their plans are to just use and abuse our economy and go back where they come from later after they have soaked up everything that they can. \n\nAlso, if they came over here b/c America is a great place, then why do they expect us to change our language, lifestyles etc....... If their own land was so unbearable to them that they couldn't live there, why do they want to turn our country into the same place?\n\n That was a great question! I know I have a lot of mad people out there who are reading this, but those are my feelings about this and my feelings will not change as long as I see my country getting run over by illegal immigrants.

I agree with you completely. Of course they have to think first because this is not just something that can be answered without knowing what the real problem is. I think both sides in the story of immigration are going too far. \n\nThe American part are blaming everything on the immigration and they fail to ask a simple question " Why all of a sudden the immigration has become an issue ?!!!! It was good to use cheap labor and Amiga whores in a good economy and now in bad times, it is bad. Why did you let them in in the first place? "\n\nThe Mexican crowd are also taking it too far by waiving Mexican flags in the streets of USA who doesn't tolerate any other flags other than itself which is its right as a sovereign country. They also fail to ask the simple question " Is this my country that I dare to waive a Mexican flag? Why if Mexico is really good, I don't go back and have fun in there? Iranians don't waive their flag in California to demonstrate because they get kicked in the butt right away. "\n\nSo as you said every body should calm down and think before trying to answer any immigration question.

Are you American?  If not, your opinion is like an arsehole we all have one.  If you are NOT American, how would you feel if the did it to yours?  \n\nI will not ever support the illegal aliens of any country that is trying to get a free ride into my country.  You shouldn't either!!!

this shows right here why us Americans want em out......THEY CAN'T EVEN SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE.\n\nYou want to come to the land of the beautiful.....then learn the ways, follow the LAWS and learn our language.\n\nIf an American moved to Mexico....they would be forced to learn spanish to survive........SAME HERE, LEARN PROPER ENGLISH.\n\nNever should of opened the borders from the 1950's.

As a U.S. citizen in Mexico I can vouch for a lot of this info.  Mexico would never allow demonstrations like the ones in the US today (May 1st).  The illegals should be happy they are in such a free country and stop waving the Mexican flag!

I don't like it either, it's going too far. I guess a lot of people really doesn't know anything about this immigration issue. It's pretty obvious that the protesters have a one track mind. Instead of gaining support from immigrants from other countries, creating a bilingual anthem which consists of spanish/english version seems to be selfish. This is one of the reasons why a lot of americans get angry at mexicans and this could be one of the reasons why the bystanders who were willing to support the latinos before might feel it offensive and withdraw their support. I thought the rally was supposed to be for immigrants, now I feel it's only for Latin immigrants. \n\nAsk immigrants from other countries, there are certain rights this country has granted to Mexicans that were not granted to them. Really, the law here is kind of discriminatory, and they don't complain. If this immigration issue is to be a success for the protesters they need to understand that the focus shouldn't only be on Latinos, or it shouldn't be between Latinos and America BUT Immigrants seeking their rights.\n\nI for one hope they get their papers, but I have to say there should be rules. A lot of immigrants came here legally and paid thousands of dollars to earn the right to be legal immigrants. They also sacrificed a lot working for their families too. \n\nI believe these people shouldn't change the Anthem, it's an insult to the country, and an insult to those people who came here and worked hard to earn the right to be called Americans the legal way.

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.

ok u know what?... i'm going to be honest with u.. cause this is actually making me crazy!... i've been talking about this issues for more than weeks now..  had big arguments with my father because of this... my famyly came to the united states with visa.. after a couple of years the united states granted us the residence... to all this.. my parents had been paying taxes since they arrive to this country and decided to stay... this is the case for many people.. that dont actually are from MEXICO .. for your information and for many others that are going to read this.. let me tell u this... many people that happen to come to the united states are also from south america and central america... and many "north americans" tend to label everyone as MEXICANS... this bring disconfort to many people.. i think u should start thinking about how u think about this....\ni know many people that work and do a lot for this country's economy.. and i do agree that many people that want to be legal here don't deserve it... and those should be returned to their own country... \ni also think that many people living here need to get educated and realize that if they're going to protest for their legal status.. they shouldn't be taking their countries flag because of course.. we're talking about USA... not mexico, guatemala, el salvador and many other countries.. they came here.. they live here and they should learn to speak english and become civilized people... \ni also think that the idea of singing the national us anthem in spanish was a bad idea.. i know it was done with the best thoughts but i agree when they say that the anthem it's something that should be sang in the language of the country... i would feel offended by something like that too.. and i ask for an apology to those that agree with me...

During the \napril 10th march, these Mexican nationals placed their country's flag above ours.\n\nThat should tell you from the get-go, its all about "them" and nothing else.  \n\nps...did you see many of the mexican flags flown around the country today - you bet you did!  Yes, they waved more american flags, but only because they were told to do so....\n\nWolves in sheep clothing.

Illegal mexican immigrants don't want to be American, they don't want to learn English, they want the benefits of American jobs and welfare. They come here hating Americans, hating America and carrying their mexican flag in marches across our country. It's an invasion and should be treated like an invasion. Tough military force, arrests of undocumented workers, deportation -- that is the way to stop the flow. Obviously our government doesn't want to secure our borders and stop the invasion - but why?

Hell no! Mexico is trying to take over the USA as it is. Look how many are SNEAKING across the borders now, if we were to give them duel citizen ship, that would be a night mare, then who is next? Canada? I say lets keep the USA as she is, the proud, the free and the home of the brave. Not the nation that has open door policy, (Hey everyone we don't care how many come over and take over our nation, just walk right thru the door and its yours for the taking)  come on, whats next? This is our America, our country, not theirs, they already have their own, why give ours up so easily?

Thats a damn good question. Im not racist one bit but enough is enough. How dare they come to our Country and wave the Mexican flag, that is SO disrespectful! What do you think would happen if we tried to pull that shit in Mexico??
313549
No way...did that really happen? No...we do not want to be like Mexico. Every immigrant that comes to America (legally) should adopt this nations cultures and values regardless of where they are from. I am third generation Mexican-American, and I don't even know Spanish. In fact, my grandfather fought in WWII for the US and my other grandfather who served as a Christian Pastor had sons including my father who served in the US military and Vietnam. My family has always been here legally though, and even my grandfather who knew Spanish always preached....You're in America...speak English. So no, I don't think it's a bad thing to be of Mexican heritage, or any other for that matter, as long as you are a contribution to our society and not a burden. But if you are going to live in this country and migrate from another one, you should above all things FIRST be an AMERICAN. You chose this country...it did not choose you.

THANK YOU! \n\nmy fiancee just said this to me yesterday...mexico is supposed to be "sooo bad" but they sure as hell are not hesitant to act like they still live there...\n\na "respected" principal here in houston even had the audacity to fly the mexican flag alongside the texas and united states flag at his high school...the nerve of some people...one would think that american citizens are the criminals and that we are infringing upon on "their rights"...\n\nmexico is profiting from our downfall...
