on May 1ST?  They put the nails in their own coffin when they protested in the USA flying the Mexican flag, demanded rights they don't have, disrespected our laws, leaders and citizens, flew the "Stars and Stripes" below theirs, upside-down, changed our National Anthem, abused our welfare system, glutted our hospital ER's and closed hundreds of hospitals, turned our communities into slums, brought in diseases, became a drain on our economy, brought in their gangs, drugs, pregnant wives, extended families,etc.,etc..

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.

You know you are right i think it was a horrible thing that those Hispanics did. I'm Hispanic too but i think that there are just some things you can not mess with and the national anthem is one of those. They come here for work and a better life for their kids.

Illegals get free health care.  Americans do not get free health care.\n\nWhen I see the illegals parading down the streets of this coultry proudly displaying the Mexican flag, it really makes me extremely angry because they are foreign nationals and they do not have any right to do that.  Its actually an act of war for a foreign national to hoist any flag other than the US flag and they should be treated accordingly  -- i.e. shot.\n\nWhen Japan and Germany tried to do that here in the 40's, we went to war and explained forcefully that they better not try again.  Today, far too many people are just looking the other way.

Absolutly being invaded.  We have illegal immigrants from all over the world......but only 1 group who is burning our flag, trying to change our language, talking of "reclaiming" their land.  Only one group demanding rights for "their" people that our own citizens don't have.  One group that has systematicly planned and infiltrated our government with interests for "their" people.  One group who is anti-angelo and English.  There's not one peep from anyone else.  The Polish don't have special interest groups crying "racism" when they are being deported.  We import and are way to dependant on China, but you don't see the Chinese flag flying over an upside-down American flag because we are dependant on them now.  We have American students under fire for not agreeing with Bush, but yet there's Latino college professors teaching about overthrowing our country and killing the white American and nothing is done.  There's one group "LaRazza" that feel "the race", "their" race is the dominate one.  No....the sob stories don't cut it.  Poor just wanting to work doesn't cut it either.  I agree all Latinos aren't a part of this anymore than all whites went with the KKK or all Germans went with Hitlers views.  But it doesn't take 100% participation for the damage to be done.  It takes a dynamic person and a bunch of radical followers ,in which there seem to be plenty.  All beleiving they are fully justified in their hate for something that happened ions ago.  I just wish these people would stand up and stop hiding behind their mamas skirts and using Illegal immigration and bilingual education which means "must speak Spanish", and "racism".  Yes....there is an invasion going on and a problem with illegal immigration and national security and too much power in business and a host of seperate issues in the midst of obvious problems.\n\nThe other thing to note....if it was just the mythical Atzlan they were trying to reconquor.....it's done.  But they are in Chicago, New York and all states that have high electoral votes.  All sanctuary cities.  It's been street by street, town by town,  it's just "too" planned.  See what big businesses back it and what politicians they back.  It is far from just wanting a job and the rest.  Here in Chicago there are thousands and thousands of homeless.  There is no job here that an American won't do.  But there's a huge population of Latino legal and illegal immigrants.  The latino politicians aren't supporting the law or fighting poverty of anyone other than Latino.  They aren't fighting for bi-lingual Polish-English education where there are more Polish immigrants.  Or Chinese or Arabic.  Only Spanish.  Just doesn't wash.

Yes. It is unfair.  I sincerely apologize for that!  It was unjust and uncalled for!  I have personally made the same mistake many times, not verbally, just mentally.\n\nI know it is wrong but it happens. I hope to explain why it happens, not to justify it, but just to help you understand why. It definitely is wrong. I can't justify it. I welcome legal immigrants and future citizens here with open arms, no matter where you are from.  You ARE the future of our great nation, as you were our past!\n\nOur country is being invaded by illegal aliens. They have been coming here for decades and now it's become an epidemic. Although it's only now being so publicized, Americans HAVE been annoyed and sick of it for decades!  \n\nUnfortunately, the most visible illegals have been Mexicans.  To make it worse, the Mexican illegals and/or the supporters disrespected our country by flying the Mexican flag and flying the American flag upside down. This was a slap to our face!  \n\nIt is wrong, but when a Mexican annoys us now in any way, we associate it with the illegals. It's a shame because legal Mexicans have so much to offer our country. That has been true since our origin and remains true now.  \n\nI would like to say it's the few ruining it for the masses, but the few are becoming masses which is the problem.

Eye-opening, a wake up call. It's time America woke up to the fact that these people are out to kill us, destroy our way of life and put their own perverted system in control of our country and the rest of the world. \n\n When they say they intend to destroy us, we perhaps better pay attention!! To do otherwise would either be naive or unconcerned about our nation's well being.

Oh, there will definitely be rioting.  If they have the guts to wave our flag upside down, and insist that they deserve the American rights, even though they are not American, they will certainly riot if we try to deport them.

No, it did not change my mind. Most who protested are illegals (many were not) and by protesting and leaving the job for a day they thumbed their noses at the very people who gave them jobs (illegally or not, they were given jobs). Biting the hand that feeds you to use a cliche.  Also, they are here ILLEGALLY, that means they are in violation of our laws. I commend those who came here legally and fought long and hard for their citizenship, so we are now just to hand it over because they are protesting? What about all those people who have studied and worked hard to become citizens?  What a slap in their face.

there is going to be changes in our government concerning Immigration laws. There is a big movement because Senate is trying to pass a bill called HR 4437 that criminalizes all immigrants and all that help an immigrant in any way regardless what they are to you. So all immigrants and their families, friends, etc., are doing a boycott on May 1st. "A Day W/O A Mexican" trying to get the government to see what a huge impact it would make in the States if they deported 12Mil Immigrants. It would make a huge change. So either they come up with a fair law, or send them off back to their countries and loose alot of money. There for there will be a huge CHANGE!

They are here already.Why would we even try to deport them all.Regardless of whether they broke the "law".That "law" has never been enforced.So why is eveyone screaming for the cops,all of a sudden.(here comes the sob story(They have lived here for years,decades.They have children that were born here.Most have been productive members of this society.They own homes and have no ties to their home countries.It is ridiculous and silly to say,"send them packin".\nNow not everyone had an opinion on this until the marches and the protesting.I would like to know why that pissed so many ppl off.They do have a right to do that.It is in our Constitution.Even if they are not citizens.\nLast.I am a citizen and I don't know where some ppl got their arrogance from.There is racism involved,and if you have ever experienced racism,you would know it doesn't feel good when someone hates you just because of you ethnicity.And it is even more fucked up when they think it's funny.Maybe I expect too much from my fellow? Americans.

Lets hope that in our lifetime we don't see a day when anything in this country is changed from what our forefathers intended our legacy to be, let alone the Constitution.The only way our Constitution or anything else in Government could be written in a foreign language. would be for said Government to conquer us and shove their brand of government down our throat.The only way I see this happening is through thee back door. the way the Mexican Government and all the other illegals are attempting to gradually change things in their favor.Keep your eyes open and fight the enemy within!

many Americans were mad about the ban of slavery and the duties levied upon them. The Mexicans also put down many restrictions upon their every day life, but in the end many Texans rebelled because they were greedy and wanted to be annexed by the U.S.

Pointless. It'll be "just another manic Monday",get up take a shower, dress, grab a cup of coffee and a granola bar and go to work, late as usual. I'll get gas on my way home, grill some chicken out on the deck and chill out. That boycott won't affect anyone except the communities the illegals themselves live in. Sorta like shooting yourself in the foot. The Spanglish Anthem was just another nail in their coffin, May 1st will be their funeral. I'll sit back and watch it on TV and LMAO!! Great entertainment.

After they took to our streets, May 1, they created a backlash which they will never see the end of.\n\nThis ripple has become a storm and soon will be a tsunami of unequal proportions.\n\nThe middle class is the power class and as we unite through joining pro-American organizations and spending our money saving our heritage, we will be a force not to be reckoned with!\n\nTo quote a Patriot....."be afraid....be very afraid"

I wouldn't call it rhetoric so much as reality. They've had years to get their own country under control and they've proven to be too incompetent to do it. The civil disorder is indeed their own fault, and perhaps we should walk out and let them stew in it.

The illegals were allowed to protest because of their sheer numbers. The authorities just threw up their hands and said the best way to handle it is to try not to piss them off. I bet the little bastards didn't even have to pay for permits and their own policing. Remember how different the response was to anti-war protesters? And they were legal citizens with the right to protest. Remember the people who were being arrested for wearing peace symbols in public? So now the illegals can fly the mexican flag and hang ours upside down and it's called freedom of speech. But only for illegals, not citizens. I am as perplexed by this as you are. Actually now that I think about it I'm not. Nobody cares what happens to Americans, not even our leaders. But if we tried to stop the illegals from protesting we would be viewed as racists.

we the people are to blame. We don't stand up for our rights as americans any more. We don't insist that our factories stay in america. We complain about gas prices and inflation but don't do a thing to try and change it. We let illegal immigrants take our jobs because we are to lazy to do it. We as a nation have become ignorant and lazy and it won't get better until we all wake up. We are a nation of lazy pot smokers who want every thing handed to us and not do a single thing to earn it.
