OK ,I know I am not the only one to see the picture of the American flag being put under the mexican flag and being turned upside down. Or better yet the Spanish version of the Star - Spangled Banner; Which both are very disturbing. \n\nI would love to know from everyone What do these people have to do for Americans to go ok this is enough, we are going to send all illegal people home and we are sick of them disrespecting our culture.\n\nI mean now this is getting off the wall, I mean what are they going to do next.\n\nAnd I'm not trying to be racist, because I could of easily said a certain type of people need to go home. So I really don't want the you racist answers.

I know I have spoken out against illegal aliens in response to other questions, and I'm ashamed to admit I never thought about how it would affect the Hispanic folks who have every legal right to be here, same as my ancestors.  I apologize for that.\n\nPersonally, I think we're in a situation similar to that of pre-Nazi Germany.  We have our own Brown Shirts (Homeland Security) and people spying on each other (truck drivers, delivery people and taxi drivers have been asked to keep their eyes open for suspicious activity) and I think we're in for a very bad time in this country.  I think we will all be required to carry papers before too long.  There will no longer be freedom of movement, etc.  God help us all!

"These immigrants are fighting to embrace this nation."\n\nThat is funny.  Of course, how did I miss it.  Waving a foreign flag, speaking a foreign language, demanding free services, bastardizing the National Anthem.  Sound like their trying to embrace this nation - in a war!\n\nI believe that this is going to backfire on them.  In California we need to stop electing these people who hate living in this country.  That's the only reason I can explain why they would boycott it.

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.

Good point! I totally agree with you. And another thing that stumps me is when thy go around waving the mexican flag. I thought they wanted to be Americn citizens.

Immigrants are great, but these are ILLEGAL ALIENS.  It looks to me like a great opportunity for INS to find all these lawbreakers in one place and initiate arrests.  With our being told which companies HAD to shut down completely or partially, that the Attorney General, Homeland Security, or whomever is responsible for fining companies who do hire illegal aliens, really just have a list now that they can follow. \n\nThe protest offended, but didn't really affect me, or the town in which I live.  The following things bothered me:\na.  these protests were for ILLEGAL ALIENS, NOT regular immigrants.  Their PR machine was great in blurring the lines here.\n\nb.  The Mexican flags were still very prominent.\n\nc.  I was soooo tired of seeing all the posters written in Spanish!!!!!!  And the signs that were translated to English were often very critical of this counry that they claim to love so much.\n\nd.  One of the organizers, last name Rodriguez I think, was on some TV shows the day before.  He made very negative comments about the U.S. in general.  It seemed he was leading up to the one comment that made me wonder about the REAL agenda.....he said, paraphrasing, that the southern part of the U.S. was STOLEN from Mexico, and that the people just wanted to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  Okay, we did fight and confiscate land way back in our early history......but wasn't just about every country formed by gaining land from somebody??  \n\ne.  The whole thing would have been so much less significant, had our media simply refused to give these demonstrations wall to wall media coverage!!\n\nf.  Do these illegal aliens have the constitutional right to assemble like this?  This is just a question I wondered about.......they are not citizens.\n\ng.  IF these folks are really protesting for rights, better conditions, etc., well, I can't help but be curious as to why they don't just demonstrate in their own countries where conditions must be worse.  Couldn't they use this energy to focus on problems at home?\n\nh.  I can't help but wonder WHEN the LEGAL CITIZENS of the U.S. will step up to the plate, care enough to organize as efficiently as these folks, and take our voices and opinions to the streets, all the way to Washington D.C.\n\nWhew, got some of that off my chest!  I understand the plight of these illegal aliens, and this IS a country of immigrants, but it's also a county of laws.  What do you think would happen to us if thousands of U.S. citizens decided to sneak into Mexico, Colombia, Venzuela, Russia, China, etc., and march on their capitols & make demands for rights while waving American flags and speaking mainly English?  How about trying that in Cuba or Iran?  \n\nWelcome to all immigrants, just do it LEGALLY!  We do have a process in place for that.  Many of us feel that we and our country are being greatly disrespected by the ILLEGAL ALIENS. (I am ever so tired of the term "undocumented workers"..............does that mean that we citizens can drive around freely with no drivers' licenses, and simply be "undocumented drivers"?  Political correctness can get way out of hand.\n\nI just about forgot one other thing that burns me, and that's the so-called Spanish version of our National Anthem!  This is not a translation, the lyrics are totally different.  This is the United States.  We speak English.  A common language is necessary for assimilation.  And our National Anthem should be sung in English!  What's next, translating our Constitution, the Pledge of Allegience, etc??

They simply refuse to assimilate into American culture. As a country of immigrants, we are all keenly aware of who we are, and where we came from. All said, the only flag I fly at my house is an AMERICAN flag! In other words, they have no respect for us, and it's time we return the sentiment! Look at it this way. When we start rounding them up for deportation, we'll know who's who and where they're going by the flags on their houses, cars, shirts, in their hands... just makes it easier for us! After all, you know how lazy we are!!

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!

Yeah, I already knew this before the video.  Any non-illegals that marched are just sheep that dont understand the issue at all.  Its time to get all the Illegals sent home.  Legals are great, but our social structure cannot handle this flood of illegals.  Some good news- the INS just arrewsted 70 illegals from a single builder in the Cincinnati area yesterday, and they say that more arrests are coming at other builders shortly.  They also arrested a number of the Americans that hired them, and raided the coirporate HQ to get the financial records.  Hopefully they step up this initiative nationally, and really start throwing them out.

obeirn1:  Fianlly someone with a brain on here.  I agree with you 100%.  Here is the trouble with this immigration debate, to much prejudices, and racisits trying to run the country.  Also some of these "haters" as I have so affectionatly called them, tend to go with what the neighbor says without investingating things themselves.  Like most things, when people jump to conclusions, this whole thing will turn out to blow up in the "haters" face.  People dont realize that it is not just "Mexicans" here illegally, and if you look at the problem more, you will se that it is actually our own Governement (INS policies) that prohibit the majority of these hispanics from gaining papers.  Look at it from their side, if your kids were starving would you not do what you had to do to feed them?  Now if you cant afford food, how on earth are you to afford thousands of dollars for papers, when the wages in countries like Mexico are 5 bucks a week....people just think they know all when they refuse to see the tarnish on the coin.  ~~To answer the question, I am ashamed that as a whole, americans think they are somehow better than the rest of the world!~~

They not only changed it to spanish, they changed the words. They already burn or 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.

Sir,\nYou make me very proud to be an american, Bravo.  I wish more people were like you.  Good point though if you dont want to be here than get the hell out.  If you dont agree with the way we do things here well than get the freakin hell out.  If you are going to try and fly a mexican flag on american soil well get ready to get a flag pole shoved up your a$$ and get ready to get kicked out.

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.)

I think they feel that by displaying the american flag(which is where they're not from) will make their culture magicaly dissappear. Which is crap because you yourself has to deny your culture, no one can take it away from you. I agree with you. I know people who want to be here and try hard to learn english and then you have others who could care less. what if the american all went to one other country and didn't try to do what they do. they wouldn't like that one bit.

You are SO RIGHT!!!! It is NOT about race,color,religion,or ANY of these!!!! What it IS about is CRIMINALS sneaking into this country, BREAKING our laws,Living off WELFARE (I know people on HERE, say that's NOT true,but i KNOW FOR A FACT,that it IS true!!), they have their kids,then the TAXPAYERS get STUCK paying their MEDICAL BILLS!!! They play the old "racist" card when anyone protests their actions!! They DO take jobs Americans WILL do!!! Then they have the GALL to march in OUR streets and DEMAND "rights" (WHICH they are NOT entitled to!!) while carrying their CRAPPY MEXICAN flag!!!! Now THAT is WORTH FIGHTING over!!!!
326289
Ya, I so agree with you on this one, we are overpopulated enough and what the heck is happening to this country, the other day on cinco de mayo, they made the kids in class say the pledge of allegiance to the Spanish flag, this is America people, not Mexico or Spain, they don't pledge to our flag in other country's why should we pledge to there's...this is the USA and they are taking jobs away from us, and our tax's are paying them to pop baby's out left and right that they can't afford, ahhhhhhhhhhhh....thanks for letting me vent...God bless

While there are illegals of other nationalties here, the MAJORITY of ILLEGALS are from mexico! There is an estimated 11-30 million of them here in the U.S. ALREADY,with thousands sneaking in daily!!!!  THESE are the ones having their "protest" marches and bringing ATTENTION to the mexicans!!\n\nAnd,YES it is making a LOT of legal mexican people,VERY angry!!! My sister-in-law (who is mexican) said her friends and family are EMBARRASED by these illegals that have sneaked  over here, and start DEMANDING to be given "rights"!! I have mexican friends who feel the same way about illegals!\nI live in Arizona,which is the WORST state for illegals coming into the U.S.!!! We have had problems with illegals for YEARS !! I don't think people in the U.S. actually realized how MANY illegals are here,until they marched in OUR streets,carrying those UGLY mexican flags!!!! To see that MANY illeglals,marching and DEMANDING "rights", to see those pictures of OUR flag hung upside down UNDER the mexican flag,well that really PISSED a lot of people off!!!!!!!!! I hope this does NOT turn into a race war,because there are some really sweet mexican people,and as i said, my sister-in -law is mexican,and she and i are best buds!!!@
