Am I the only one that is offended by illegals in the US parading down the street burning the US flag?

Yes, these invading rats whould be rounded and sent back to the Mexican cesspool they came from.  They bring with them gangs, illigitimate babies, illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, ignorance, and welfare hungry families.  They have totally destroyed their own country--they don't want to live there and now they want to turn the America into a garbage dump like they did to Mexico.  I say shoot them at the border as they try to enter.

Everyone calls everyone 'racist' which is a 'racist' remark itself. That word should be abolished from this category, it is moot point. Being of any particular color or ethnicity is NOT the issue when speaking of the illegal immigrants who come into the USA undocumented. The issue is the fact they are ILLEGAL which is against our laws. It doesn't matter where they came from they are still illegal, even if they came from Europe or Africa. The fact that SO MANY of them come from across our border with Mexico is the reason we are concerned with those illegally entering THERE. There are more than Mexicans entering at that border, we know that, and we know they joined with the other Latina's in the protest on May 1st flying the MEXICAN flag. Those from other countries of Spanish descent didn't fly their flags but supported the Mexican flag. The speeches spoke of Mexico and Mexican people, so naturally all those coming across the Mexican border are going to be referred to as Mexicans, maybe it's wrong but they brought it on themselves by flying that flag. They are all guilty of protesting and demanding rights they don't have. Illegal immigrants don't HAVE rights in the USA including those from Germany and Africa, etc. It is not racist to want laws enforced. By accusing people of being racist it only fuels their anger and actually pushes them to hate the accusers even more. It "creates" a racist mentality where none had been.

Absolutly making it worse!!!  Just like the terriorists are making it worse for Muslims.  They say all muslims aren't terriorists but all terriorists are muslim.  All Mexicans aren't members of the Atzlan/Reconquista crowd but all members are Mexican.  The legal families as well as illegal who do not agree with them are "collateral damage" in their broad scheme.  Why else would 2 non-english speaking students beat the crap out of another who did?  Why would a fellow Mexican get drug out of his car and beaten during a Mexican holiday for having an American flag on his car?  Why would another have scalding coffee thrown in his face because he was against amnesty?  Why do they make it a "race" thing when the head of the Minutemen in Il. is latino?  Other Minutemen are latino.  Where was the race card when 2 Mexican-American  border patrol agents are being unjustly punished for doing their job?  The American people are behind them.  They'll support Elvira who is breaking the law and leave their own out to dry for supporting the law.  They are playing the language card to further cause a rift and seperation of people.  Even when people who learn Spanish to try and communicate...it's not the "right" Spanish....it has to Mexican Spanish.  Anything and everything to push everyone who isn't Mexican out of the picture.  How well do you think a Korean-American is going do speaking the Mexican version of Spanish?  Sorry.....but no.....they are doing incrediable damage.  Their hate and their agenda is far louder and having more impact on the American people than anything.

No, I don't belive so, because as a free country, citicens should be able to do what they want, and protest however they wish, so long as it brings no physical harm to others. However, be it Austrailia, U.S.A. (my home), U.K., or any other free nation, it is truely sad for flags to be burned, and kind of counter productive, as they are using the freedoms of that country to burn the flag (irony?). If I were Austrailian, and saw somone burning an Austrailian flag, I would protest by raising mine higher.\n\nBottom Line...\nPeople should have the right to protest as they please, be it flag burners, or FLAG WAVERS!\n\nGreetings from the states!

As a Canadian, I will burn who's ever flag I want.  I have been involved with, and will continue to be involved with, the burning of the American flag, and the flag of any other country who's actions I disagree with, as an act of protest.  The burning of the American flag symbolizes the distruction of American freedom, and a proud end to your tradition of being "the home of the free".  Oh, and fyi, Americans regularly burn the flags of other countries.  Also, I support the burning of the Canadian flag (as a born Canadian, who's parents and grandparents are born Canadians)when this country gets up to things I don't agree with.  Flag burning is a sign of *strong* disagreement; it shouldn't be over-used, as that robs the act of all meaning.  But the jesture should not, and cannot, be disallowed.  I have not yet burned a Canadian flag, but as mr. Harpers government continues down the same path mr. Bush decided to follow, the day when that action will be warrented comes closer and closer.

I tend to agree.  This crap is pissing people off...and it's squandering any good will many of us may have had in regard to the plight of illegals.

To the people who blasted the questioner:  you are all a bunch of idiots.  \n\nI hate the dumbasses who support these criminal trespassers as much if not more than I hate the illegals. \n\nGood question...keep it up!

Would I be willing to protest against the continued invasion of sovereign American soil, against the continued arrogance of a group of thugs demanding rights and privileges that only legal citizens should get, against Mexican, Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, Cuban, Honduran, and whatever other foreign national flag is being waved in the faces of Americans at the rally's being held by the aforementioned thugs. Would I be willing to do that? You bet your Red, White, and Blue A*s I would! God bless the US and all its LEGAL residents!!

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.

I have many ways to eloquently prove my points or rant and rave like a lunatic to feel better...but I can't possibly make a better point than one that I saw on the news today.\n\nIn Montebello, California...students from another school had ditched class....again....and went to Montebello High School to try and get the students out of that school to run amok in the streets, but none of the students from Montebello came out.\n\nThose punk a** kids who do not deserve to be here had the nerve to take down the American flag...and then put it back up UPSIDE down. WHAT THE????? Talk about a slap in the face of the very nation they are trying to live in and gain rights in...they just proved what I have believed all along. Someone that comes here and pays no attention or respect for the laws of the US will have no respect for the US as a nation and will have no allegiance. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED! THEY DON'T GIVE A RIP ABOUT THE US EXCEPT WHAT THEY CAN GET OUT OF US!\n\nDon't get me started!

I don't hate mexicans, what I hate is ILLEGALS that is the magic word, I personally don't care where the come from if they are in the country ILLEGAL then I take issue with it. It also bothers me that these people are waving Mexican flags in protest here in America.
325406
I do, I had to follow them when I entered the US.  I can not understand why everyone is up in arms about enforcing a law?  That is like the cops stopping to pull over people for speeding?

"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.

No, the ironic thing is that the US flag stands for the FREEDOM to burn it.

Am I supposed to cry?  Millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS lined up in the street saying America sucks waving the Mexican flag (I assume she is Mexican, but it doesn't matter what country), and we're supposed to feel sympathy for another law breaker?\n\nWhy would going home lead to death or endangering her life?  Why should we care?  Millions of people endanger their lives, break our laws and cross our border daily.  Fix the country she came from, or shut your pieholes slamming America, and maybe, just maybe we will let the issue die.\nIt wasn't the Americans who hit the streets telling us we were wrong now was it?\n\nOh, and not be be meanspirited, cancer in any country could lead to death, no?\nI hope she lives.

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.
