MExican flag flying above an american flag on government land-- am I the only one who is sickened over this?

Ah, now, it IS okay for another flag to fly above the US flag if it is on, say, embassy soil, which, while may be located in the US, is actually part of the country that the embassy is for.\n\nSo, if the Mexican embassy in the US flies its flag, its actually in their own country.\n\nThat not being the case, well, there is actually a LAW that states no other flag will fly higher than the US flag.

Hmmmm I stopped going to them... Now I definitely won't go back....\nThat would just fry me....\nI have stickers made up  - they say welcome to america we speak english here..    I put them everythere when I see that happening...  It doesn't promote unity when you have a class of people who refuse to learn and become part of society....\nprotesting in the streets waving mexican flags....oh that is so wrong....   \nI have had enough as welll.....

No what bothers me is the misconception people have about it and the stupid groups like the KKK who use it for evil. I don't hate anyone. My stepfather is a black man. I am white. Like the other folks have said it is a symbol of heritage. Civil War History is a big part of some peoples lives. Civil War Reenactments are a hobby of mine. I know black guys who sport the flag down south. In short I don't believe you should hate the flag you should hate the stupid people who misuse the flag. Like Jenn

its ok to have pride of ones heritage but what i seen portrayed by the media it was way more than just heritage. They should of been holding the american flag. Why do they do this also on the 4th of July here in california...to me its an insult. They have holidays where they celebrate heritage, st patricks day, cinco de mayo. columbus day, day of the dead...ect but to do it when you are here illegally and demand rights in a protest is wrong i believe.  I dont get it. I think it was more than just being proud, it was INSULTING. Just my opinion.

Usually it is a distress signal, but foreigners living in the US do it to show how much they disrespect this country and spit on it. I have seen cars driven by turban-heads and spanish looking people with the flag hung upside down from their antenna, or with stickers of the flag upside down on their back window.  Of course, I am a "racist" for saying if they hate it here so much, they should go home.  \n\nI wonder what would happen if we went to their country and did that to their flag?  Or burned their flag on their soil?

Nope. To me, it is just a terrorists gateway. If millions of illegals can cross this border with no problem, how easy would it be for the Al Queda to come on over here from Mexico? I agree with you 100% If it does make us "racist" than so be it. I serve this country with pride, and to see them crossing this border illegally and flying their flags and not bothering to attempt to learn English is a slap to the face for me.

I think most of us tend to react negatively to that flag as well as to  many other symbolic things that we have come to associate with  bad things like a burning cross , a Nazi  symbol...etc.... and no matter how they defend using it   ( some say its just honoring their dead confederate soldiers etc.) you just can't help but feel that person  wishes the south had won and they wish it will rise again...so yep.... its still scary!

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.

i don't care what anybody thinks. this is MY country today , tomorrow, and forever. i will NOT have a country that i can love if we let every JOSE(yes i said JOSE) and his brother come over here to live off of the system. to bad if i step on your feet. i am an American citizen and all i am asking for is the right to be free from the people that do not respect MY country. how can they say they respect America if they hang the mexican flag and sing in spanish. respect is a two way street. you need to give some in order to receive some. as far as i can see, we are giving way more than we are getting in return. KEEP THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OUT AND THEN THERE WILL BE A FUTURE FOR MY CHILDREN, AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Darling.......who cares what is on that roll use it.\n\nJust by this question we are well aware that you think the Mexican flag and its heritage are important.  If you didn't why would you ask this question.\n\nI love people who aren't afraid to say that!......Product...smocdhuct.....                 you knew it would be sacrilege to wipe your butt with an ACTUAL flag....and since you were so worried about the repercussions you asked THIS question about a fake flag.  I love that.\n\nWipe away.......we all know you wouldn't do that to ANY country's REAL flag and salute you for caring SO much about the Mexican flag.

It's meant to insult what the flag stands for. It is an act of defiance. It too is symbolic but it changes no policy.

unfortunately it is legal but its not right to come to the us and fly another flag !

NEVER!!!! And i think the idiots that did that to our flag,should have had the SAME THING done to them!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care what country they're from!! \n\n The flag is not just some piece of cloth!!!!  It's the flag of our country! A lot of people have fought and died for what that flag represents!!! The ILLEGALS that flew the mexican flag during the marches,and the IDIOTS who flew our flag upside down under the mexican flag ,well it's a wonder sombody didn't get SHOT for that stunt!!!!! \n\nAnd,IF i wanted to move to another country,i SURE AS HELL wouldn't be desecrating their flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not DARE to march in their streets and DEMAND to be given "rights"!!!!!\n\nAnd,if i was STUPID enough to do something that crazy,then i would NOT blame the citizens of that country for hating me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. But as JD has pointed out on other posts, it's really ironic, because that is actually a distress signal (Hanging our flag upside down.) Our nation is in distress and it is at the hand of the illegal invasion that is occurring.

The flag is the symbol of our COUNTRY ... not the successive governments ... consequently, if you desecrate the flag, you desecrate the country ... any American who desecrates the flag, spits on his country and on the people who spent their lives defending it ... well, if that's what they want to do, then that's what they want to do, in the name of "freedom of speech" .. personally, I think if anyone feels they have a need to express contempt for their country, all I can say is ... America is not for you ... get out of it ...

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!

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.
