How would Mexicans feel if several hundred Americans protested for Mexican citizenship wrapped in US Flags?

Probably they would think how stupid they were. the only people who want to go TO Mexico are the low lives who realize that those who are upper-middle class here, are kings over there.  The government would love it.  more tax dollars and more money going around.  For their people to buy supplies to go to AMERICA.  Trust me, it would be the total opposite reaction for what we're giving them. (At least the SMART people)

I think so, this is the United States of America, if you're in this country flying and marching under foreign colors, and otherwise maintaining allegiance to some other state, maybe you want to reconsider...I think americans are tired of having foreign flags waved contemptuously under their noses, if you want to anger the majority of actual bona-fide american citizens, just keep it up...

Only if they are legal immigrants.\n\nThe illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nThe illegals get welfare by stealing social security numbers and identities and using false papers. Therefore, the time limits under the Clinton welfare reform doesn't apply to them because once the time limit is up, all they have to do is get new stolen social security numbers and identities and false papers and start all over again. American citizens who draw welfare are limited to the time limits from the welfare reform and are then cut off. American citizens who fall on hard times and have to turn to welfare assistance have a harder time finding jobs that pay enough to live off of because the illegals have taken jobs and depressed the wages of those jobs still available to American citizens. Therefore, those in the lower working class are highly unlikely to ever be able to "work their way up" since the opportunities have been stolen which will entrap these people into poverty with little to no way out.\n\nMy 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.

No. Mexico is governed by different laws and your US citizenship doesn't make you immune to them. \n\nUnless they have laws allowing freedom to protest peacefully you're gonna get in trouble. \n\nAmerican citizenship is not immunity to international law.

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.

Does anyone other than me think it ironic that an illegal, waving the flag of their country of birth will protest for rights in America but not in their own country?

Great question.  I agree with you.  Mexicans were allowed to protest and NO ONE tried to stop them but the Minutemen assembled PEACEFULLY and they were threatened and abused.  Hmmm a little strange.  In Arizona, a mexican national raised his mexican flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property.  An American student took it down and burned it.  Here is my issue: the white kid is in trouble.  BUT hanging another country's flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property is an ACT OF WAR.  But the mexi isn't in trouble.  hmmmmmmmm I think we should react appropriately

There will be a small effect. Americans wont care about the protest but employers might care that they're losing work! And Maybe the politicians should make all immigrants SPEAK ENGLISH in America. Our Schools Teach kids Spanish here but do you think in Mexico they learn english there. Of Course Not. Learn English. Aprender Ingles.

Ya, everyone wants the U.S. to have probs, so they are happy when we protest, except the people in Mexico want us to do good, so they can all come here, so changing the national anthem to spanish, in combination of protesting, will make everyone happy. :-)

The media estimates that almost ONE MILLION ILLEGAL FOREIGN MIGRANTS  and their advocates Militantly Marched in the streets of America under the flag of Mexico. Their agenda is for our FEDERAL LAWS TO BE IGNORED , and their Criminal Trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American Citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly under the flag of a foreign country to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to FORCE Americans to ACCEPT LARGE FOREIGN COLONIES  in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the RIGHT and the moral MORAL OBLIGATION  to DEFEND AMERICA , and  JUST SAY NO !!!\n\n\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (Citizens And ILLEGAL ALIENS ALIKE) Are MARCHING On Our Cities Carrying The FLAG Of ANOTHER NATION , And DEMANDING The Rights Of AMERICAN Citizens... THAT Is The ICING On The Cake \n\nFolks .. You WANT To Be Treated Like AMERICANS Yet You Will Protest Under A FOREIGN FLAG ... And You Expect ME To RALLY With You And SUPPORT Your Cause??? \n\nI Think NOT.. Perhaps You Should Realize Exactly What It Is That You Are Trying To Accomplish... Because To ME It Looks Like An INVASION From A Foreign Army .. \n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE\n \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag\nBy WAVING YOURS In My FACE\nAnd WALKING On MINE??? \n\nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My AMERICAN BROTHERS Of ANY DESCENT

No I don't think so. Look at us americans we will always act all proud to be americans, also if you went to mexico you could ask any of them and they would tell you that they were pround to be that I think it depends on how you carry that pride. I'm glad that you are proud of who you are, too few are

They used to fly the Mexican flag in the apartments here. It was inside the metal screendoor, but it was still very visible.\n\nI came from Vietnam, but I am now an American citizen. I do not fly a Vietnamese flag; I fly the American flag. And anyone who comes here and insists upon  flying their home country's flag ought not do so. But you are asking to write it in law.\nWell, there are ways and means of dealing things without passing laws. The people themselves can make it know that they do not accept such behavior from the immigrants. Stand up for what you believe! If bullied, why not try bullying back?

Because chances are the person carrying the flag is an illegal who wants to keep Mexican citizenship but work in the US for all the financial advantages.  Demonstrations by illegals should be dispersed by riot police and the participants arrested, and the Mexican flags burned.  Their arrogant ways and demands for the right to steal from American taxpayers is an affront to every US citizen.  There should be no tolerance at all for these Mexican flag-wavers.  The problem is only going to get worse.\n\nAnd continued incursions into the US by the Mexican Army should be met by a declaration of war.

If it is good enough for Mexico...then it's good enough for them to abide by.\n\nI'm so tired of the hypocrisy...Sick and tired of the Politically correct mentality...\n\nEveryone should commit to abandoning the "I'm sorry" behavior...always apologizing for being an American.

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??

It didn't help at all. Think about it, Mexicans are marching in American streets chanting in Spanish, draping themselves in the Mexican flag, and dragging and stomping the American flag(yes, they stomped on the American flag, I saw footage of it from one of the protests). This is supposed to gather support from Americans. It solidified my postion against illegals. \n\nP.S. A Latino is one of Latin American decent or related to Spain.
