What do you think about Illegal immigrants flying the Mexican flag above ours?

As someone who fought, sweat, and bled for this country and that flag I personally take a large offense to that picture, these people want everything and want to pay nothing for it!  They should be shipped back to where they came from on principal alone!!!!

I think we should match Mexico on immigration laws, AND raise them a chicken suit, and a hat dance for their application to be considered...may as well make it a clown circus, can't be any worse than what it already is! LOLOL\n\nJoke's on us, thanks, Mexico! LOL\n\nSupport the US Border Patrol!

I always believed it was illegal lin this country. Now we find out it isn't. Regardless, I think anyone who burns out flag should leave and go to another country. Pick one that is better than this.

The Minutemen are patriots of the highest order, as are you and JD, and some others posting here! Banana Bean, laugh all you want - when the deportation starts, everybody can go cry on the shoulder of good ol' Vicente, right? We Americans need to act, and need to do it now! I applaud the Minutemen for bringing to light what the media has been reluctant to show. Americans must realize that our situation is growing more dire by the day. These invaders do not want to be Americans - they want us out of our own country, and we need to stop the inflow and take our country back! As Pancha so astutely points out, they aren't going to stop (you forgot to put the word ILLEGAL in front of immigrant again, Pancha) so they have to be stopped. If that makes the Minutemen vigilante's, oh well... I support them no matter what you want to call them - brief pause waiting for Pancha to call them racists... GOD BLESS THE US!!!\nYes, Banana Bean - they do want us out! I've seen the signs telling us "Go back to Europe", "This is our continent, not yours", etc. I'm wrong? I just took it wrong the same way I took it wrong when I saw all those Mexican flags flying at the rally's? Or I took it wrong when I saw the pic of the Mexican flag above an upside down American flag? Give it a break! We're not blind, and we're not stupid! You picked a fight with the wrong people - the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans wants illegals out! And although we might not get all of them, we'll at least keep the numbers way, way down - not out of control like it is now! Keep laughing...

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!

Well over here there is a lot of people that talk bad about the immigration situation, but when you guys answer the question and are talking about immigration you guys mean the Mexicans right. Not the Russian, not from other places but just Mexico. Well yes Im going to say im hispanic and no im not Mexican. I was born here but for white people is like whatever. "Yeah your hispanic so you are an immigrant". All of this is reall shady of people just criticizing of people you dont even know. Yeah about the flag, when the Mexicans was holding their flag in top of the United States one was not so cool. Now right there is something you should not be doing and i agree on that. That people shouldnt be holding the mexican flag first than the united states one.  \n\n\nTo just answer the question about this is that yes there are a lot of immigrants that are criminal but also there is a lot of people that are white and they are criminals, but not all the hispanic people are criminals some of them work hard in school. The high school im in right now is workin hard and has the highest test scores in most south central high schools. They are pure hispanics and some blacks. Well my point is that not all hispanic are the same, yes i know they are some lazy hispanic that just dont want to do anything but they are some that came here not legal that are trying there best to be something in life.

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.

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

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 agree. Illegal Immigrants should be deported-- They come here by committing a crime a country that they "love". Then they get mad at the govetrnment and protest with Mexican flags. I just feel they love Mexico more than america and they are only here to leach off of our government (which they are)

I must say i love your questions, but i really dont know. but i would bet its a mexican conspiracy to take over the united states. illegals must go home.

I think it showed that they have no allegience to the US, or else they would not intentionally try to harm the economy.  However, I don't think they did...and this business about protesting until the government gives them their way...sounds like a temper tantrum to me..and one that needs to be stopped.  And this does not make me racist...it makes me sensible..illegal is illegal, period.  And to the people who are going to talk about the laws 200 years ago...times have changed, laws have changed.. Check out citizenship laws in Mexico...they don't allow illegal immigrants, much less give them drivers lisences, translate all into a foreign language for their convenience, or allow them to protest.

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.

The 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\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. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years. \n\n"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole. \n \nCultural imperialism\n\nWe experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series of mini-crises, each of w

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.

If they're illegal, they have no right to be waving the American Flag when protesting the consequences of their illegal actions.  If they're legal immigrants, they have as much right to wave the flag as I do, and my ancestors came to America in the late 1600's. (We missed the Mayflower---lol)
