Is it right that the mexicans put our flag upside down and theirs on top of it?

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.

Yes, they are.\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\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\n \nCultural imperialism\n\n \n\nWe experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series

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?

Yes, When people come here, we usualy say "Welcome" but when people have demonstrations on the streets and carry another country's flag ..I say get the "he** out of here before your thrown out. And I know thats not very Christian of me.But My family has been here since 1620 ( my dad's side) my mothers side is native american. I have served my country in the Military as my dad and his brothers did and his Father and his father all the way back to the revolutionary war. Many have spilled blood for this Country and the Flag. to have a bunch of prople come here and protest with their country's flag is Bullsh*t and it time we Stop it. Let'em stay in their country if they thinks it's so cool. I think most American's are just about fed up with it.  I mean people have a right o come here BUT support the country that gives you freedom. And it's not just Mexicans but everyone.

Screw 'em.  Why should you be afraid to display your own flag, in your own country, for whatever reason you choose?\n\nI don't know if the Mexicans who are breaking windows with the flag are legal or illegal; as far as that goes, I don't even know if they are in fact Mexican. I don't know if they were trying to make a political statement or if they just wanted to destroy something.  Furthermore, I don't care.  All of that is beside the point.  What I do know is that they are thugs, trying to intimidate people through force and violence, and jail is where they belong.\n\nSome of these answers scare the heck out of me.  Why should you display a Mexican flag, if you have no particular allegiance to Mexico?  Further, why should you give a good flying flip at a donut WHO does not like America overseas?  THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY.  You are an AMERICAN.  And the idea that you should have to be afraid to display YOUR flag in YOUR country for ANY reason is sickening.  Take pride, display your flag, and if somebody tries to destroy your property -- and this applies whether they are white, black, Mexican, Japanese, Arab, or from Mars -- do everything you can to make sure the slime winds up in jail (that's provided that you don't catch them in the act and happen to have a baseball bat or a .44 magnum handy).

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?

No, there should be no penalty for these actions.  It is the fundamental freedom of all Americans to do what they will in protest short of wanton destruction of other's property and inhibition of another's freedom of movement.\n\nIf we penalize someone for flying a flag upside down or beneath another nation's flag, we are lessening our freedom and that is, ultimately, what the USA flag represents: FREEDOM.\n\nDo I approve?  No, I do not.  Will I fight to the death for their right to desecrate a USA flag?  Yes, I will.  The reason I feel this way is based on my belief that we, above all nations, must always, always, always protect freedom above else.  It is what we are, who we are, why we are.  And it is not optional.  Anyone who would lodge a penalty against someone for expressing themselves with a piece of cloth (even if that cloth is an American flag) is not a true and loyal American, but a pseudo-patriot who puts more value on woven material than freedom.\n\nIt isn't disrespect for the nation to do it although it is quite childish and makes no sense.  It is disrespect for freedom to stop it, though.\n\nBy the way, flying a flag upside down is not disrespect, it is a universal sign of distress.  If those students think they were doing something disrespectful they were not only being ridiculous they were being ignorant.

I don't think is funny, But it is true that Mexicans are taking back what used to be part of Mexico, and the best thing is that there is not violence involved from our part,we are taking over wheather you like it or not ( ES MEJOR QUE EMPIEZEN A APRENDER ESPAÑOL Pende........)

Let'em wave their flag! Why Not?\nEven if they are nation less, they are also Latinos and Hispanics, and they need to keep their identity of Cubans, as We Mexicanos, our Mexican Identity. Egyptians,, Irish, German, Italians,Lebanese Israeli, do the same.

all of this B,S, about Mexicans being illegal ? strange but unless history is wrong again the Mexicans were here before any whites or any others except Indians, the U,S, took the whole western half of this country from Mexico and many many Mexicans fought for the American forces, then their land and homes were taken by the whites because our gov, did not recognize Spanish land grants, therefore driving many Mexicans who helped and fought for America into Mexico,it would seen those yelling about Mexicans would be yelling about the Islanders here who start crying for their welfare checks before they get off of the boat, or the over one million Muslims who are a very present danger to America, and are robbing us blind thru grants, loans, etc, and are waiting for their Friends to get here so they can cut our throats,    B,T.W.  what about that wet back Mexican who threw his own body on a hand grenade in Iraq to save his American buddies? do you think any Islander or Muslim would do that? don't think so,

Some Mexicans love it enough to break the f***ing law!!  GODDAMMIT!! I am SOO F***ING tired of hearing about this "rights for illegal immigrants" bullS**t!  they broke federal law coming here, then have the gall to say they want citizenship?? F**K THAT!  I dont care!!  I pay my f***ing taxes, and dammit, build a big f***ing wall if you have to.  There are too damn many illegals in this country now, and I live with more than half of them in SoCal.  For God's sakes, with the immigration protests, illegals brought down the American flag at a SoCal High School and raised the Mexican flag, with the US flag underneath, and upside down.  If you proud Americans aren't pissed about that, there's a problem.  That is BULLS**T!  and i think our f***ing president, despite being a MORON, should understand that, and PREVENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, not grant known felons CLEMENCY!

I completely agree. To all you morons saying we stole this land, and they were here first, I have this to say: Pull your head out of your ass, and get a clue. It does not matter HOW this land became The USA, all that matters is that it IS the USA.   No one treats the Mexicans like criminals, only the illegal immigrants, because they are in fact criminals.     I know not ALL of the Mexicans feel like this, but there is a large group talking about taking back this land, and some other non sense, well that sounds like they are trying to wage war to me. While the flag flying may not be treasonous, surely trying to wage war is.  The complete lack of common sense by certain people on here never ceases to amaze me.
