When you see the Mexican flag today (May 1st) do you feel the illegal immigrants still owe their allegiaence?

"When a wise man points to the moon, the idiot looks at the finger" It's not about the flags, it's about the immigrants' rights!

If they are American citizens then they have rights that they can exercise. If they are illegal then they are here at their own risk. And the employers of illegal aliens should be punished. But yes I feel sorry for them too.

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

I completely agree.  We embrace those immigrants who came here respecting our laws, and rejoice when they become American citizens.  And I'll die defending them.  But what I see at those rallies is a bunch of people who skirted the law and now want preferential treatment over the LEGAL immigrants.  And I don't see people proud to be Americans.  I see people wanting voting rights, so they can take what they want, and tailor the American southwest to be more accomodating for Mexico.\n\nI won't let that happen.

What unity are you guys talking about.  They leave their country because it sucks so bad and then they wave that flag around here trying to push a campaign for ILLEGAL immigrant rights.  If they hated their own country so much that they needed to cross the border then they don't need to wave the Mexican flag when they want American rights.

Hurting big time, \n\nDon't get me wrong I am all for people that want to move to America and make a better life for themselves.  But Could they do it legally?  I don't think Mexicans would like me very much if I went to their country waving an American flag, making people learn the English language, and protesting because of the government.  They would laugh in my face.  If we can not protect our borders then our country is not worth having!!!

Why is the Irish flag waved on St. Patrics day?  Because people who came from that country have a reason to unite under it, as does any American who respects their past.\nAre we at War with Mexico?\nGet over it.

I feel angry, frustate at this ugly situation. It is not fair that other immigrants from Europe, with good working references, knowledge of the English language and trustful\nresponsible sponsor have to wait years before they get in the quota list while these illegal can be here in a matter of days just by get over the fence. ARIZONA people earns all\nmy respect for protecting their borders and their jobs while\nCalifornians just sits and watch and waits.

I agree.  But most places say 12 million or so illegals.\n\nDavine: The flag represents a lot including the lives of everyone who fought and died for this country.  That's why it's not just a piece of cloth.  It means something important and I think most people feel the same way.

Yes, legally they are, that's why so many illegals have these anchor babies. \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 experi

Absolutely beautiful,  you are one of the smartest people on this site.  Yes they should when you go to another country you need to respect their culture and flag.  I would not go to mexico and wave an american flag.

I agree.  There hasn't been any protests that I've been able to get to so far, but there needs to be some protests all across the country.\n\nAll of these pro-illegal immigrants should be forced to compensate all of these innocent people who have had their identities and social security numbers stolen by these illegals who invade this country not caring if they hurt Americans or not. And compensate them times ten the financial losses for all of the time and hardship they've had to suffer for these lowlifes.

I was also thinking about this today and I understand why our government is seeking to fix this problem.  What I don't understand is why they think they have a right to be here when they're here illegally.  It is sad because they are trying to improve their lives and their family's life but there is a legal way to go about it and if you're wrong, you're wrong and shouldn't be upset when the government is trying to take care of it.  \n\nIt might seem harsh especially because I have plenty of friends who are immigrants and 1 who was even illegal for a period of time.  But its not fair to those of us who live here and pay taxes, and its also not fair to those immigrants who waited and came here legally.
