No it's completly fine to fly a different countries flag on american soil but it is an insult if the american flag isn't higher that the foreign flag.  Plus when the American flag is flown upside down it is to signify under attack and it is not to be done except in dire distress!  So that tells me that the immigrants are trying to invade america, so why don't we deal with them the same way we deal with anyother invaders!  Mass distruction!!!!!

Both ILLEGAL immigration and FOREIGN INVASION!!  These people were marching in our streets demanding that we give them the same rights as everyone who came here through the LEGAL channels.  Don't you guys see something wrong with this picture??  There is a war going on here at home and people need to wake up to the truth before it gets out of hand.  Yes it is a WAR pro-ILLEGAL immigration supporters have already stated as much.  FOREIGN INVASION?  ABSOLUTELY!!  They have already proven a willingness to disregard our laws and are marching in the streets waving MEXICAN flags.  You can't tell me that's not an invasion of America.  Wake up and smell the roses people.  We can't nor do we have the responsibility to take in and support everyone who wants to immigrate here which is why we have immigration laws already on the books.  I'm sorry that their countries are so hard up but that IS NOT our fault.  Their countries were based on immigration too (Spanish Conquistadors, duh) and they've had A LOT of the SAME opportunities that our forefathers had.  It IS NOT our fault that they didn't use them!  Oh, and I don't have a swastika as I don't see this as a racial issue but a LEGAL issue.  If those of you saying that we're all racist for not wanting CRIMINALS here then you need to get a dictionary and look the meaning of racism up.  I'm not discriminating based on anything other than that they are here ILLEGALLY, REGARDLESS of their reasons and therefore according to the laws already on the books and in effect are supposed to be deported!!  EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has its own immigration laws.  Why is America made into the bad guys for wanting theirs enforced, when the other countries are enforcing theirs???

They shouldnt!! They come here illegally (some, not all) expect us to pay for there retirement with social security, give them food stamps, and give them a drivers license when they cant even speak English. Do you think they heard the phrase"When in Rome..." We fly our flag, why cant they?? Give me a break

No, you should wave the flag of the country that you want to stay in...If you are that proud of the country you are here illegally from, then why did you come here?

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.

If you look at the statistics, the majority of illegal immigrants who are putting a strain on our reasources are Hispanics....and they are the first to protest that they aren't "getting enough rights."  Pathetic.  The majority make no effort to learn our language or our culture, they have been tearing down our flag and replacing it with theirs, and they are DOWNRIGHT RUDE.  Canada has always been a gret resource for the United States and the people who come from up north generally are friendly and make an effort to embrace our country.  On another note.....\n\nWe are closing our borders to terrorists and illegal immigrants on July 4th, and everyone everywhere can help!

ok u know what?... i'm going to be honest with u.. cause this is actually making me crazy!... i've been talking about this issues for more than weeks now..  had big arguments with my father because of this... my famyly came to the united states with visa.. after a couple of years the united states granted us the residence... to all this.. my parents had been paying taxes since they arrive to this country and decided to stay... this is the case for many people.. that dont actually are from MEXICO .. for your information and for many others that are going to read this.. let me tell u this... many people that happen to come to the united states are also from south america and central america... and many "north americans" tend to label everyone as MEXICANS... this bring disconfort to many people.. i think u should start thinking about how u think about this....\ni know many people that work and do a lot for this country's economy.. and i do agree that many people that want to be legal here don't deserve it... and those should be returned to their own country... \ni also think that many people living here need to get educated and realize that if they're going to protest for their legal status.. they shouldn't be taking their countries flag because of course.. we're talking about USA... not mexico, guatemala, el salvador and many other countries.. they came here.. they live here and they should learn to speak english and become civilized people... \ni also think that the idea of singing the national us anthem in spanish was a bad idea.. i know it was done with the best thoughts but i agree when they say that the anthem it's something that should be sang in the language of the country... i would feel offended by something like that too.. and i ask for an apology to those that agree with me...

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.

It is a symbol ............. like the US Flag.  It is a representation of the "peoples".   And it is sacred.\n\n\nNative Pride!

They have pride for where they came from. Though I'm an American (I was born here) I'd still wave a Chinese flag along with an American one.

I don't think illegals of other nationalities realize that Mexican illegals are only protesting for other Mexican illegals.\nIt seems they care only for themselves. Not their host country or their country of origin.

It's people like you that make this country great. You come to this country the right way, you make something of yourself, and I get the impression that you are patriotic- that you would sooner wave the american flag than the italian. However, it's people like pancha over there, that drags this country back down. Go home, senorita, no one wants you here anyway.

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).

"These immigrants are fighting to embrace this nation."\n\nThat is funny.  Of course, how did I miss it.  Waving a foreign flag, speaking a foreign language, demanding free services, bastardizing the National Anthem.  Sound like their trying to embrace this nation - in a war!\n\nI believe that this is going to backfire on them.  In California we need to stop electing these people who hate living in this country.  That's the only reason I can explain why they would boycott it.

From my experience of the treatment of the Mexican-American community in the US, even those who have been living there since California, Arizona or New Mexico were admitted into the Union, are treated like second or third class citizens. I doubt that they have been complaining enough. I remember 30 years ago, when living in these US States, that few 'Anglos' treated them as if they were even human beings.  These were not naturalized citizens, but people who's families had been in the US of A for even longer than their 'Anglo' neighbors. Is there any wonder that they are dissatisfied with their treatment?\n\nWhen Americans start treating other Americans like Americans, I'm sure they will start treating the US flag with respect.\n\nI saw many descendants of immigrants in the US, who are considered as being Americans, yet who keep flying the flag of their ancestors.  Poles, the Irish, Scots, Ukrainians.. No one complains about them disrespecting the US Flag, for flying the flag of their ancestors, yet the Mexican-Americans are tarred with this brush.  \n\nI guess someday, Americans will grow up and treat all Americans born in America, the same.  Probably not anytime soon though.
