Mexicans are Americans. We are all the same.

The only way I could figure to answer this, is to say that if they have arrived in the US and in that respect are to identify themselves as Americans, then it is based on those ideals shared with any and all immigrants who ventured here and founded what would become the Americas... greater freedoms in all areas of life, new opportunities, and simply put, the realization of dreams their homelands could not provide. I think all of us are either in pursuit of such things or the product of them. Hope that answers the question.

Because its just the way they were raised and over 200 years ago minorities were used for slavery and were considered as people it started when indians were enslaved and they were killed off then when blacks were used it was their way of getting money so they considered them as property and were treated as such once we introduced to the industrial period mexicans were used to build railroads and to make a long story short they (racist) do believe in the American dream "that all men are created equally and are endowed by their creator"

As a hispanic I do find offense to it, not necessarily because of what it represents but because of the misinterpretation that it causes. It does cause some confusion to some...I mean why would a person who wants to become a U.S. citizen still have strong nationalism for the country that they wish to escape the hardships of? But from another perspective I believe that the Mexican flag provides comfort and familiarity to those that are on this journey. I think they should wave both.

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

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!!

Because Americans are so patriotic about their country, flag, and beliefs. Disclaimer: I think that's a good thing too.

Of course they're not pro-American!\n\nThey are in America, but if they are not willing to follow the laws of the U.S., then they are anti-U.S. and they are enemies of the U.S.\n\nThey just started waving the American flag after they got all of that flack for only waving Mexican flags. Like we're so blind and dumb that we can't tell the difference.

Illegal mexican immigrants don't want to be American, they don't want to learn English, they want the benefits of American jobs and welfare. They come here hating Americans, hating America and carrying their mexican flag in marches across our country. It's an invasion and should be treated like an invasion. Tough military force, arrests of undocumented workers, deportation -- that is the way to stop the flow. Obviously our government doesn't want to secure our borders and stop the invasion - but why?

Mexicans dont come here to become "Americans".    They think the land was stolen from Mexico, and is rightfully theirs.  They see us as an occupying force.   They don't respect our laws, and they don't want to learn english.  They are not here to intigrate into american culture (or assimulate), they are here to take over thru shear numbers over time.   A million here, a million there, and overtime they will become the majority in some areas.  They will be the power, and americans are too damn dumb to stop them.    \n\nWhine, whimper, boo hoo...but we can't deport 30 million...sniffle...people.   You guttless wimps!!!  why can't we?   Why can't  we at least try instead of whining like a bunch of sissyboys.    We can do anything we put our minds too and nothing is impossible.  \n\nKick those bean eaters out and make them come back legally.

Mexico has given them a culture, a belief and a society.  Just because you emigrate does not mean you throw away your culture and what made you the person you are.  When you parents, grandparents moved to the USA, did they forget about your elders and those that did not move to the USA?  Each and everyone is proud of their heritage.  Italian-Americans, African-American, Chinese-Americans and so on.  They are proud, just as you are proud.

heres the thing it seems every time you put a olive branch out there for them they want the whole tree ,does  anyone  else see this? you say  ok we will make the ones here legal and they say no, then couisn carlos cant come ,ok then you say ok you go home and then we will give work visas and they say no we want to be american what the freakin flip you cant make them happy they want mexico and america  read this\n\nShould the American people support an invasion? Why is "Homeland Security" doing very little about the problem, telling border agents to run the other way from illegals? Does this make sense that we should give tens of millions of illegal aliens aid and comfort at taxpayer expense while we are suffering an increased crime rate, high unemploment rates. all for a people that hate and despise us simply for wanting our laws enforced?\nand for wanting our borders enforced ?\n\nWHO will pay for these millions of illegals on welfare when there are NO REAL DECENT JOBS left for anyone here to support a family? If the Mexicans kill off the current working class, then WHO will support THEM? Let's not forget the auto parts plant moved from Detroit to Mexico just a few years ago, that was then moved back to Detroit about a year later. Why? Because after 12 noon they did almost no work. Several auto production lines were in danger of shutdown because sub-assembly parts were late. Is this the future of America? \n\nwhen they are legal they will want higher pay .they will want more goverment aid,more schools will have to be built as more will be able to come and go freely .in short they will have two countries! and we will be overpopulated and there will not be enough jobs  they need to protest their own country make demands to mexico you know that ole saying some men you just cant help, well this is what that feels like. if we give them jobs in mexico it corrupt and will do no good they need to improve their own land instead of looking to us for everything its time they grow up as a nation  and fend for themselves we cant bare the brunt of a whole country being here saying take care of us !

its ok to have pride of ones heritage but what i seen portrayed by the media it was way more than just heritage. They should of been holding the american flag. Why do they do this also on the 4th of July here in california...to me its an insult. They have holidays where they celebrate heritage, st patricks day, cinco de mayo. columbus day, day of the dead...ect but to do it when you are here illegally and demand rights in a protest is wrong i believe.  I dont get it. I think it was more than just being proud, it was INSULTING. Just my opinion.

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.
