If Illegal Immigrants really want U.S. citizenship, then WHY do they wave Mexican Flags at their rallies?

Because they hate Americans and have every intention of turning our country into Mexico..

Didn't you get their message during the MAY DAY demonstrations(2006)?
They are MEXICANS and they will stay Mexicans.
They have no respect for America.
And no respect for Americans.

Prior to those demonstrations I had sympathy for illegals...
I worked for contractor and we would go to CASA LATINA in Downtown Seattle
http://www.casa-latina.org/
Pick up a couple of workers.
Take them to job site.
Pay them 12 bucks an hour ...CASH.
Spring for lunch.
Drive them back downtown.
Get contact information so we can get hold of them in the future.

I have worked with illegals on other jobs.
They have been around for years and nobody harassed them or bothered them.

Casa Latina is supported by the City and the United Way.

INGRATES.

Now...I can't stand the sight or the thought of them.

LA RAZA put them up to the rhetoric....
it backfired and alienated a lot of people.

Including me.
Turned me around 180 degrees.
I want a wall.
I want them out.

They don't give a fat rats a** about the United States.

ADD: potential recruits for EL qaeda.

You can take the Mexican out of the country but you can't take Mexico out of the Mexican. That's wants scares me about legalizing the illegals especially those from Mexico.
Most, not all are here for the cash, not the real emotional ties that makes us one people. There is a difference between waving a flag on say St. Patrick's Day Parade,remembering where you came from, and waving a flag from a foreign country when you are demanding rights after you broke the laws of our country, especially when the very country's flag you are waving denies you the very rights you are demanding from the USA.

Speaking of the Irish, I remember a story about the 1934 Olympics held in Berlin. The story goes that a naturalized Irish immigrant was holding the U.S. flag for the U.S. team, he refuse to lower the U.S flag as he passed Hitler, stating HIS country's flag bows to no one.
If an Irish flag is flown on ST.Patrick's day, so what.
Cinco de mayo is a holiday invented by Budweiser.

I personally think that is wrong , and I'm Mexican , (legal resident) for those who are about to attack me , it is only creating more tension between the two parties , also we don't burn American flags , that is taking place in Afghanistan and Iraq, we are not looking for nothing more than legalization for those who don't have it , nothing more if you are saying most of the illegals don't pay taxes well then give them a real SSN and a green card and have them comply like me and you do. then. ....

My gut feeling tells me these people wave the Mexican flag because they are Mexican and not American. Logic tells me they plan on staying Mexican and not becoming American. Illegal immigrants (mostly Hispanic/Latino), want to make America has Hispanic/Latino as possible. For the most part, I do not see them becoming a part of American society. I see them molding the American society into their vision of a Hispanic/Latino America. These people want U.S. citizenship for the right to hold the title of being American for their own personal benefit and not for the greater good of becoming a true American for the sake of America. Give these people citizenship and they will be laughing all the way to your piggy bank while simultaneously turning this country into the 3rd world nations these people come from. 3rd world mentalities breed 3rd world nations. Anybody, from anywhere, who wants to be American, shouldn't be waving a flag from any other country......Clearly, those who do, have shown their real colors and they aren't red, white, and blue. Moving forward, I can only assume that if these people start waving the American flag, they are assuming I must be a moron and would actually believe they wish to be loyal Americans. Comprende La Raza? Este Gringo es no estupido!

B/C they have no respect for the country and citizens in which they want to leve off of.

Illegal citizens regardless where they are, they are still proud of their heritage. Even people who are not illegal, they are proud of their heritage and ancestors. Legals also have their own parades and they wave their flags too. That should not bother any person unless they are just picking on immigrants.

look at you face you mexican.know you talk about your little raza before you where mexican.

we're the only country in the world where people come over here and expect to be catered to. waving their countries flag but demanding to be u.s. citizens is very hypocritical but we've become a country where the minority, not majority, rules, so it's accepted.

Because they dont want to become legal immigrants. They want this country for their own.

really, illegals wave the "Mexican Flag?"
NEW FLASH, all illegals are not from MEXICO, and there were lots of different flags being waved in their rallies and marches, not to mention lots of the flags were American flags.

Goes to show people ignorantly choose to talk about what they choose to see.

While I agree that waving Mexican flag while protesting for rights in America does not sound all that appropriate to me, I prefer to think it more of a show of heritage rather than a show of Mexicans taking over America. America is built by immigrants after all.

What really makes America unique is not its democracy and its economic prowess (which has been whining as of late), it is really the multi-cultural faces that Americans represent. The more people can embrace that spirit, the better off America will become.

It is often waived along with the American flag in an effort to "unite" people from that country and to encourage them to come out 'from the shadows" and participate.

Outrageous- Los federales do not know the laws. They may open fire on any demonstration, though. As, they have, historically. That solved the problem. rarely do you see a demonstration. People are too afraid.

Alot of protesters bring the Mexico flag NOT because we want to take over but because we want to show that Hispanics have a voice too. I was in a rally and yes we did bring a Mexican flag but we had NO intention of making everyone believe we wanted to take over.

Its nothing sinister.

Green Bay Packers fans wear cheeseheads, Vikings fans wear horned helmets, Scottish wear kilts, Gays wear leather, Anti-war protesters carry peace symbols.

Have you seen the state banners at the Democratic and Republican conventions? Did you see the Polish, Irish, and Chinese flags at recent immigration demonstrations?

They are saying, hey look at me, I'm from Mexico (or wherever).

WE JUST DO, AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING SO.. AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT..

Why do people wave Irish flags on St Patrick's Day?

victor r

the same reason people still wave the confederate flag

so the rebel flag is American but i thought the they tried to break ties with the US. How can that make it American, if they wanted to leave the US.

First of all most all of us support fair laws in regards to immigration which is different than supporting illegal immigration. Those who beg for no legalization process and forcing people to remain illegally here are pro illegal immigration per se.

in regards to your post though I can see you haven't been to many of the rallies, the ones I have been to all had way more US flags being waved than any other country. Some waved flags from their native country to represent where they originally came from and waved a US flag. There is nothing wrong with waving both anymore than it is wrong for me to wave a US flag and a Texas flag at the same time.

No it doesn't say that at all. I am not from Honduras, but my husband's family is. I fly three flags in my car, one from Texas, another from the US and another from Honduras and btw it is called 'Freedom of Speech' so it isn't anything about taking over it is about pride in your family. Learn something before you make wide assumptions about the meaning behind why people do things without asking them.

Also, no Confederate Flags aren't American they are a symbol that someone hopes to create treason against the US and segregate the country again. They want to become a southern confederate union not the US and they are basically flaunting treason in the face of the US.

Outrageous, absolutely nothing would happen to you it isn't illegal to have a US flag in Mexico. I had one the entire way through Mexico three times on my vehicle and not a soul said anything to me about it.

Jimmy, don't let the door hit you on the way out because this country has never been a state religion and never will be so it wasn't meant for just Christians as your ancestors came here on the belief of freedom of religion (ALL OF THEM) not just one.
