Or would you throw a fit of outrage if you saw the Israel flag in a Jewish home or outside a synagogue?
Then, why all this fuzz over Mexican immigrants waving their flag?
Don't you guys fly the Irish flag on St. Patrick's Day?
How many American youngsters display the Union Jack on their T-shirts?
But, noooo, "we're not against Mexicans, we're against illegal aliens"
The world is full of hypocrites.

Skullcap no problem as it is a religious thing not a nation thing. Jewish flag yes.
Irish flag yes.
union jack on a t is a little different. I probably wouldn't even notice a t with the Mexican or any other nations flag on it. It is a little different as it can be from a vacation too.
I still don't have issues with Immigrants. Just illegal aliens. AND not just from Mexico, ones from ANY country.

The thing is bro is that I have never seen a jew fly a flag and protest anything about the way we do things in this country. They don't really have time to do that because they are busy actually doing things right. They educate their kids so they are able to think critically, unlike you. Your analogy is so flawed I don't know where to start.
The thing is that the goal of the country should not be lower wages. Adding more uneducated people to the workforce brings down wages for Americans. Even Mexican-Americans. This is why the average American is getting so pissed off at this. They are making less because of this.
Should we open the border until everyone makes $5 a day like in Mexico? I don't understand why Mexicans don't protest THEIR government in MEXICO. Our country should not be responsible for taking care of Mexico's problems. And don't knock the Jewish people, chances are good if you go to the Doctor or need a immigration lawyer, he will be a JEW, not a MEXICAN.

It was the fact that they had the Mexican flag flying over the American flag and the American flag was upside down...what does an upside down flag mean to you, especially under another countries flag??? How would you like it if I did that to the Mexican flag when I was in Mexico City?? Demanding rights and saying this land was the USA's??

We are talking about ILLEGAL ALIENS, not mexican immigrants!
The Jews are NOT illegals! It was NOT the Jews or Irish, flying their flag in our streets,while demanding to be given "rights' that they are NOT entitled to! It is not the Jews or the Irish sneaking into our country,and flaunting our laws by doing so! It is not the Jews or Irish that are having their kids over here,then sticking US with the hospital bill! It is not the Jews or Irish, draining our welfare system! It is not the Jews or Irish that INSULTED us by flying our flag upside down under a foreign flag! It was the ILLEGAL ALIENS, that did all that!

Exactly. buuuuuuuttttt,
As a Mexican I don't think they should have been waving Mexican flags in their May 1st protests, it should have been American.
I mean, Mexicans have a lot of pride, but it only makes sense.
You know what?
You guys are assholes. You have no right to be angry at pressing 2 on the phone, ******* lazy asses. There are also LEGAL immigrants and also MEXICAN citizens, k?
We work HARD for our money, just like Americans. So I don't think there's anything wrong with us being here.
Whether it's Latinos, Europians, or Asians. WE ALSO ARE LIKE AMERICANS TRYING TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN A GOOD HOME AND MAKE IT BIG.
We are also here for the American dream.
JUST LIKE YOU GUYS ARE.

I see that every time you post a question on here, you display your ignorance about the situation regarding illegal immigration. This situation is not just about Mexicans, either, as you would know if you got your head out of the sand. It seems that it is the Mexican illegal immigrants and their supporters who are constantly trying to make this issue to be about racism against Mexicans, when it isn't, because anti-illegal immigrant supporters are against ALL illegal immigrants.
The issue to do with the Mexican flag was the way in which they did it on May 1st in their marches and protests. It was very obviously meant to be a "put down" of Americans and it was done as a sign of disrespect towards the USA. To American citizens, it felt like a slap in the face and like the illegal immigrants were literally biting the hands that feed them! It was done by mainly Mexicans as it was definitely the Mexican flag that was seen far more than any other flag in the news of those marches and protests. Unfortunately for the illegal immigrants, their activity on that day actually turned more American citizens against them than had been previously. For one thing, it brought to every household in the USA the news of exactly how many illegal immigrants were now actually in their country and how disrespectful so many of them were - actually DEMANDING rights and considerations that most legal immigrants and citizens do not even have! This actually worked to their disadvantage but to the advantage of citizens who had already felt the horrible effects of too much illegal immigration for some time but had not garnered empathy from the citizens who, until now, were oblivious to what was going on because they hadn't yet been directly affected by it.
Your analogy makes no sense here, at all. We don't care if legal Mexican immigrants want to wear sombreros here! We don't care if American Jews want to wear their skullcaps, or if Sikhs want to wear their turbans or if Muslims want to wear their religious garb. That is NOT the issue here! The issue is ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, regardless of where the illegal immigrants come from! Regardless of the colour of their skin! Regardless of their religion. Regardless of their sob stories about their home countries. If they really want US citizens to empathize with them when they tell how poor they were in their home countries and only came to America to "have a better life for themselves and their families," then I believe they should NOT be waving their home countries' flags in the USA. Better, they should be waving the USA flag. Americans are EXTREMELY patriotic to their country and their flag and they do NOT take lightly when disrespect is shown to them. Nothing will get their backs up faster! Even many American citizens who were previously supporters of the poor hard-done-by illegals had their mindsets firmly reversed when they saw the news on May 1st and all those Mexican flags being waved and chants of "La Raza," and "Yes, we can!" etc.
I have no problem with legal immigrants who want to remember where they came from and their cultures, and I don't even care if they fly their flag at their homes, but if they fly a flag from their home country, they should also fly the American flag and they should NOT fly their flag ABOVE the American flag when they are living in this country. They should show respect for the country that they have immigrated to!
Get an education - you are an idiot!

I agree. I support the free speech of the citizens of Mexican ancestry. I have one myself.
Kick the illegal immigrants OUT! European (lots from Eastern Europe), Asian (tons come into California and the coast), African (not many, some), etc.
All of them, regardless of their ancestry.
I'm not a hypocrite. I also know the difference between legal immigration, and those who don't want to be tested for disease, show they have no felonies, show they understand the basics of our government and system, show they have marketable skills, but simply want to take advantage of our system without doing what is legally necessary to do so.
I love legal Mexican immigrants. I love citizens of Mexican ancestry. Let's have more. LOOK AROUND and see the wonderful things that they have brought and changed our country for the better with. I love the choices, the options, the tastes, colors, textures, life.
Kick out the illegal aliens! Period. No more amnesty. Give murderers amnesty and there won't be any murderers? That's as silly as giving amnesty to those who are invading our nation.
How's that for not being a hypocrite?

What you just said was so ignorant, and you obviously have no idea what your talking about...Mexicans come to America to escape the poverty of their own country...yet they come here and fly the Mexican flag, when they want to be Americans? I'm sorry, that doesn't make sense...please explain...and American Jew's aren't illegal aliens...I don't know where that analogy came from.

American Jews...are American and they are not ILLEGAL. They are not making up what they believe to be history. They are not marching in the streets flying another flag. They are not insulting us. They are not taking from us. They don't commit crimes and run back to another country. They are not menaces. Any more brain busters?
