See the LEGAL immigrants from back in the 1900's had to SWEAR allegiance to the USA.
But with so many Mexican illegals waving Mexican flags and sending SO much money back to mexico, it seems that they are more like Mexicans who only WORK in the U.S. not really the same spirit as the other LEGAL immigrants, no?

They are Mexicans plain and simple, how can they be Americans if they are here illegally?? They can't be. As we saw in May during the marches and rallies, what they thought about the US and her people. You don't come to a country illegally and start waving your home country's flag and demanding rights that you have NO business receiving. And to set the record straight there was MORE than a select few, don't bring your spins on the board. When I saw signs saying that this was "stolen land" and "Viva Mexico" and "viva la raza" I knew we were in trouble!! How can anyone holding those signs (and there were other signs too) and NOT to mention what they did with the US flag, turning it upside down and raising the Mexican flag over it not claim they are a Mexican at heart?? (and let's not forget about Maywood, total act of war)

both 1/2 and 1/2 some come and make a living here and the money stays the other hafe want to help improve their living conditions in Mexico so they just come to work and the only money that
stays here is the necessary needs used here.
I believe the reason for the Mexican flag with the USA flag was to show that the are both mexican and americans.

Most Mexicans who were in those marches May 1 were LEGAL Mexicans. MOST were waving the AMERICAN flag, I know cause I work near there. But the media likes to inflame things and show only the Mexican flags. But it's their right to wave any flag, they want just like the Italians in New York wave the Italian flag on Columbus Day. And also, the old immigrants like the Italians and Irish had no choice, but to stay here cause they came thousands of miles in boats not like Mexicans who are just right across the border. Duhhhh!!!!!

If they are ILLEGAL ALIENS from Mexico, they are CRIMINALS.... they certainly aren't Americans.... they are here stealing from America...
they are also, and they probably don't even realize it, SLAVES of the corrupt rich ruling class in Mexico.... the masters who end up with the money they STEAL in the USA.
They are CRIMINALS, ILLEGAL ALIENS, and they are DESERTERS. They DESERT their country and their people in a time of need. Their beloved country that so mistreats them, will never change for the better so long as Mexicans DESERT and become SLAVES instead of staying in Mexico and fighting for rights and freedoms and earning a chance to live a decent life with a good standard of living in Mexico.
The situation is: it is easier for them to DESERT and STEAL from the USA and its people, than it is to address the corruption in Mexico... Sad...but that doesn't absolve their CRIMINAL STATUS... and they should be DEPORTED along with all of their children.... Once they are all back in Mexico, either Mexico's crooked government will have to end corruption and take care of its people or Mexico will have to have a revolution to end the corruption... and I hope they can keep the filthy left out of the process...
As it stands, ILLEGAL ALIENS are just CRIMINALS with absolutely no rights while in the USA illegally... except the right to GET the HELL OUT.... and STAY OUT.

They swore allegiance to the US and what it stands for. Ya know little things like freedom of speech etc etc. Stuff many so called Americans forget about when trying to make a point.
Like was stated before me. Many that protested were legal or American citizens which happened to be of Mexican ancestry. It is within their right to protest anything they wish. If others think they are betraying the US then those people are being more Un American than the protesters and they themselves should be deported.

Well, first off, if their illegals, there not Americans. They are plain and simple criminals. They will be the ruination of our country if the American people do not take a stand and say , "enough". Get the people out of office who are doing nothing to stop this. They are laughing at the stupidity of the American people who are sitting back while they drain this country of taxes for all the freebee's they end up with. WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!

I just want to say to Hollywood that if they come here is because thay can't make a living in mexico for them and their families, and that is true that 1 dollar equals 10 pesos but just for your information a gallon of milk back in Mexico doesn't cost 3 pesos, it costs 30 pesos is the same as here, so where is the luxury? most of them just make enough money to feed their families. Sorry it's just an observation, and accurate information. And to anwer your qustion, I just want to say that I'm a mexican living legally in the US, and I'm grateful to this country for all the opportunities that I received, but I still love the country where I was born, It was hard for me to come here and not knowing anybody I'm sure that if that happens to you you would feel the same, besides my parents still live in Mexico, then how could I forget my people?
