How much SMARTER and HONORABLE would it have been to see AMERICAN flags carried as an allegiance ?

Question

to this country instead of flying their own flag. That was the dumbest thing they did. If they loved America and wanted to be here, they should have HONORED OUR FLAG < not their own.
If you want to be here, love and respect this nation, and let go of the rest !!

Answer 1

It sure didn't HELP them any. No matter, illegally entering ANY country without following that country's laws is grounds for punishment. They are fortunate in that the USA doesn't handle illegal immigrants like some other countries do. Such as many, many years of imprisonment, beatings, hangings, beheadings, etc. They should leave our country before the pi$$ed off Americans take matters into their own hands. Our government has failed us, it's PAST time WE took care of the problem. The illegal immigrants don't give one rats @zz about the USA except the handouts they get at the citizens expense. This is not their land or their home and they should haul their butts back to where they came from or face severe retaliation by the true, BRAVE, loyal, faithful American citizens of the USA.

You are a prime example of the failing educational system in the USA. We wasted good money on YOUR education. You need to go try again, the first one didn't sink in.

Answer 2

Flying American flags in the beginnig of the mayday marches would have been a smart move on the organizers part, too bad they did not think of the consequences of their actions. The repercussions of that day are still being felt. I agree with you, allowing a foreign nations flag to be flown in a protest of American laws was about the dumbest thing that was done that day, besides attempting to demand rights to which they have no claim. That whole protest was ill conceived.

Answer 3

It definately wasn't a smart move. One of many. I know later they tried to tell people to bring the American flag. But by that time.....the damage had been done beyond repair. You know there was bucks and master-minds behind these demonstrations.....unfortunatly they didn't do their research. They did more to cause division than anything.

I did notice other people had their homeland flags. One in particular was the Chinese flag. I don't know how to explain the difference.....but they carried one flag, at waist level for their group. They yelled....but there wasn't the hate in their faces. They simply wanted amnesty. They didn't do the hate the "gringo" trip, or claim the nation would crumble if they didn't work a day, or carry signs to" go back to Europe "or "this is our land"...... they weren't DEMANDING things and the latino group certainly wasn't DEMANDING anything for them. They were the "token" other illegals so it didn't appear "racist".

You haven't seen a Chinese group go on TV saying to learn Chinese because it is the language of the future since so many of our businesses are going there. There weren't negative comments about the American consumer saying if our ports were closed and they took off work that our nation would crumble. Coz that would be more true than a day without Mexicans. There's more heartwrenching and dangerous stories about Chinese who came here illegally...but you don't hear about them. Theres horrid stories of smugglers and especially prostitution rings within their group....but you barely hear a word about those. Many have come from a life that makes Mexico look good....but you don't hear them "blaming" us. They aren't abusing our welfare system or "demanding" anything. Except hoping to be a citizen of this country. I still beleive they have to go but I have more "compassion" for them then I do for the Mexicans. There's alot in this area but I've never had them flip me off. I've never had them glare at me with hatred. They aren't "complaining" about learning English. And hey....they have to learn a whole new set of ABC's and everything else. Talk about "culture shock". Talk about hard workers. But you don't hear a peep. It's a totally different thing. And they are a different "race". Their country is rising in power and more feared I'd say in "global" economy than Mexico could ever be. It's just different. They weren't burning our flag. They atleast know what respect is and how not to bite the hand that feeds you. They probably have more to be ticked about than Mexicans do if they care to drudge up History. But they don't. Says alot.

Answer 4

You are so right. If they, in the March, had displayed American flags it would have made the message much stronger. Problem is, that was not the message they wanted to send. This was a rally led by racist folks who want Mexico honored over and above others. Groups like La Raza, MECHA, PEW and more want "their" culture to be first.
Very much like the KKK. Not all these people are that way ...the little guys ...they are simple dumb pawns. I personally feel we need to be all over these somewhat racist groups. I guess unlike the KKK, they at least work within the law ...but it doesn't make the message any less bitter.
Look how easily all the folks on this sight scream racist at Americans in general who simply want their laws inforced. Shows you who we are dealing with. Racist stupidos.

Answer 5

I agree. If you want to remain here, you should show love and respect for this country, it's culture, and it's people. You should admit your wrongs and be willing to work for a fair solution that takes everyone's needs and concerns into account. Just simply respecting our nation isn't enough, we have to realize the problems that illegal immigration causes and work to solve them in a fair way. Flying the flag of the USA isn't going to secure our border, and it isn't going to give back Medicare money or reopen hospitals either.

Answer 6

The American flag is the only flag that should be honored in our United States. It's dumb and disrespectful to display flags of another country.

Answer 7

convinced, pride is between the seven deadly sins, in case you're catholic. To a protestant, they are all deadly. notwithstanding, in case you're catholic, then your used to surrogate symbols in the church and would haven't any issues. do not salute the flag. it truly is an indication of appreciate from a defense force guy. in case you haven't served, you'll in trouble-free words embarass your self. God under no circumstances once informed you no longer to pledge your self an best pal to someone. We pledge our allegiance to the flag to reaffirm our patriotism, and record our values. The republic, God, team spirit, liberty, justice for all; are all on the record. because there is not any certain god being prayed to (one is suggested, notwithstanding it nevertheless isn't a prayer to him), it isn't idolatry. in case you've been to commence asking the flag for issues, or talking to it awaiting an answer, then it may well be idolatry- or loopy. one in all those.

Answer 8

The only Flag to be flown in this Country should be the American Flag....all other country's flags should be banned, except for when a foiegn dignatary is in town.

Answer 9

Well, if you will flash back to the immigration marches, they all carried Mexican flags. So, why dont they go back if they care more about Mexico than the country they are in and who is paying them for their work???

Answer 10

I agree with you 100 %, and yes there are people here who's life goal is to sound really smart, and correct all of those who use the term AMERICA, when we all know what we are talking about.
