I read so many stories or see on TV illegal immigrants waving their native flags {Mexico, Poland, etc} while demonstrating for rights in America. If illegals want benefits from America, should they be waving the American flag at these demonstrations because it is America!

So people who want citizenship in American can't have pride in their heritage?
That is an interesting thought considering America is supposed to be a land of cultural tolerance.
However, in actuality we know that is not true. Too much cultural ignorance exists. And too much hate.
Why can an American not see someone waving the flag of their country and be happy for them, feel pride with them, support each other. Why not put your energy into helping people gain better lives than spreading ignorance?
Just a thought...

Your "analogy" is pretty weak!!
People at these anti-America demonstrations are demanding rights they are not entitled to. All the original poster was saying, that if they want to be an American, they should be proudly waving an American flag.
St. Patrick's Day is not a protest!!
None of the holidays celebrated by Americans are a protest by people in this country ILLEGALLY demanding anything!!

They come here to bleed our country dry by getting on welfare medicare and other social services that the libs promote. They do not come here to assimilate and become American citizens. They do not learn to speak, read, and write english nor do they teach their kids. I know what you libs are going to say " This country was founded on immigration". Yes it was but the Italians, Irish and other europeans came here legally, became Americans, learned the language and culture, and passed it down to the future generations. They also worked very hard and weren't living off the system.

What they want is free money, free healthcare, jobs and citizen ship. They don't want the traditions, culture etc. They are not here to become part of this country, they are here to rip the benefits!

ILLEGALS should not be "waving" anything!!! They should not even be in THIS country!!! They are NONcitizens, and as such, they have NO "rights" here!!! They need to LEAVE!!!
