I dont like the Mexican flags shown either, I mean it is old dog trick now, maybe it would be better side by side with the American flag, but they're actually on top of the American flag, perhaps there is no intention to this but for some folks it might seems as disrespectful of the American flag... even though it probably isn't intended.

I would have said god damned German flag,or any other country that's showing it, but none of the other ones were being flown that I could tell. It's almost always the Mexican flag too so this isn't an isolated incident. Think about this, those same Mexicans came to this country illegally and are asking for the rules to be changed so they can be part of the US so if anybody is disrespectful, it's them for flying their native country's flag on top of the US flag. If they are so proud to be Mexican, they can go back. I think that's fair. Why are they here? I don't fly my native country's flag unless it's a specific cultural celebration. They are hurting our cause.

Again I'm with you when you're saying they hurt our cause, I have always be against bringing other flags to immigration rallies. The only flag everybody should bring is the American flag.
You are still barking at the wrong tree. I don't think you have to be disrespectful to the Mexican flag and the culture that it represents. It's the GOD DAMNED PEOPLE who made the wrong decision to bring the Mexican flag to blame for, not the flag it self.

Culture and country are different things. The country and government is so screwed up that they willingly break the law to come here and yet they still fly that flag. That just does not compute. My native countrymen who escaped their old country refuse to fly the new flag and even now when they fly the flag in cultural events, they fly the old one to show their contempt for the existing government.

Also you cant say that, obviously you are talking about all Latinos, not all Latinos are Mexicans, only Mexicans will fly Mexicans flags. I piss on the Mexican flag, Lol, joking. But really no one cares about the Mexican Flag but proud Mexicans. I dont really care but I can see how this can backfire, and has before, so stop bringing damn stupid flags.. and If you were to bring other than the American flags, you would have to bring all countries of the world flags.. I dont mean to offend you if you are Mexican but come on dudes.

You are wrong again. Most Mexicans hate their government but not their flag, again stupid people exist in every culture and ethnic group and I disagree with that people who brings Mexican flags to immigration rallies. But your position is no different from the people who call terrorists to all members of one religion just because few extremists from that religion decided to kill innocent people. This position again is no different from the anti-immigrant groups, which also affects our cause.

People should assimilate America, not try to colonize it. Idiots like those give us bad reputation.

Re-read what I said. I didn't say all Latinos are Mexicans, but Mexicans ARE Latinos (usually). In other words, in a group of Latinos protesting, only the Mexicans in the group decided to fly their home country's flag.
