We will have Immigration Reform sooner or later thanks to the vast majority of legal residents and Mexicans-American citizens which are smart enough to embrace the American culture and even people like you will benefit from this. THANKS TO THE ACTIVISM OF MEXICANS and LATINOS in general.

If you are so proud of the country, stay there! Wave that Mexican flag there proudly and I bet nobody will blink an eye. Just for fun though, try waving the American flag on Mexican streets and tell me how tolerant they are.
As far as benefiting from the activism of MEXICANS, don't pat yourself on the back too much because not all the attention Mexicans have brought to the table is positive. We wouldn't have the term "Anchor Baby" if Mexicans weren't coming here illegally and having 3 kids and not paying a penny to have them delivered and then getting WIC and other benefits. You think that's something to be proud of? You mean I should be thankful for people who don't know how to use a fucking condom or worse, those who think it's their duty to have as many kids as they can and have other people pay for it?
You think it's a good thing to be so proud of your home country that you don't bother learning English? I'm not even talking about writing a college term paper, I'm talking about people who have been here 5 years not being able to even understand simple sentences. You think that helps the cause?
Oh and what about teenage pregnancy and spending thousands of dollars on 15th birthday parties instead of college? You want to brag about that?
You may call my learning English, not spreading my seed around like wild flowers, and wanting to be part of the US "being ashamed of your heritage" but I acknowledge the things that are wrong with my own culture and call them out instead of wearing rose colored glasses. You don't even own a mirror.
In the meanwhile, please ask your proud countrymen to put their holy flags at home when they protest.
