Why is it so bad that protestors are waving their country's flag?

You can be proud of your heritage and still be loyal to America! You can be loyal to two countries! Some immigrants didn't chose to come here, my parents chose for me and it's the same with all my friends. \n\nMy house is like a small chunk of Colombia, we have a Colombian flag and eat Colombian (and Arabic I'm half Arabic) food! We do all this, but are STILL LOYAL TO AMERICA!\n\nI fully agree with the asker of this question and Panch as well. So what should we say,"Gracias gringos for calling me trash and making me realize how bad it is to be loyal to two countries! We're so sorry!" is that what you want us to say?\n\nNOT GONNA HAPPEN!

No, you should wave the flag of the country that you want to stay in...If you are that proud of the country you are here illegally from, then why did you come here?

Some people regard it as a sign of disrespect.\n\nThey are basically saying that it makes it easier to wipe your ass with it when you run out of toilet paper.\n\nI think all flags should be respected.

In general no.  BUT, when there are Mexicans who came here illegally waving Mexican flags and then talking about their "rights" and how they deserve a get out of jail free card (amnesty) because they work for a living does offend me.  It would be the same with the Irish, the Canadians or any other nationality.  Also, I do get offend when people wave the Nazi flag for obvious reasons.

1) the upside-down american flag under the mexican flag was invented as a political ploy by minutemen to incite hatred among otherwise sensible people, it has worked.\n\n2) the grand majority of those who are protesting are children and grandchildren of immigrants, in other words u.s. citizens (like me), people who do not want to see their families torn apart so they are protesting before it becomes a law.\n\n3) there is nothing wrong with peaceful, civil protests -that is what makes this country great.  so on may 1st you can protest the protest, and no one will try to stop you\n\n4) the first illegals or aliens in this country stepped off the mayflower, under the pretense of fleeing persecution from England, and stole the land from the Native Americans. \n so don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining.

It's because of ignorant a**es like yourself that we are hated so overseas.\n\nYou're next question will probably be "Why do people hate us so much?"\n\nYou f**king retard.  Why don't you wrap your American flag around your head and suffocate yourself with it so the rest of us don't have to pay for your arrogance when we travel abroad.

It brings people of the same nation together, but I agree with Bruce that it definitely encourages jingoism and xenophobia.  I am a Germany fan in England and last night had my Germany flag torn down from my window by someone who jumped over the fence into my back garden.

Because people like you are encouraging them.\n\nOf course your claim that they are 'kicking our butts' demonstrates how little you know about what is going on over there.

It's people like you that make this country great. You come to this country the right way, you make something of yourself, and I get the impression that you are patriotic- that you would sooner wave the american flag than the italian. However, it's people like pancha over there, that drags this country back down. Go home, senorita, no one wants you here anyway.

Why do we wave our flags? Because we are proud of our culture and hiratage.  Just because we wave our flags, doesnt meant that want to be americans.  I consider myself a Hispanic American, and proud of both of my culture.  I am a Iraqi Veteran, and there are thousands of Latinos,Asian, European immigrants who were was illegal in the military who are serving this country. Some whom are dying for this country, who love the  USA, but we are also Latinos and we will never forget our country because that what makes us who we are.  Latinos are not just Mexican there Domincans, Honduran, Colombians, Peruvian just to name a few, and alot of them are the ones that are coming back from war. If they want to wave their country flags, so what. Is not causing any damn harm to you.  I will continue to wave my damn flag and can nobody tell me that I am not a US citizen for doing this, because I just like many immigrants have given a lot to this country.

They wave that flag because they don't want to assimilate into America, they just want the money and stay Mexican.  They are the only so called immigrants to do this.  Send 'em packing.

Good question!  Probably cause they want to remain citizens of their native country but get the benifits of being American citizens!  But I should stop now before someone calls me racist............. I wonder if I started waving a Soviet flag around on the first if I would get attention too!

You need to go back to what ever country you came from. I don't understand the protesters they carry foreign flags and they want to be considered Americans. If you're holding a flag other than the American flag go back to that country.

The problem appears to be mainly in Europe.  I've seen that special.  Europe has not had a civil rights movement like we've had here in the States.  This is one of the things that separates us from the rest of the world.  We are at least trying to do something about racism.  In Europe it has always been accepted; look at all the "ethnic cleansing" that has, and still goes on.  People in the States just don't know how lucky they are.  Anybody who think that they have it so bad here, should try living outside the US for a few years.  Not just visit, but actually live there.  They will come back to the US and be thankful that their country is trying to make everyone's quality of life better.

My husband is in the military as well. Have you ever noticed that the people protesting are the same people that would never lift a finger to serve anything but themselves? Yet they have the audacity to criticize and question those who do, they should just say thank you, or not. \nThese people wouldn't dream of serving our nation even if it were deemed a "Just Cause" They are talkers, They make me sick. Most wars aren't popular, they suck in general. Thank you for serving.

What unity are you guys talking about.  They leave their country because it sucks so bad and then they wave that flag around here trying to push a campaign for ILLEGAL immigrant rights.  If they hated their own country so much that they needed to cross the border then they don't need to wave the Mexican flag when they want American rights.
