Are you serious? no really. you didn't think before you wrote this question. Men and women died for that song..... DIED! The same way they died for our flag and this country. It is a total disgrace to change our national anethem for people that are not citzens and don't speak the language. . I believe most people that were running onto beaches into certain death during WWII would agree. To me if you can't speak english you are not a citzen

HELL NO!!! You can think Iam a racist biggot if you want..I don't care. Do you think I could move to Mexico City and DEMAND ANYTHING?? Much less demand RIGHTS?  Of course not!!! Especially when someone is here Illegally how many rights are they actually entitled to? NONE!! Iam sick and Fuck*ing tired of going to the grocery store and picking up a box of something and having to turn it over 2 or 3 times to find where it's written in english. DO they have half the Shi*t written in english on there products in mexico?? Hell No Would they start printing every thing in english to accomodate me or anyone else english speaking? HELL NO! SOme (not all) don't pay taxes cause they work for cash. And to top it all off some Beaner re-wrote the national anthem in SPANISH so some Illegal wet-backs can sing it in spanish. They breed like rabbits, Let their kids run around in the stores like goons, can't speak the language, and drive around with no car insurance and stolen social security numbers  and I know what iam talking about I live in Texas BEANER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.....F*UCK EM' They need to go home.  As far as the flag waving goes the bastards don't deserve to carry the american one. And need to go home to mexico if they are gonna carry their flag...

I definitley think we should take strong action to stop this from happening. It won't be too long and we'll be the minority. It's like the US is just saying, hey come here and take our country from us. While your at it, fly only mexican flags and speak only spanish, so us americans will have to learn it. It's such a sensitive subject, but I hear so many mexicans saying they're not being treated fairly or equally, well no kidding, more than half of them are illegal. If they love mexico soo much, then go back!!!! Besides it makes me really uncomfortable when a group of mexican guys stare at my friends and i and talk amongst themselves. what the h e l l are they saying?

To start with - \n*half the crowd where?\n*which "activist" are you referring to?\n*who's gullibility are we talking about?\n\nAn added note:  speaking Spanish does not make you Spanish, but it brings parts of the world a bit closer together -- people from Mexico are not Spanish.

Actually, I think you have the question wrong.  This came up in the context of illegal immigrants when people asked why people cared about them.  I for one don't care what people speak to their friends or at home, but I do care when students coming into school don't speak English. Bilingual education is very expensive and means that a lot of courses we had in school when I was a kid are no longer available.  Further, the entire class has to go slower when they have to wait for the teacher to teach students English before teaching the subject matter.\n\nIt is true that the issue would exist legitimately for immigrants who are here legally, but in areas where illegal immigrants concentrate, their presence makes the situation much worse.\n\nSchools in border states are a big issue.\n\nFor that reason I think people should learn English if they are given a path to citizenship.  They came in above the number we felt could be assimilated easily, and I think it is fair to ask them to put forth a special effort.  It is better for their kids's education too.  However, I freely admit that I am more concerned with the quality of my own kids's education.\n\nSome people had problems with Spanish being spoken in businesses, but I don't.  I think that is Capitalism at work, just as the resorts in Mexico all speak English.

I don't like it either, it's going too far. I guess a lot of people really doesn't know anything about this immigration issue. It's pretty obvious that the protesters have a one track mind. Instead of gaining support from immigrants from other countries, creating a bilingual anthem which consists of spanish/english version seems to be selfish. This is one of the reasons why a lot of americans get angry at mexicans and this could be one of the reasons why the bystanders who were willing to support the latinos before might feel it offensive and withdraw their support. I thought the rally was supposed to be for immigrants, now I feel it's only for Latin immigrants. \n\nAsk immigrants from other countries, there are certain rights this country has granted to Mexicans that were not granted to them. Really, the law here is kind of discriminatory, and they don't complain. If this immigration issue is to be a success for the protesters they need to understand that the focus shouldn't only be on Latinos, or it shouldn't be between Latinos and America BUT Immigrants seeking their rights.\n\nI for one hope they get their papers, but I have to say there should be rules. A lot of immigrants came here legally and paid thousands of dollars to earn the right to be legal immigrants. They also sacrificed a lot working for their families too. \n\nI believe these people shouldn't change the Anthem, it's an insult to the country, and an insult to those people who came here and worked hard to earn the right to be called Americans the legal way.

Darling.......who cares what is on that roll use it.\n\nJust by this question we are well aware that you think the Mexican flag and its heritage are important.  If you didn't why would you ask this question.\n\nI love people who aren't afraid to say that!......Product...smocdhuct.....                 you knew it would be sacrilege to wipe your butt with an ACTUAL flag....and since you were so worried about the repercussions you asked THIS question about a fake flag.  I love that.\n\nWipe away.......we all know you wouldn't do that to ANY country's REAL flag and salute you for caring SO much about the Mexican flag.

I don't care if they want to celebrate it. I just don't understand why public schools celebrate it. My children are Anglo Americans, and they get upset because they are being forced to celebrate something that means nothing to them, or their country. However keep in mind that my children are the 2% of Anglos at their school. 50% of the rest don not speak English...it's just like them flying the Mexican Flag over our City Hall.

Probably but to be honest,who cares? The important thing to know is that Argentina moves on and Mexico is going home. Everything else is meaningless.

Yes, of course they should.  I used to live by a big river where people like to camp, and last 4th of July there was a big group of Mexicans having a celebration, but they were displaying Mexican flags, not US flags.  I think that the ones waving their Mexican flags just don't give a damn about our country or our culture, or they only care about what they can get from it. \nIf I were to move to another country for a better life, then I would respect that country and wave their flag in appreciation.  If I wanted to wave my own flag, I would do it in my home.  I would also not expect that country to provide for my welfare or my children's welfare.\nIf Mexican illegal immigrants love their country so much, then they should join forces and revolt against their government.  Castro did it..

i don't care what anybody thinks. this is MY country today , tomorrow, and forever. i will NOT have a country that i can love if we let every JOSE(yes i said JOSE) and his brother come over here to live off of the system. to bad if i step on your feet. i am an American citizen and all i am asking for is the right to be free from the people that do not respect MY country. how can they say they respect America if they hang the mexican flag and sing in spanish. respect is a two way street. you need to give some in order to receive some. as far as i can see, we are giving way more than we are getting in return. KEEP THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OUT AND THEN THERE WILL BE A FUTURE FOR MY CHILDREN, AMERICAN CITIZENS.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn or flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

Because there are not a million mexicans trying to come across from canada illegally every week, use our health care, schools, social services, sing the anthem in spanish and THEN go out in the street and DEMAND to be US citizens after they came here ILLEGALLY. That's why...

I don't think its right, because then the Italians, the French, Chinese and others would want to sing it in their own languages.\nIve got nothing against Latins, I'm Puertorican and I speak Spanish. and this got nothing to do with Mexicans cuz in the US there are a lot of Spanish speaking people who are not necessarily from Mexico.
