What do you think about US Mexicans flying the Mexican flag from their vehicles? ?

Seems to pretty much seal their allegiance to another country. Today I witnessed someone flying two Mexican flags from their brand new SUV. Hmmm, I wonder if they'd be driving that SUV if they still lived in the country that they have blind allegiance to.

I have no problem with someone flying a Mexican flag, next to, or occompanied by an American flag...but what I was witness to today was a shame.

We Americans have our own flag, thanks.

What do you think about immigrants who come to this country, and have no respect or allegiance to old glory?

BTW.. I Said immigrants, NOT Mexicans, i would like to believe that most Mexicans are not like this.

    I see your point Nic... I love Mexico but I am in the U. S. because this country provides opportunities for me and my family; so, to a certain degree I could say that I have some allegiance to it. I have blind allegiance to my native country because I am proud of its history, hard working people, among other things. However, I also respect this country, and I cannot understand why someone would have two flags of their native country. To get attention maybe... or maybe to display how hard they have worked.

    Whether this person could have been driving such car in his/her country or not, I believe that people should have allegiance to their country not to the people that corrupts it, and therefore limits how much the citizens from such country can acomplish there.

    it's funny how that Kat M person says that we do not need illegal immigrants in this country however this country was created on illegal immigration by traitors who didnt respect laws (stop me when I'm wrong!!) From what I remember Native Americans controlled this here united states that you now believe you have claim to. It is soooo sad that people are so proud to display their ignorance.

    I suggest learn about having pride in your own heritage try learning about your history and be proud of it because only then will you be able to understand what so many other cultures have.

    As for the flag as long as you show respect for eveyone else's flag do what ever makes you happy.

    Why don't you take a drive into NY or L.A.'s China Towns, Little Italy and the Puerto Rican neighborhoods in Florida? People fly their flags as a pride in their heritage, not in disrespect towards America. Look around and you'll see flags and especially flag stickers (Canadian flag stickers) all over the place, it's not just the Mexican flag. But it seems that it's the focal point lately. You should really get out and learn different cultures and beliefs. Living in the US you don't have to leave your state to do that, and that's what's great about it.

    I'm working in a hotel in the UK where we at the moment have 60 Americans staying. There are five American flags hanging out of the hotel windows.

    I don't see anything wrong with it. It's great that people are proud of their heritage and it doesn't matter what country they are in. An American in the UK is still an American, and a Mexican in the US is still a Mexican.

    I suppose it depends on where you are in the USA. If you're in somewhere like Texas or Utah or California etc, ie one of the states annexed by the USA after the Mexican-American War, it's kind of understandable if one of the flag flying Mexicans living there is descended from people who were already in that area before it was annexed. It's not so different from Scots or Welsh people flying their flag instead of the Union Jack when you think about it.

    I think they need to go back to mexico.

    Yolanda:it's funny how that Kat M person says that we do not need illegal immigrants in this country however this country was created on illegal immigration by traitors who didnt respect laws (stop me when I'm wrong!!) From what I remember Native Americans controlled this here united states that you now believe you have claim to. It is soooo sad that people are so proud to display their ignorance.

    Dear Yolanda,let me stop you since you're wrong and I'll clear up your ignorance....There were no laws nor ownership of this country when the Europeans came,therefore, they did not do so illegally. By the way, the very word America is a European one as the country was named after a European. It's soooo sad to see that our educational system is so sadly lacking on teaching history.

    Oh and by the way, that Kat person you just attacked is Native American.

    I think having pride for the country you are from is ok. I don't think it is ok for illegal aliens to protest immigration law and burn the US flag in the US. These people are here to make money and send it home to there homeland. When they retire they usually go back to there homeland taking the money they made here with them. This is one of the reasons there is immigration policy. The problem is no one seems to want to enforce it.Illegal aliens broke the law to come to this country and should have there rights taken away from them just like any other law breaker.

    No its no longer good. i does no longer carry my breath on the ACLU doing something even nonetheless this feels like a civil rights violation. They %. and choose what they think of would be media friendly and a white guy with a accomplice flag fired possibly does not meet their standards.

    Immigrants are NOT US Citizen. They still have their original country citizenship and passport. They don't have to fly the US Flags, if they choose not to. And they can fly their country flags, if they choose to.

    US Constitution allows everyone for the freedom of speech and expression. That's my opinion.

    Pretty much , the difference between us and the UK culturally is we don't believe in this multi culturalism crap. Sure, we invite people in of many cultures, but your an American FIRST. your entitled to observe your holidays, your religion, your traditions, etc....but the golden rule of persuing Life, Liberty and Happiness stops when it interfere's with someone elses right.

    The day America gives up this ethic the founding fathers instilled for us to carry on, It won't be America anymore, and i'll just have to move to another country because these observations our ancestors made is what made us a different nation and better off.
