Why do Anti-immigration advocates only have problem with Mexicans waving the Mexican flag in the USA?

But never mention anything about people flying other countries flags like in Time Square's rallies over the fighting in Gaza? Then they get mad when you call them a racist? Why is that?

Large group protests flotilla attack in New York

Update:

I've noticed question on here almost on a daily basis were they bash Mexicans with their flags, but never attack any other group.

Update 2:

CountyGal, again! brown skin does not mean illegal. Why do you constantly bash on brown folks?

    First off true American Nationalists don't just dispise mexicans, true ones will dispise any forigener, secondly Racist is not the correct term its more of Ethno-centrism, the diffrence is that racism is one group is better then another, and Ethno-centrism is that our group is better then everyone else.

    a extra helpful question for me is: Why do Mexicans, unlawful and legal, wave their u . s .'s flag in the united states? that is a slap in the face of this u . s .. For the illegals, in case you prefer to be a area of this u . s . so undesirable why do no longer you tutor some American help and wave the yank flag?! For the legal Mexicans, why do no longer you tutor some help on your u . s .?! once you're residing in the US and are a legal US citizen would not that make you an American? So wave the yank flag! the yank flag isn't a white guy or woman's flag or a Christian flag. that's the flag of the folk of usa of america - white, brown, black, crimson, and yellow. do no longer problem. you does no longer be denouncing your history in case you confirmed a splash American delight with the crimson, white, and blue.

    The United States is flooded by thousands of illegal mexicans every year. The patrolling of our southern border is a huge tax payer expense! There is a huge drug war happening every day in many border towns resulting in death, destruction, and wasted resources. Any illegal migration results in a now desperate work force taking any job at any price as long as there are no questions asked. This obviously impacts local economies as legal taxpaying citizens cannot compete with "under the table" wages. So, as costs to keep them out increase, the number of people footing the bill decreases. This in my own opinion is why many mexicans are cast in a less than friendly light. I think many Americans are tired of paying to fill up the cookie jar only to see it emptied again by people not contributing to the cost. Our jails are filling with no skill no hope mexican gang bangers. I know there are good mexicans but that is not the image we see every day. If you want to be respected and treated well, it must be earned. If you viewed mexicans through the eyes of an everyday american, what would you see honestly? I hope things change. Time will tell.

    Are you talking just about flags at demonstrations ?

    Maybe because it was for protesting a war in another country, not immigration.

    When Mexicans are protesting with Mexican flags, it is about immigration 9 times out of 10, it is like a slap in the face. They want to stay here yet throw the Mexican flag around, thats just like saying Fu** America. They are so proud of being Mexican, yet they flee the country they are so "proud" of.

    And 9 times out of 10 in the USA you will see a Mexican flag hanging out a car window, house window, business and Mexican flag stickers ect... Not any other countries flag.

    Because a Turkish flag over Time Square means 'we support you, Turkey.' While a Mexican flag over Pershing Square means something entirely different. The US isn't paying the bills for millions of illegal Turks who claim half our territory was stolen from them and I've never had a Turk tell me to go back to Europe. It's also a frequency thing. When you see it every other day it just gets old.

    When a foreign flag is flown in OUR COUNTRY by someone that is in our country ILLEGALLY...DEMANDING "RIGHTS" they are not entitled to because they are in our country ILLEGALLY...meanwhile dragging OUR flag on the ground, stepping on it, or burning it...

    The question is why don't YOU have a problem with that!!!!

    Does that not bother you in the least??

    If you have no pride in this country or OUR flag, you are no better than they are!!!

    And don't tell me you have never seen these videos. If you haven't, they are ALL over the Internet!!!!

    I mention Korea last year ago, and mention Philippines more than once. It's probably because you are concentrating on one culture yourself when you look.

    Edit, When I mention Koreans flying their flag, I get Racist and hateful statements from those who are sympathetic to illegal immigrants.
