| Why the Mexican Flag? |
|
Advertisements [?]
I am sure there were many threads about this. Even for those of us who sympathize with the plight of immigrants - legal and illegal - seeing the tens of thousands protesters waving the Mexican flag raise questions.
Why? What message are they sending? If they want to live in this country, why wave the Mexican (or any other flag for that matter)? This is not Cinco de Mayo, or Columbus Day or St. Patrick Day parades where the Mexican, the Italian and the Irish flags are waved in honor of these countries. Why wave the flag of a foreign nation while protesting the immigration laws of this country? Please don't flame, just explain. Thanks.  |
