[question everything]

cannot see the difference.

It is one thing to wave a flag in solidarity with another country - as so many waved the stars and stripes after 9/11, even in Tehran, according to the movie "why we fight."

And, of course, many waved the Mexican flag during the world cup (that's soccer match) when one of the team was from Mexico.

Similarly, as I said in my very first post - we wave other flags when we celebrate holidays that originate in Mexican, Italian, Greek or Japanese tradition.

Also, we have had refugees waving the flags of their home states dominated by dictators, expressing their hopes for democracy and to come home.

But in this case you have people who want to be citizens of this country, or who already are, who want to, supposedly, pledge allegiance to the stars and stripes but instead are waving foreign flags and they think that this is a way to influence voters and their representatives in Congress now debating immigration reforms?
