if that is true, that's 17% that should be mooching off their own country. isn't it estimated there's over 10 million illegals who pay no taxes, kill americans, and put american contractors out of work? if you're implying whites are a bigger burden to this country than hispanics you're wrong. not that we should accept uk riff raff but even that's better than the ms-13 we have here in nova. they don't even respect this country. i go to school with them, they don't stand for the pledge and they wave their flag in our faces yet if i waved a u.s. flag in their face god help me.

I am not implying whites are a bigger burden. Just get your facts right. Do you know why no one has to stand for the pledge? The United States Supreme Court said we don't due to the First Amendment (the government cannot compel free speech). It wasn't an immigrant who brought the lawsuit, it was a white West Virginia Protestant.

i don't care who it was who brought the lawsuit. that guy is a dbag. and i don't care if you "don't have to." any self respecting american would stand up regardless. talk to me about getting my facts right, it seems my facts are right considering my facts come from observation. but at least i can garner up the balls to stand for a 10 friggin second pledge to the country these immigrant morons voluntarily came to.

I know you don't care who brought the lawsuit, but one day you might. This might speak to your inexperience as a high school student.

Being an American means we have the right to choose whether or not we salute the flag or say the Pledge. I always stand for the Pledge when it is recited. But being an American means we don't have to. If you want the government to tell you what to do and force you to do it, move to Saudi Arabia.

i do believe in freedom, however if they don't respect what my ancestors fought for then they don't deserve to be here. you can be free to live your life, choose a career, go to school, and follow whatever religion you want. but disrespecting my ancestors and me, i'm joining the military, shouldn't be tolerated. if you're not decent enough to stand for the pledge, then don't immigrate here and use what my ancestors died for. you're giving them the right to be disrespectful by doing that, and the right to be disrespectful infringes on the rights of those whom they're disrespecting. why should i have to sit and watch some jamoke from guatemala immigrate here on my ancestors blood and sweat only to disrespect them in return? they can be "free" not to stand but the fact that they don't proves that they're unworthy disrespectful moochers and that is why i hate them.

St Louis County and City really need to merge. It's really unfair to that city to always be so high on these crime list. It's so misleading.

Now you are contradicting yourself. You are saying those people shouldn't have the right to ignore our Pledge, but you should have the right to ignore them, but can't, and that infringes on your respect?

You can simply ignore them. It does not infringe on any of your rights.

Isn't "Land of the Free" the first portion of our motto?

i'm saying they shouldn't have the right to immigrate here and disrespect our country. by immigrating here, they're guests. they're disrespectful guests first off. second off they have to pledge allegiance to the united states for citizenship. the friggin mexican flag they wave so proudly while they BURN the american flag on our streets should be ripped out of their hands and burnt in front of their face by police. and this crap they do by not standing up for the pledge isn't them exercising their "freedom," it's them and their lack of respect for this country and the allegiance they have for their former country that obviously sucked so much they had to come to ours. here's the oath for citizenship, which shouldn't be suspended at any time.

"I hereby declare, on oath,
  • that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
  • that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
  • that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
  • that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law;
  • that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law;
  • that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law;
  • and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
In acknowledgement whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature."

yet this is how they respect my ancestors? they immigrate here for the freedom & opportunity my ancestors died for, and this is how they behave? they're scum and nothing more.

Obviously you fail to include the back story to this. The people waving the flags were White Supremacists who started with the Mexicans saying they should leave the country.

You fail to watch the whole video where white supremacists were screaming at them to go home without provocation.
