Am I the only one who gets sick of people moving here from other countrys and waving their home flags in our face and we aren't susposed to say anything about it, I can say that if the hispanic population would stop acting like they are still in Mexico and start taking pride in where they are at and wave an American flag or two more people would think that they actually wanted to be a citizen of this country and maybe try and help them become one, The same goes for Puerto Ricans waving their flags from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, not a country, if you've ever been to Miami then you'll know what i'm talking about, I'm not prejudice or anything and have no problem with any race, but when you come to America you show her some respect, it seems like talking about your old girlfriend to your new girlfriend all the time and after a while she gets tried of it, When in America act like you're in America, we don't care what country you came from as long as you are productive and helpful in this country and not a criminal.
What's wrong with waving a state's flag? Every place in America have both the national and state flag. Puerto Rico is not quite a state but close. Don't be so uptight!
If Puerto Ricans want to fly their flag, great for them, hell we stole their country.
We weren't stolen, we were handed over. Big difference. And we were never a country. We were a colony of Spain since 1492 till 1898. The US has given us more opportunity and more rights and a right to self-determination than Spain has ever given us in 400 years. We CHOSE to remain part of the US in the last several plebiscites so you can't hardly call that oppression.
It absolutely blows my mind that the same group of people who claim to be "THE" patriots and fighters for less government and more individual autonomy in this country, are always the ones who want to take freedoms away from people. What's up with that, anyway?
I think waiving a flag has a lot to do with the person wanting to represent their country or state. They are proud of where they are from. Nothing wrong with being proud....right?
Or it could even represent them missing their home. The flag is a symbol..... a positive symbol for them.
Same goes for Mexicans in the Southwest, which by any standard of morality known to civilized men ought to belong to the Mexicans in the first place. (I'd be laughing my ass off if they took over the Southwest and started deporting the 'illegal' whites.)
Excuse me but when the U.S were given those territories in war the population of the entire area was only 50,000 - the majority of those were Spanish Whites.
The majority of Mexicans flooding into the U.S come from poor indigenous areas of Mexico with no claim to anything remotely resembling the territories the U.S gained after the war with Mexico. To claim so shows a complete historical ignorance on your part.

I've felt the same way about clowns who fly the Confederate Flag for years.

I have a feeling someone didn't know PR was part of the US
