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.
You can still remember your roots without waving your flag in everyones face. I live in Orlando, home of the largest Puerto Rican community outside of NYC. And I sometimes go to this heavily Puerto Rican neighborhood that my friend lives in and for years there's been this house with the Puerto Rican flag flying underneath a larger American flag, I don't mind that because it's showing respect for America first. But recently I saw a home with just a PR flag flying. It really pisses me off when I see it, I feel like going there in the middle of the night and stealing it lol. Or maybe leave them a note telling them to fix it.

What about people of European decent hanging Italian, Irish, French, and German flags on their homes? What about Italian owned restaurants were the owners and workers speak Italian? No one ever bats an eye at that. But if it is a Mexican flag people get all up in arms about it. I wonder why?
You can fly whatever flag you want in this country. It's called freedom. If it really bothers you, perhaps it would be wise to focus on something else in your life.
The same goes for Puerto Ricans waving their flags from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, not a country.

You do realize that flying the Puerto Rican flag is no different than a Texan flying the Texas flag on his property? I don't know about you but I find that people waving their state/territorial flag around to me, is a sign that they are big on states' rights and recognize that the states are co-sovereign to the federal government. Waving the Puerto Rican flag around is MUCH MUCH different than waving a foreign flag around, of which the Puerto Rican flag is NOT. We are American citizens too we're not foreigners.
