Larry, your comparison of Italian, Irish, et al flags displayed to those Mexican flags recently displayed during the illegal alien protests is disingenuous. Ask any of those Italian or Irish flag wavers where their identities and loyalties lie and they will in all cases say that they are Americans first and foremost. Having pride in ones heritage and being a proud American are not mutually exclusive. However, the Mexicans we’re discussing here have their loyalties in Mexico and consider themselves Mexicans, not Americans. This is much more than ethnic pride. If you want to be Mexican…you know the way home.
