Send him back to Mexico with a bill for all the opportunity and training he received while in the USA.

[treetopsandroofs]

Someone had to tell him to do that.

Who are his handlers?

[rovenstinez]

Kind of represents the times we live in, people don’t know if they are MALE/FEMALE..or whether they are American or Mexican, and many oppose greed, but want all of the money that the rich will give them. I know people who aren’t sure about their political party, the box to check for the census, and some don’t know if they are married, living together, or single.

[Iron Munro]

You can't help but be proud of Manzano and the country that allowed him the opportunity to fulfill...

Wanna bet?

He's here illegally - send him home.

[dfwgator]

I’ll still take him over that traitor, Becky Hammon.

[God luvs America]

not the first time....if you go back and look at videos of Marion Jones, the cheater who had her Olympic medals stripped because of doping, she would carry an American flag and flag of the Bahamas when she did her victory laps...

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Both he and his father should be deported immediately if not sooner.

[Red Badger]

One cannot serve two masters..........

[Psycho_Bunny]

“You can’t help but be proud of Manzano...”

I can. I wish the jerk had lost.

Knowing how to be a winner is a critical part of winning: he knew how to get his medal but not how to wear it.

[Uncle Slayton]

The Illegal Alien is using the American Flag as a piece of clothing which is against the US Flag Code!

He must be deported or even sent to prison.

This is an outrage!

[Marathoner 244]

Sorry I rooted for him to win a medal. Never again. Ingrate!

[tumblindice]

Blind ardilla Ruben finally finds an acorn.
Revoke his medal and ship “citizen” Manzano back to Mexico.
We have enough `hyphenated Americans’ as it is.

[DoughtyOne]

You can't help but be proud of Manzano and the country that allowed him the opportunity to fulfill his potential.  CNN

You can't help but be proud of the country that allowed:

His dad to come here and stay here against the laws of our nation
His dad to work under the table to gain income that was shielded from the IRS
His dad to tap government services for himself and his family based at least in part by the lack of reported income
His dad and family to contribute to a massive burden on the health care systems in the United States
Manzano to attend school for free, with tens of millions of other illegal alien children
Manzano to contribute to a massive burden on local education systems
The children of illegal immigrants to flood schools to the point that the construction project in the United States second only to the "Big Dig", was the building of new schools to handle their massive numbers in Los Angeles.
This family to contribute to an overall problem of massive crime perpetrated against U. S. Citizens
    For every illegal alien family that comes here, there is an invisible quotient that goes unaddressed, and that's the sad fact that it quasi-legitmizes all illegals who come
    here, and commit high crimes against U. S. Citizens.

What this kid's dad, he, and his family participated in, was not something to be proud of.

It was wrong on many levels CNN.  Too bad you and the rest of the DNCp are so anti-American.  In this instance, you're actually pro Mexican over the loyal citizens of your own nation.  And you wonder why you are relegated to the ash bin of history, barely able to keep your disgusting anti-American views on the air.

Thank G-d that Saudi woman Sarah Attar didn’t win anything in the 800m, she has Saudi-USA dual citizenship. Wonder what flag she would have carried?

[dragnet2]

Just another reason why I didn't watch a second of the U.N. Olympics.

I'd rather watch reruns of Green Acres than watch skinny idiots like this given a stage for their anti-U.S. agendas.

[publius911]

Send him back to Mexico with a bill for all the opportunity and training he received while in the USA.

These folks aren't capable of suppressing identity politics. Hard to explain. The impression, however is inescapable. I am an immigrant. I actually was older than this person when I arrived in the US, yet, after my 18th birthday, my identity is unequivocally American. My entire adult identity was shaped by the U.S., with all its imperfections.

If this person felt the need to celebrate his Mexican Heritage (which contributed zero to his success and present status) he could have waited until he visited Mexico.

Goes without saying that I certainly expect that his image will appear only on Mexican corn flakes boxes.

I further expect that he will sink into permanent obscurity just like the idiots from the 1968 moron Olympians. Not the brightest representative we are likely to remember on the 2012 U.S. Olympics team.

Why didn't he participate for the Mexican team?

Es verdaderamente un imbecil ingrato!

[allmendream]

Living proof that Mexico doesn’t do very well in the Olympics because everyone there who can run jump or swim is already in the U.S.A.. ;)

[liberalh8ter]

The 27-year-old was born in Mexico, but the United States is his country now. His father migrated here illegally from the city of Dolores Hidalgo. Manzano was brought here when he was 4. Like most immigrants, they came in search of greater opportunity. And they found it -- for themselves, and their children.

You can't help but be proud of Manzano and the country that allowed him the opportunity to fulfill his potential.

[Jay Redhawk]

I don’t know why he is celebrating because he only got the silver medal, which means he is a loser! It used to be that only the winner would celebrate and run around with a flag. It won’t be long and they will be giving out medals to all contestants regardless of what place they finish in.
