Oh, they never said it with words. They never said it as they "proudly" waved their nations' flags. No, they said it by their very presence on foreign soil, seeking all the advantages that a legal presence on tht soil brings. If their homelands were so full of the promise and hope that America holds out, why would they leave?
Isn't that the reason for most, if not all, immigration--the promise of something better?

Yes it was for both sets of my grandparents who came here for the better life. But they came legally. Like everyone who wants to come here should. If these Mexicans have the conjones to boycott and rally in American I suggest they go back home with the flag they love to wave here and fix things in their own country. We can not afford them. Our prisons are filled with illegals who deal drugs, are in violent gangs (gangs who support terrorists I may remind you like MS-13) rapists murders and so on. We have had schools and hospitals that have had to shut down. Sorry I have no feelings for people who knowingly break the law by coming here illegally. If they have no respect for our laws now do you think they will obey them later? Some of these Mexicans want us out of border states claiming we stole them. And who did they steal them from? Sure we need people like this coming here to cause trouble. I am sure there are many fine Mexicans who would be great Americans but they need to come here the right way. We need to secure the border ASAP. Oh yes, lets not forget about the idenity fraud that Mexicans are doing. One childs SS# was used hundreds of times. We need congress and our Pres to think carefully about what the American people want. And what is in the best interests of America. I will be damned if Mexicans will bully us. What about the other people who are trying to get here legally ? What does that show them about us? That a bunch of boycotts and rallies will force us to give them amnesty? This isnt what my father and uncles fought for. I am really disgusted with what I am seeing. Build the wall, deport and then lets screen anyone who wants to come in. Some homeland security we have.
They don't want what is here, they want it to be just like the country they left, but with more money and jobs.
If politics is the art of compromise, what's wrong with arresting and deporting any illegals who were waving Mexican flags? They were obviously coached to wave more American flags, but just couldn't let it go.
It's a good start and they must be `home-sick'. Also, this was May 1st, not Cinco de Mayo, and this is America, not Mexico.
Maybe they should put all that energy into changing their own fortunes/government and life in their native country.
