I don't really mind the day workers who work in the US and return at the end of the day to Mexico, and people who really want to be patriotic Americans are also great, but it's those people living in the projects but flying their Mexican flags so proudly and demanding everything in Spanish that irk everyone around here. And by around here I mean mostly Hispanic Americans who also find that repugnant. Mexicans aren't a monolithic group, you do find some who are great people, some who are working temporary jobs in the US who are hard workers and grateful for an opportunity to feed their families but will return to Mexico because it's their homeland. Here we see all types.
do you get upset when you see the confederate flag?
it's the same thing. the people that display it don't have much, and their flag is all they have.
in a neighborhood near me, those who were displaying the mexican flag have started to display the american flag since 9.11.
i see mexicans assimilating daily. it really amazes me.
for example, a young indian woman i met 4 years ago couldn't speak english. she started flipping burgers at carl's jr and cleaning the parking lot. now her english is great, she's an ass't mgr, and her husband's just purchased a brand new ford f150 on credit--helping out YOUR economy.
