Why are illegals still protesting with the Flag of Mexico ?Many call for immigration reform during May Day?
Thousands of people held union banners and waved American flags during a peaceful march and rally through downtown Los Angeles Sunday, in a renewed effort to press the Obama administration for immigration reform and call on local businesses to boost workers’ rights.
Holding signs that read "No Arizona. No Wisconsin. We’re California," and "Obama, Don’t Deport Dreamers," marchers in the annual May Day rally aimed their protests toward Congress and President Barack Obama specifically. They accused them of allowing what many called a patchwork of racist laws against the undocumented to sprout up in states and municipalities.
"(Obama’s) not doing anything," said Juan Guerrero, sporting a red, white and blue shirt.
"I voted for him last time, but I’m not voting for him again. Many Latinos won’t vote for him again," said Guerrero, adding he was documented but his brother was not.
Accompanied by his 9-year-old son Angel, Guerrero said many Latinos supported Obama for president because of his forceful views on immigration reform. But so far, Obama has disappointed many.
Last year’s protests were largely fueled by an Arizona measure that gave police expanded powers to question and detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. Twelve months later, many key pieces of the Arizona legislation remain mired in legal limbo, yet other states have tried to enact similar laws.

The illegal aliens have been appeased by all except the conserv GOP, conserv Indies and their allies to the point they feel they can get away w/ throwing this kind of disrespect into the faces of real Americans.
The illegal aliens are trying to balkanize the US; make it like the former Yugoslavia with each splinter ethnic/religious group having its own microstate, hostile to all other groups.
Of course this is why balkanization has such a bad name, and led to the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s, and the splintering of the nation of Yugoslavia into to very small entities, some of which cant survive w/ foreign occupation and aid.

They have no rights since many are not citizens of the U.S. The other thing is the Senate and House of Representatives make,pass or veto laws not Obama.Millions come and refuse to speak English,take jobs,and make our neighborhoods across the U.S. less safe.America embraces immigration the LEGAL way,not illegal.

They do not feel like Americans in their heart, only Mexicans, they do this and so much more because they are a take-over bunch when you think about it…. they think we ‘owe’ them whatever they demand even though they are here illegally. This doesn’t make common sense, of course. They vote by the millions now in any election they want to, they get unemployment benefits now too because "it’s too cumbersome to check every social security number". If you give illegals as much or more than citizens get, illegals will take it and demand more. Several years ago in L.A. they had signs on freeways that had a new name for CA that made clear it was a part of Mexico in so many words, our governor had it taken down.
Excuse me while I wipe my American butt with the Mexican flag.
