Why are people protesting the United States government with the flags of countries they don't want to go back to?

[Turk]

Every time I see one of the ICE protests I see people proudly waving foreign flags and it's confusing to me because those same people don't want to go back to the countries they're repping. Make it make sense

This isn't about the Mexican flag is it?

 

[mrfortune]

because they are just repping mexicans. they put the flag on everything. its just part of the culture. doesnt mean they dont love america. but outside looking in people dont take it as that. also there lots of other illegals that are not mexican. but most people think every latino is that

They are taunting ICE. They like "Look at this flag, hoe! I dare you to send us back, puto!"

All illegals should be deported. Do your paperwork and come back the right way.

Unchecked immigration is a major problem.

 

[Micky Mikey]

To be fair thousands of people are protesting. A few of them are going to do dumb things like waive Mexican flags, burn cars and loot buildings. When a large mass of people congregate someone is going to do something dumb that isn't good for optics.

It's not about that. The flag represents their heritage.

Cali was a part of Mexico.

It was. There are Mexicans whose families have always been in California. And when California became a state, THOSE Mexicans became American. Now Juan and his cousins from Culiacan wouldn’t have crossed the Rio to come here if he was already here like those people were.

If a immigrant is taking away a job or house from you, you need to look in the mirror and get your shyt together

Yep! It's their form of unity and that they are under attack

 

[Child_Of_God]

It’s not about immigration, those people are simply looking for an excuse to act like fools and heathens. They have literal demons in them.

nah, that's bullshyt. jobs is one thing, but illegals aren't taking up plenty of perfectly fine housing? cost of housing, supply and demand, isnt a problem in this country?
