"Why don't the illegal immigrants just go home?"

What I don't get is the waving of Mexican flags. If you're a legal immigrant, you've decided that the United States is a place where you and your family have a better opportunity for a better life. If you're an illegal immigrant, then you've risked life and limb to get out of Mexico and into the United States. Neither case would seem to call for the waving of Mexican flags. Not that I don't think people should be able to wave whatever flag they want; it just seems silly to me.

The illegal immigrants will not go home because they're made to feel entitled to cross our supposedly sovereign border whenever they feel like it by our Federal government, reconquistas, and others (some even on FR) who actually support their criminal actions. Make no mistake about it, support for illegal immigrants is support for criminals.

I believe that most of our legal immigrants are proud to be U.S. citizens - after all, they had to wait a long time and have perseverence to become citizens. They had to take the loyalty oath to the U.S. On the other hand, the illegals have no such loyalty and are only here to take from us. I don't think it's in human nature to respect another that allows you to take advantage of them. They may live here, but they probably plan to return to their home country (or re-create it here!).
