And did those Eastern European immigrants ever fly the flags of their former countries while in Cicero? Nope. Why? Because they were proud to be Americans in every sense of the word, and thankful to be out of their former prisons.
The residents (both legal and illegal) who insist on flying Mexican flags are a disgrace to our land, and should exit post haste.
This same crap is occurring in New Haven,CT. on the town green.They have the Mexican flag right below the American flag and on the same pole.
I thought September 15 was Occupation Day, celebrating the day in 1847 when U.S. forces began the occupation of Mexico City.
I think that town is being highly intolerant of our future citizens once Obama or Mccain grants them amnesty. that still might be construed as a hate crime to complain about their flag

He said the flag was taken down shortly after but put up again around Sept. 15 to celebrate El Grito, a holiday honoring Mexico's independence.
Who ever is behind this, needs to be out of a job.
I grew up in Brookfield a small town fairly close to Cicero...my town was mostly people whose heritage was similiar to Cicero....we were proud americans and as each new family immigrated here (especially after WW2)they quickly assimilated and became americans.
Wondered when reading this post on flag in Cicero whether it was just the “older” generation making the protests...I fear that our younger folks have grown up in a “PC” world and will just go along with anything for fear of making someone mad....this is what will end America as we used to know it....watching Obama and his appeal to the college kids almost makes me sick to my stomach as it is to typical of “brainwashing” the young and before they grow old enough to realize what he stands for it could be too late.
I fully expect to see the mexican flag flying here in Ga. at some of our county buildings...that is the day I know we have lost the fight.........
