Whats wrong with our flag in our country? It's nice; Red White And Blue with all those stars that previous immigrants died to protect.
Makes you wonder at how committed to becoming good citizens these people are.
The Mexican FLag; good, thats what we need; then we can pledge allegiance to Mexico. And sing the Mexican National Anthem.
Make Bullfighting the National Sport.

For comparison in that town:
I worked with a friend of Mexican decent back in the late 80's in Dodge. His parents had moved in the immigration of the 50's. We once asked him to translate some Spanish words we had heard. He couldn't. He told us that he and his siblings were not allowed to learn or speak Spanish in the home. His parents raised them this way and wanted them to be Americans. Most of the kids there today can't speak English at all and the ones who can don't realize the advantage that they have in their ability to further themselves. But most would rather live 20 people to a home, drive new pickups, and work at the meat packing plant the rest of thier lives. I don't have anything against meat packers (my best friend worked there for 11 years before going to college and getting his BA and MA), but it doesn't seem that any of them strive to do more except open up a dumpy body shop or taco wagon. When the Vietnamese were there before the Mexicans, they came and worked several years, then moved on to bigger, better capitalistic ventures.

People should have pride for thier ancestory, I do (Irish and Scottish). But to move to a different country and not expect to have to assimilate yourself at all is wrong. If I moved to Germany I would be expected to learn and abide by the rules, customs, and language.

Why not go home to Mexico if you are so proud and waving your flag. Why not make Mexico a better place to live in so you don't have to sneak into somewhere else then fly your flag there?

Dodge City ehh? That was supposed to be a wild place back when. In the 50's and 60's.

BTW The language is English.
Learn it or go home.

He says; well they do it.

I say well they live in a house with twenty other guys while their wives and families are home in Mexico. Try working for 5$ an hour up here with your wife and family to support. Try renting an apartment for them; buying a car;sending your kids to school;feeding all of them and do this on 5$ an hour.

They say; well there are no Americans to work these jobs.

I say; offer 15$ an hour and watch them line up.
