I do not oppose people celebrating, but for a while, it looked like our local news was in downtown Tijuana.
A large crowd of Mexican revelers celebrating Mexico win in the FIFA Cup games today, became a near riot! Let me count the number of ways this group of revelers offended me, an American:
1) The cost us, the tax-payers valuable money and resources to break up their illegal assembly;
2) They not only carried a ton of Mexican flags down an American street, in an American city, they waved them and chanted and screamed their love for Mexico!
3) This culture is not assimilating into the culture of their host country, and that is something they need to do.
4) By carrying Mexican flags, screaming, shouting and singing "Viva la Mexico!" they show disrespect for all Americans.
This is not their fault though. It is the government of America's fault. If they were enforcing immigration laws, and requiring people to assimilate and learn the language and follow ALL laws [instead of making loopholes around every law to accommodate them], we'd have legal immigrants who love the land of their heritage, but respect the land they have immigrated to!
If the Confederate flag is frowned upon in most parts of this country, why should Hispanics be allowed to wave and fly the flag of Mexico?
