Writer great truth in what u say , an old marine here .... Love it or leave , play by the rules or get out , is my opinion. We r way to soft in this country , we have become a country of entitlement , this country was and should be about work and u will receive ........ Our government does not know what the word illegal means , politicians don't pay taxes , they lie without regard or repercussion . What message r we sending our youth .. Give me something for nothing . I had to work you have to work , why should someone from another country come over our unprotected borders and receive a check .... Long story short , we need a leader that has a clue and does not want us to turn into a give me culture and socialistic communistic. Country..America best wake up real soon ........ Talk to someone who lived in communist Russia. She was there during that period and has said to me this all looks awful familiar .......... America needs a businessman and a real leader , not a bebop bs artist... Food for the thoughtless...... Wake up... Oh the dinar , men and woman r dying every mite , hour, day and month while we r eating Bon bons and crying about when the dinar will happen. Sit back get fat and be patient , oh if u have the time say a prayer for those brave woman and men , you will be maybe rich some day , don't forget to give to those who fought to make u rich, maybe..........Joe c

I am a native american and a U.S. Veteran and after reading this I wanted to add something. America is filled with and was founded by many different people, and all have different cultures. If you go back in history you will find that the only people that were hear were the Native Americans, everyone else came from different countries. There are Asian Indian people, Irish people, Spanish people, Mexican people, Asian people of all types, and more. Each have their own heritage and culture, like holidays. that does not make them less American! I have been in a few other countries and I can tell you that there are people, even in countries friendly to the U.S. that do not like Americans. Hate is everywhere! Even in our own back yard, but telling people that they can't follow their culture is wrong, it happened to the native americans here in the U.S. They had to give up their culture and the children were sent to boarding schools away from home and family so that they could learn english and how to live like the whites. If they refused they were forced! so why should we treat others in that way? Have we not leared from the past?

Somehow we must all learn to meld in a constructive way. That's my hope. :D Thanks for your post.

Thank you for your service to our country.

I don't think anyone has anything against people keeping their culture when they come here. I think the point is that when people come here, they should not impose their culture upon us! The examples given in the post point out that the boy who got expelled was the one who took down the Mexican flag (not the one who raised it) and the students wearing T shirts of American flags on Cinco de Mayo. The 5th of May is the day Mexicans defeated the French at Puebla, Mexico. What does that event have to do with the US and since when is the American flag offensive?

The way our government treated native Americans is shameful and wrong. Native Americans were here first and have every right to maintain their customs. The point of the post is to point out that this is the United States, not Mexico, not Pakistan, not China, etc... Immigrants from those countries can keep their customs, just don't force the rest of us to live by them.
