I went to San Francisco for May Day and there was a large immigrant rally
at Mission Dolores Park with thousands of Mexican citizens waving Mexican
flags and a smaller number of Marxists, both demanding complete and
unconditional amnesty and immediate U.S. citizenship for every illegal
alien in the country.
It was a lot of fun, even though I just observed and didn't participate
(I got lots of good photos and even some audio). But I wonder if there
are ever any similar rallies in Mexico with thousands of Americans
waving U.S. flags and proclaiming their undocumented status and making
political demands upon the Mexican government.

Nappy:

With the Internet and all, we cannot tell what Third World country you
are posting from. Let me tell you something, though: this, my country,
is the United States of America, and over here we do things in our own
way. The way which has made us the most successful civilization in
history.

You are far from being the first one in the NGs with stupid
suggestions:

- "In Mexico they treat illegal immigrant badly, so the USA should
follow their example"

- "In Venezuela, the government subsidizes the price of gasoline, and
it its the cheapest in the world".

- "The Roman Empire fell when they allowed foreigners in".

- "In <whatever country> they do/don't do <such and such>"

I mean, I have even seen suggestions coming from Nigeria, for crying
out loud.

We don't care about those countries (existent or not)! We are
leaders, not followers. Perhaps in your pathetic little backwards
country, they do things based on the Roman Empire (following their
lead, or avoiding it, that is irrelevant) or using Mexico as a role
model, but we are not sheep, we are Eagles.

So, you can take your suggestions south of the border, where the sun
don't shine. Or, you can start a new, improved Mexico (since you
admire them so much). Just not here, in my country.
