I think calling this a racial thing is ridiculous. Sure, there may be some racists that don't want Mexicans in our country, but I think the vast majority of the people behind the efforts to close the borders want to do so because it drains our economic system.

Also, I saw today that mexican high schoolers had put a Mexican flag on top of the American flag (they turned the American flag upside down) and anyone who knows about flag etiquette knows that the American flag is supposed to fly higher than any others displayed. What I don't understand is if these illegal immigrants have so much pride for their country, and think America is such a bad place for treating them the way they are, why are they here? If they have so much pride in Mexico, enough to insult America by disgracing it's symbol, why don't they go back home?
