To the editor: Our nation was constructed by immigrants who got here right here looking for a greater life. These immigrants labored onerous to assimilate by studying English and flying the American flag. (“Hundreds of L.A. students join immigration protests; buildings vandalized, rocks thrown, LAPD says,” Feb. 4)
What struck me concerning the protests held in downtown Los Angeles and different cities is that most of the individuals have been carrying the flag of Mexico and holding indicators written in Spanish.
The protests would have been rather more efficient had the folks demonstrated their loyalty to the US.

To the editor: I can’t for the lifetime of me perceive why many demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles have been waving Mexican flags as an alternative of American flags when they need immigrants to have the ability to keep in the US.
They need to be in the US, but the allegiance on show was to Mexico. What an incongruity.
My message to the demonstrators: Wave the American flag solely.
