Send their asses back to where they can worship and sing of the country that they love, and it ain't the USA, baby.

Wow ...

Did he mentioned the ages?
As I think you know, I know many Mexicans personally.
There are two VERY different types.
The majority of Mexicans love America, and appreciate everything we do for them. Indeed it is the dream of many a Mexican teenager to attend an American university - and those that do and return to Mexico are looked up to in the way we look at movie stars.
Then there are the ones that typically live closer to the border, they want to live in America to enjoy the benefits - but hate America at the same time - all out of jealousy and misinformation they get from their media.

maybe they didn't know the words?

Even I do not sing God Bless America, nor do I pledge allegiance

I expected nothing different.

What a great citizen! Can I assume that if you were called to defend your country you'd run away or just hide?

Tomorrow, I will try not to think about the brave American men who died to save people who have no love for their country........no matter, most of us do.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt

Of course all that has gone down the shitter, traded for a disease that afflicts the spine, called politcal correctness.

Nobody I know wants to play nationalism B.S. either. It's a con game put out to save the rich and slaughter the poor in wars.

I didn't really read any "love" in your OP. Just asinine hatred of people who aren't marching along in your parade the way you think they should.

Seriously, it doesn't sound like you have slightest clue what makes America worth fighting for in the first place.

It's called 'freedom', and it's what America is all about.

Not surprised that has to be explained to you.

Unless I have the music in front of me, I only know 4 lines of God Bless America. Singing just doesn't come up that much in my life, and the way I sing, you wouldn't really want it to anyway.
