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

To the editor: I can not 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 USA.
They wish to be in the USA, but the allegiance on show was to Mexico. What an incongruity.
My message to the demonstrators: Wave the American flag solely.
