Hometown Flag Controversy...

[markinnaples]

Pete, it comes down to assimilation. I believe it's fine to keep some of your customs and love of your native country of course, but if you come to America, you should want to become part of America, strive to meet your version of the American dream, and be a contributing member of society, and all of that includes learning English. I'm from an immigrant-heavy (including many, many illegal immigrants) who are happy to function in a gray area of America, and that's unacceptable. Register, pay taxes, become part of the Great Experiment. Just my opinion.
