See here's the problem. You assume because people wave American flags because they are "proud" of being from America means that everyone is having a flag of another country means they are born in that country? I have an Ireland flag because part of my heritage is Irish, but I'm not FROM that country. I'm proud of my HERITAGE being from the place that the flag represents. If their heritage is predominantly Mexican, they SHOULD be proud of that! These people may not have much American heritage to be proud of. 1 or 2 generations is nothing compared to dozens or hundreds in another country.
Tldr: The issue is with the way you perceive the MEANING of them waving the flag of their heritage, not with them actually waving it. Your bias that your own perspective can be the only correct one is the problem

Did you say they may not have much American heritage to be proud of?
