View submission: Dallas City Hall Protest and March
Can you not see the irony of waving a national flag to protest not wanting to go back to that nation ?

It is perhaps ironic but if you had any inside knowledge of the minds of immigrants and children of those immigrants (American Citizens) you wouldn't see it as ironic. People here are PROUD to be both American and whatever XYZ they are. It's somewhat of a confusing concept to describe to people who aren't in that situation. Waving the flag of another country or being proud of your 'people's identity' is different from the national pride of the country itself.
Also, practically in protest, are you going to wave a 'please dont deport me america uwu' flag? That's not really a rallying standard for people. It's easier to wave a more easily recognizable flag
