Correct Me if I'm Wrong

Does anyone else think that this immigration reform deal has gotten out of hand? My daughter came home from school on Friday and said that the school said Monday would be "Mexican Monday" and that Hispanic students would not have to attend school. Busineses are shut down. People are protesting America's laws. If they don't like the laws, then why are they here? I am all for immigration and people getting a better chance at life. But there are channels to go through to do that legally. My great grandmother came here from Sweden. Legally. I know if we all trace our roots, we all came from immigrants. But illegal is, well, illegal. Laws are laws. If they disliked Mexico so much, then why are they flying the Mexican flag? Shouldn't they be flying the American flag? I guess I just don't get what gives illegal immigrants the right to protest the laws, when they are not citizens.
Oh, and teen #2 has decided that Thursday will be declared "Caucasion Thursday".
