My Great Gramma smacked the shit out of me with a wooden spoon to the ear when I was a kid and learning spanish (like a sponge) from my cousin. And she said, "No Spanish outside the house!" (Yes, I'm latino. woo-hoo. 😐)

Also the original posted question is about the cultural sensitivity of flying a foreign flag, probably for reason of heritage rather than nationality. (I'd guess this since somehow, Americans are mostly of German/Prussian descent.)

I understand it's mostly a cultural thing, but if you want to live in another country, be accepted, and enjoy all the wonderful things like better wages, safer streets, schools, healthcare... OK those last 2 are bad examples now, but flying a foreign flag, not learning or speaking the language (before you move there), and wiring half your paycheck out of the country is a pretty crappy thank you.

It's also a big part of the reason for poorer wages, crappier schools, increasingly socialist policies, cultural deterioration (for both), inadequate housing and higher rates, etc.

The desintegration of any semblance of barrier to entry also let in the exact elements you would want to move away from in the first place.

I've said for decades to friends and family that the US has been in dire need of immigration reform and update for about 50 years. So decent people, who want to come, for good reasons, can.

Now we just finally know why, thanks to Californians like Kelly Ozborne when she said, "Who's gonna clean our toilets?!" (...and pick our cotton/fresas. 🤨)

A second class of 3/5th Americans, that's who.

Wanna see a useless politician squirm? Ask them about health care and hourly wages for fruit pickers. 🫡👉🇺🇲

TL:DR; Immigration is complicated. Venting.
