I am only 59, but was born and raised in the great central valleys of Northern California. There were always Mexicans there - way before my ancestors moved there - as well as Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and the like while I was growing up there. My mother's side of the family were Scots who came in through Nova Scotia and settled in California before statehood when it was a Republic of Mexico. They're all long dead but - according to their journals - there were lots of Mexicans around the area. I don't know how old you are - but you claim to live in California and I don't think you're several hundreds of years old - which is what you would have to be to have truthfully made such a statement.
My father came to California from Texas when he was five. My great-great grandfather settled in Texas when it, too, was a Republic and there were many more Mexicans there at that time than others coming to settle the area. Still are a lot of Mexicans here in Texas - most are citizens, some are not.

The author is simply saying, don't come here and fly a mexican flag or celebrate some come-fuk-me-non-American holiday, or we may need to get the bat out and chase your behind back to the old country.

My ancestors were all Scots, and my father's side of the family migrated to America in 1650 through Middle Plantation, MD. I fly the Flag of St. Andrew and celebrate Guy Fawkes Day (a non-American holiday of a hero to non-Brits for attempting to blow up the Protestant Parliament in 1605) - and would invite any who are feeling the need to test their mortality to go ahead and
get the bat out and come try and
chase me and my family's
behind(s) back to the old country.
And that's all this author is simply saying.
