abstract:The flag of Mexico () is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red with the national coat of arms charged in the center of the white stripe. While the meaning of the colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by Mexico following independence from Spain during the country's War of Independence, and subsequent First Mexican Empire.
The Congress has received lots of free advice lately from Mexican government officials and illegal aliens waving Mexico 's flag in mass demonstrations coast-to-coast.
