Why is the Bush-Cheney website displaying the Mexican flag? This page wants to know.
Sure, it's from a TV commercial that apparently makes the point that people from all (Latin American) countries come to America, and that page unfortunately fails to point out that it's from a commercial, but even so...
That page also includes this bit that might be worthy of additional research: "[Bush] needs to direct the State Department to begin proceedings to expel Mexican diplomats from the United States who, by gross interference in state legislative battles, have violated the terms of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations." There's an example of Mexican consuls meddling in our local laws here. Lobbying of state and local officials generated a letter of complaint by several congressmen, but, of course, nothing was done. The worst case is this; if a statement like that had been made during the Eisenhower administration it probably would have been considered a declaration of war.
Also, the first page linked to above directs us to the article in the following post.

This statement of the mexican gov't, and the military incursions from their side of the border, and the continual unauthorized crossings of the border by their nationals, in groups carrying weapons, show that a state of war does exist with that country. Unfortunately our top officials, are traitorously taking the foreign side in this conflict. They get away with it because no one calls them to account for it, or not effectively. The danger of this policy of appeasement is the multiplication and worsening of the attacks. Our government is playing dead on the southern border, or nearly so. If there were no hostile foreigners in the world, this policy would generate them and hurl them towards us.
