Communist Party is legal because we're in a democracy. As soon as you outlaw Communist parties, you're no longer a democracy. It's tough, but who said democracy was easy?
As for your rant against communism in general. It's not false, but you just have to think of the context of that flag and the image on it to understand they likely don't represent all that is bad with communism. Just like when I raise a US flag, I'm not promoting the hundreds of thousands of Native Americans who were eliminated over 100's of years. Nor am I promoting slavery or the fact that the US has traditionally supported dictators when resources/money was on the line.

We also forget that our (white) families went through the exact same problems and challenges we're seeing today with Mexican immigrants. I know all 4 quarters of my family came over (from 3 different Euro countries, 150-200 years ago) without any papers or ID and were stuck on an island for a while. Eventually they let us in. Just like they let the majority of your families in. A lot of the same challenges were happening then as they have now: Famine in Europe vs. Poverty in Mexico. Why were our families eventually let in? So that we could work in fields, factories and other low paying jobs that nobody else wanted to do. Eventually after we started getting better and better jobs, we added to the tax base, contributed to society and shunned immigrants that came after us. The same mistakes we made back then are happening again. We never learn.
Wake up. Think about where you came from. Think about the struggle your ancestors went through to get here. Then think about how similar your family was to the Mexican immigrants entering today.
