Right Henry! I agree with you.

Impossible to be certain without more context. What is the text about?

Flying the flag

If someone flies the flag, they represent or support their country. ('Waving the flag' and 'showing the flag' are alternative forms of this idiom)

Hope this helps.

There goes Latin America, all patriotic, and placing conditions on the local elite.

haciendo patria = related to patriotic feeling ... getting all patriotic on us ...

I have hear it used "ese anduvo haciendo patria todo el 15 de septiembre" - "that one was getting all patriotic on us on the 15th of september"

or

"yo estoy sumamente orgulloso de mi pais y si que le voy a hacer patria cuando llegan extranjeros a visitarla."
