i feel sad for my childern for they will not know the country that i grew up in.it will be a shadow of what it was before 1990 after that are country began to change i fear that we may not be able to stop the end of the american that i knew.I am of mexican decent,but pure born AMERICAN.before immigrants became american know they want america to be the country they left.they want to follow their customs and make america change are customs because they do not like them,but we have to allow their customs if not we are racist.God help  us.they can not defeat us militarly but they will with political correctness.

To the guy above me.\n\nThat isn't our fault. Mexico needs to fix itself not just send its people to USA illegaly. I do feel sorry for them but I also don't want something like 9-11 to happen again.

I myself do not feel anyone should leave America for their free speech, but when they bash America so much and so hard it seems they don't want to be here. It all just hurts so much!!

The U.S.A! would not survive without Mexicans. The reason for that is we do all the jobs that other people don't want to do, such as cleaning buildings where you live, work and enjoy yourself. As for the statement " as if we had any problems taking care of ourselves before they got here " WE WERE HERE FIRST!!!! The white people ( I say white because white people don't even know there own heritage, or where they come from, or whats in there blood )\nThat's sad,to not know where you come from. To be honest, when I was younger, I didn't really embrace my culture, the reason for this was because I was so brainwashed. Now, being 23 years old, I'm so happy that I can speak two languages perfectly, and that I can go to another country and feel right at home, just like here in the U.S.A. I feel bad mentioning WHITE people in here, but to be honest, They're the leaders in racism, and unfortunately they're the leaders of the United States. That's sad...Isn't this supposed to be the land of opportunity and the land of many different colors."This land is my land, this land is your land, from sea to shining sea " And oh yea, if we were to leave, it would be so funny to see all of you doing the jobs Mexicans were doing just fine!

Good Lord! Another "attack" on Americans! If we are as awful as these people seem to think, than why do so many people want to immigrate here? People from other countries need to realize that they don't KNOW what Americans are like, they just hear media propaganda as to what we are really like. It is ignorant to believe everything you hear or read. Not everything is 100% truthful. It is also ignorant to assume that you know exactly what Americans or any other foreign person is like. My entire family has raised their children to treat ALL people with respect until they do something to lose that respect. I have always treated my parents with respect, and my parents treated their parents with respect etc. All the children in my family treat their parents with respect. I don't know where you got your ridiculous information from, but not ALL American kids treat their parents with disrespect. I am sure not ALL Muslim kids treat their parents with respect either. \n\nk.m.

well... they messed themselves up. you cant report someone for feeling that way... lol. isnt this freedom of speech? especially on the internet??\n\nYou can't logically and honestly tell me that flying Mexican flags saying we demand you to make us citizens of your country... for being illegal... is the best way to go about bringing changes. RIIIGHHT. Mexicans are hard workers, yes they are. Grown and raised in California, I've grown up/am friends with a lot of Hispanics, but do it the right way... legal immigration.\n\nAnother thing... they (Hispanics) talk about how great their homeland is and how America sucks... wonder why none of them go back there? Show AMERICAN pride, not [insert country here] pride. That's what we had to do when we came over on ships... it's called assimilation.\n\nAnd do you honestly think they pay taxes? Please. They're undocumented. They do not pay taxes. You are crazy for thinking that. Then they send our money to banks out of country. Think what you want, but I would say they have screwed up by doing this right now. There is no basis. You're ILLEGAL... not LEGAL. NO as opposed to YES.

1st let me say that you, annoyed American are the most clear thinking person I have had the pleasure to read since I've got on to this website.  keep up the good work, I'm glad your out there. And yes there had better be a backlash by any and all Americans who would like their towns, cities and country back.  The quality of life has been taken away by the only nationality that has come into the US hating, disrespecting America.  I am tired of having the children  of these 'hard working' ILLEGALS  who have joined gangs stare down my family in my home town with violent, hateful looks every day.  My children are constantly harassed in school by the children of these people. Our parks are now littered with diapers and trash. Our streets are strewn with old mattresses and trash.  I want my town back!!!This is not the country I grew up in any longer.

I agree!!! Make them bastards go back home.  Really, I don't give a damn if you are a citizen or not.  I have two simple rules.  Number one, If your ancestors didn't die for this country to make it what it used to be before Bush got his ass in office, you're out!  Second, If your ass is over here and you ain't paying taxes like the rest of us, but you still expect the government to cloth, feed, and shelter your little hellions, your ass is out!  If your ass ain't American your ass is out of the fucking country!  And being American by the way is more than just crossing some border and standing on this soil.  Your family has got to have ancestor that died to make this coutry what it once was.  Thanks to the fucking Mexicans and Bush, we are losing what we once had.

I always look at it this way it was the way they were raised and they just don't know any better they have not been exposed to our way of life.  If they were adults prior to the late 50's that is just the way it was in the USA and in the south it was even worse. I am not saying they are right they are not they are not educated the way we were.  It is sad I feel sorry that people had to live life that way of life and could never see that skin did not make the people. Our heart and our soul is what makes us. If they are out and out predigest rednecks just dont go let your husband go as it is his grandparents and they may have one good thing about them that helped shape your husband to be the person he is.  I always hope and pray for the day when this is no longer an issue

I definitely think you are right on track.  Latinos are definitely defiant.  Streets in the United States are becoming more and more filled with garbage because of the growing Latin community.  I am originally from El Salvador, but my wife and I share your views.  We are not getting enough respect from the Americans because we are NOT AT ALL respecting American Laws.  And it has to do a lot with education.  Maybe the MASSES of latinos living in the United States are mostly uneducated classes looking to enhance their income and actually fleeing their countries.  That makes for a big chunk of people looking very bad in the eyes of the public.

I believe it's because they don't understand what it is to be American...very sad

People from all nationalities will participate in the marches tomorrow. Pastors, Lawyers, Doctors,sheiks, taxi drivers, factory workers, fruit pickers, immigration advocates,... just to name a few, will participate in the marches. Majority of the marchers are gonna be legal immigrants who have been through the system, some American citizens. I think majority of illegal immigrants might stay home just to stay out of trouble. One thing most people don't realize is that these people are not criminals. They just want a part of the American dream. I bet there are some of them who even want to join the military to fight for the US. Majority of immigrant haters have no idea of what's outside of the United States. When one travels to a different country, one bacomes like a fish out of water. Having immigration issues makes it even worse. You become more like your own prisoner. Home sweet home; there is no place like home. The point I'm trying to make is that America is greatest nation in the world and these people want to be part of it. They risk their lives, leave everything behind just to be part of this great nation. You'll be surprised that some of the illegal immigrants were lawyers, judges, teachers, nurses,doctors,engineers, and so on and so forth; they leave it all behind to adopt this great nation as their home. Not all immigrants are unskilled like people thought. I'm not talking about just Mexicans. I'm talking about immigrants in general.

Ok....let's get one thing straight.  When my (and many others) ancestors came here long ago IT WASN"T ILLEGAL!!!  Most of them came here not for money or a better life but for life itself (jews, scots, irish).  They had people actually killing them, I mean gun to the head, knife to the heart.  And they came to this country and FOUGHT for this country, losing whole families along the way.  I live in the south and am a proud southerner (that does not mean racist), my family were poor dirt farmers from Tennessee who scraped by with what they could grow or what they could buy with the little money my father (who had to drop out of school at the age of 12 to get a job - only boy out of 11 children - and fought in Vietnam) made doing odd jobs.  Today we have laws in place to stop the over population of our country.  My husband is an immigrant who went through the proper channels.  Yes, it cost money that we didn't have but we STILL went through the proper channels.  They will let you in unless you have something to hide, all you have to do is fill out the paper work and wait.  I know that today time is money and one day can mean the life and death of someone you love but AMERICA is NOT to blame for the state of your home country.  I am all for immigration if it is done legally!  As far as I am concerned, whether you come from Mexico, China, England, France, or Tim-buck-too, if you come here illegally you should be prepared to face the repercussions of doing so.  Breaking the law is breaking the law, period.  No one is above it (with the exception of the Bosh family - or so they wish us to believe).

As far as the immigration issue, I have no problem with anyone wanting to immigrate, but why all of the sneaking over? Does it just take so long to go through all of the red tape or something? Just curious. I didn't see any of the previous postings, but you are completely correct! Unless you are of American-Indian descent, TECHNICALLY none of the rest of our bloodlines originated in what is now the United States! It frustrates and saddens me to see that people are still so ignorant. Even more so when I see them passing these beliefs and attitudes down to their young children! I think there is no greater crime than that! Where did the innocence of youth go? Way to go though. Great topic!

I'm Latin, I don't live in the states and hopefully will never have to, even though I have a self owned house there, anyway here in my country we have some ilegal north americans and I'm not ignorant enough to judge them by their inmigration status,but I guess that's because of the different educational and cultural background we have with some egomaniac countries.Some people are really pathetic.

I definitley think we should take strong action to stop this from happening. It won't be too long and we'll be the minority. It's like the US is just saying, hey come here and take our country from us. While your at it, fly only mexican flags and speak only spanish, so us americans will have to learn it. It's such a sensitive subject, but I hear so many mexicans saying they're not being treated fairly or equally, well no kidding, more than half of them are illegal. If they love mexico soo much, then go back!!!! Besides it makes me really uncomfortable when a group of mexican guys stare at my friends and i and talk amongst themselves. what the h e l l are they saying?

This is the problem with illegal immigrant they are loyal to their country of origin and all they care about is that country. This is the reason they don't care what they do here in the USA, legal or illegal, all they know that this is not their country and they don't care. Experts say that we the American people have to wait two or three generations of their born in order for them to be loyal to the USA and that's not even guarantee. Mean while they corrupt, steal and drain our economy. You cannot served to god because when the time comes you are going to hate one of them, you have to pick who you are going to serve.Do you think that fair, I don't. I'm an American, proud and will give my life for my country. I almost did in Vietnam as a Special Forces officer.

You said it! I agree with you completely. There is not enough room in this world for hate- It has caused too many problems already. Illegal immigrants are only trying to improve their lives, their children's lives. I'm not going into a debate on the issue, but the hate and anger need to stop. What happened to America that we act like this?
