Who told you that? Some legal Mexicans are protesting right along with the illegals while some just forgot where they came from. Question. What do you have against Mexicans?

Anyone here a member of a union.  The jobs they do, these are not jobs that no americans will do, busboy, valet, waiter, etc.  Maybe Americans want to be paid more but hey, when you have a minimum wage, that's to be expected.  \n\nPersonally, I know a lot of international people.  I hear a lot about their problems getting into this country.  To me, illegal immigration is like cutting ahead of all these great people.  Is that fair, hells no, life in mexico isn't great, but the people in mexico can't complain about anything.  They no nothing about hard life.  If we should allow illegal immigration on the basis of them being refugees, then there are millions in Africa who we should bring in first.  There are two ways of doing it, don't let anyone in illegally, or let everyone in.  And I think we would know what happens if we just opened the floodgates.    \n\nIf the people protesting really wanted to be here, wouldn't they have an american flag, not a mexican one.  I'm really sick of the racial preservation.  You want to be proud to be mexican, go be proud in mexico, because if you want to say you're proud to be mexico and you're illegal, you're saying that you're proud you grew up from such filth that you couldn't help but leave(but you still love being from there).

"Who, else is gonna help bring the crops in at 4.00 an hour and not complain? "  Since minimum wage is $5.15/hour, the farmers are breaking the law.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years. \n\nIf you go to a country and refuse to assimilate, continuing to speak your own language then you are really not an immigrant -- you're a colonist ... and that's what the Mexicans are doing, they're colonizing the American Southwest as part of their "reconquista" Read about mecha in the link I provided and you'll see what the Mexicans real agenda is.\n\nhttp://www.americanpatrol.com/MECHA/MEChAindex.html

Most of these kids wanted a day off from school.  What is this all about - waving the Mexican Flag.  That sure sends a good, clear message.  They like Mexico better than America - if they like Mexico so much - send them back there.\n\nI was fine with the protests until they all started pulling out the Mexican Flag.  Go home.

I'm a first generation immigrant from England, and I just want to say that I think it's hilarious so many Americans want Mexicans & other South Americans to learn MY country's language! I know folks from all around the world, but it's only Americans that you can rely on to only speak a single language!\n\nHaving said that, it's not so hard to come here legally.  \n\nWe'll sort this mess out before long.  If all Mexicans stop going to Walmart & Starbucks (as I heard on the radio today) the WalMart will fix the problem.\n\nHow about we just give EVERYBODY the citizenship test, and everyone that fails (including those born here) gets shipped out?

ok u know what?... i'm going to be honest with u.. cause this is actually making me crazy!... i've been talking about this issues for more than weeks now..  had big arguments with my father because of this... my famyly came to the united states with visa.. after a couple of years the united states granted us the residence... to all this.. my parents had been paying taxes since they arrive to this country and decided to stay... this is the case for many people.. that dont actually are from MEXICO .. for your information and for many others that are going to read this.. let me tell u this... many people that happen to come to the united states are also from south america and central america... and many "north americans" tend to label everyone as MEXICANS... this bring disconfort to many people.. i think u should start thinking about how u think about this....\ni know many people that work and do a lot for this country's economy.. and i do agree that many people that want to be legal here don't deserve it... and those should be returned to their own country... \ni also think that many people living here need to get educated and realize that if they're going to protest for their legal status.. they shouldn't be taking their countries flag because of course.. we're talking about USA... not mexico, guatemala, el salvador and many other countries.. they came here.. they live here and they should learn to speak english and become civilized people... \ni also think that the idea of singing the national us anthem in spanish was a bad idea.. i know it was done with the best thoughts but i agree when they say that the anthem it's something that should be sang in the language of the country... i would feel offended by something like that too.. and i ask for an apology to those that agree with me...

do you think Mexicans are the only illegals in the US?  Illegals use Mexico to cross the boarder - including Russians, Salvadorians, Guatemalans and many others.  What about the Asians which arrive in shipping containers and hide out in the Chinatown's all over the country?\nWouldn't it be better to track those within the country and have them come in legally?\nDidn't you hear what happened to Walmart who hired a cleaning company who hired illegals?  We all benefit from having illegals - how do you think you get your cheap produce?

For all of you uneducated racists, oh excuse me, you say you are not, so I guess I have to believe you. The May 1st boycott is not trying to target ignorant people like yourselves, with less than high school education, and therefore cannot comprehend economics. It is targeted to large corporations, who at the end will influence the Senators making the decision. Go back to school!\n\nSo, take out your notebooks children, 42 million multiplied by 8 (expending) dollars, excluding School District funding... the answer is 336 Million dollars.\n\nThis is just ONE DAY. And this is not counting the amount of money that will not be produced for people NOT working.\n\nDo you still think it won't matter?\n\nOh, and before you start babling "we are 300 millions blah blah blah" it will only take 20 more senators to pass the bill, and in your beloved country, a million dollars is worth more than you and your entire family.\n\nGo back to school! Because you making 7-8 dllrs an hour has NOTHING to do with immigration!

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.

This is what suprises me...that the "legal" immegrant population is willing to allow their way of life here in the U.S to be dramatically reduced for the sake of their "Illegal" counter parts. What's going to happen when we let all these people become citizens? a new build up of illegals will start! Your schools, your freeways, your hospitals are all overcrowded NOW! What does the future hold when we don't say NO? The poor will continue to crowd into their dingy one bedroom apartments while the rich will continue to exploit them for pennies! Pretty soon OUR country will be like Mexico in that we will have those that are rich exploiting those that are dirt poor!....and you will have brought it on yourselves!

Pointless. It'll be "just another manic Monday",get up take a shower, dress, grab a cup of coffee and a granola bar and go to work, late as usual. I'll get gas on my way home, grill some chicken out on the deck and chill out. That boycott won't affect anyone except the communities the illegals themselves live in. Sorta like shooting yourself in the foot. The Spanglish Anthem was just another nail in their coffin, May 1st will be their funeral. I'll sit back and watch it on TV and LMAO!! Great entertainment.

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?

How is the economy going to suffer if they only stop buying stuff for one day they are all just going to go out on either Sunday or Tuesday to get the stuff they needed monday. These people are ignorant if they seriously think this will do anything but damage their cause by pissing off more Americans by waving their da** Mexican flags and pissing all over the American cultures and traditions!

I think it is about the immigrants making a better life for themselves and their families! We as americans have is made here but we would not survive in Mexico for more than a day! Americans needs to think about the question, "What Would God Do?". he would not turn his backs on them!

The border policy is bull. And honestly, it's in the news and all, but the people I talk to in Southern California.. we don't care! It's just the media hype making it out to be a bigger deal than it is (I hope). To get a little stereotypical, what would we possibly do without Mexicans?? Honestly, who would cook, clean, cut grass, wash the dishes, and do all the other jobs that nobody else wants?? And they are not stealing our jobs, because nobody wants them! And if a Mexican is smart enough to compete with us for jobs (not saying they aren't, many many are!) then that is great! Who are we to decide who gets what? Honestly, the crimes that some of them commit aren't enough to deport an entire group of people. And finally, for the kicker.. WE ALL ENTERED THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY! I hate that argument, but honestly, it is true.
