Not that would want that,  but what is wrong with this picture?  Why are you not marching down the streets of your country that you love so much?  Why not use your efforts down there, instead of raising so much hell up here.  Any sympathy I had for you, you have destroyed.  And I am not the only one who feels this way.  I have never been a racist in my life.  I am now.  You have sent race relations way back in this country.  I feel so sorry for the Mexican Americans born and raised here.  Great hard working people which I truly believe really do not want to back this boycott,but I am sure some feel they have to.

Yes it is true because it is written in their constitution and if you are illegal you can't even work or own land so tell that to the illegals here

80% of the illegals that are coming across the border are not even Mexicans. They are from Guatamala and El Salvador , Panama, China and so on. Its not the Mexicans that are crossing over the border except for maybe a few. Now 1000's cross everyday with a Visa to go shopping in San Diego and in doing so are paying mega cash into state tax which who is benifiting from? They arent because they are go back home.  Yeah the government in Mexico sucks but things are changing slowly and thats because who ever tries to change things to fast and are noticed those people disappear. A few years back Colossio who was running for President came to Tijuana to speak and since he was wanting to change things for the people he was shot. In your question you said " it will take some Blood , sweat and tears . and thats how we made this country what it is.  Now I ask you Whos blood sweat and tears  made this country? Yours?  Whos blood and sweat do you think made The US?  AMericans?   American is not a race, it is a name given to a country in which every race of the world came together to build the country.

I have not seen anything on the Internet yet. It seems to me that the ones supporting illegals being in this country are being more racist then the ones trying to kick them out. People need to grow up and answer a question without having to go the racist route in their answers

Yes. It is unfair.  I sincerely apologize for that!  It was unjust and uncalled for!  I have personally made the same mistake many times, not verbally, just mentally.\n\nI know it is wrong but it happens. I hope to explain why it happens, not to justify it, but just to help you understand why. It definitely is wrong. I can't justify it. I welcome legal immigrants and future citizens here with open arms, no matter where you are from.  You ARE the future of our great nation, as you were our past!\n\nOur country is being invaded by illegal aliens. They have been coming here for decades and now it's become an epidemic. Although it's only now being so publicized, Americans HAVE been annoyed and sick of it for decades!  \n\nUnfortunately, the most visible illegals have been Mexicans.  To make it worse, the Mexican illegals and/or the supporters disrespected our country by flying the Mexican flag and flying the American flag upside down. This was a slap to our face!  \n\nIt is wrong, but when a Mexican annoys us now in any way, we associate it with the illegals. It's a shame because legal Mexicans have so much to offer our country. That has been true since our origin and remains true now.  \n\nI would like to say it's the few ruining it for the masses, but the few are becoming masses which is the problem.

The media estimates that almost ONE MILLION ILLEGAL FOREIGN MIGRANTS  and their advocates Militantly Marched in the streets of America under the flag of Mexico. Their agenda is for our FEDERAL LAWS TO BE IGNORED , and their Criminal Trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American Citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly under the flag of a foreign country to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to FORCE Americans to ACCEPT LARGE FOREIGN COLONIES  in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the RIGHT and the moral MORAL OBLIGATION  to DEFEND AMERICA , and  JUST SAY NO !!!\n\n\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (Citizens And ILLEGAL ALIENS ALIKE) Are MARCHING On Our Cities Carrying The FLAG Of ANOTHER NATION , And DEMANDING The Rights Of AMERICAN Citizens... THAT Is The ICING On The Cake \n\nFolks .. You WANT To Be Treated Like AMERICANS Yet You Will Protest Under A FOREIGN FLAG ... And You Expect ME To RALLY With You And SUPPORT Your Cause??? \n\nI Think NOT.. Perhaps You Should Realize Exactly What It Is That You Are Trying To Accomplish... Because To ME It Looks Like An INVASION From A Foreign Army .. \n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE\n \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag\nBy WAVING YOURS In My FACE\nAnd WALKING On MINE??? \n\nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My AMERICAN BROTHERS Of ANY DESCENT

We are all humans,sadly there are some that think the color of skin or  racial origin make them better than others others! I agree that the illegals are creating a big problem in this country,I agree that many of them come here and drain our system and resources\nI sat here several hours last night,just thinking.I tried to imagine myself as a parent in a country where there wasn't much opportunity to provide for a family.A country where a large portion of the population doesn't have running water.Can you even imagine what their lives must be like if they'd risk everything to cross the desert in a semi? I asked myself "what would I do" I think I would do what others have done and chance crossing the border and then try to become a citizen.From what I am told,if you live in such a country,obviously you wouldn't have the means of applying for citizenship before crossing the border.And being that you have little or no funds the US probably wouldn't approve your paper work anyways.Would any of you stay there and listen to your children cry because they are hungry or thirsty?Or would you cross the border?Not all illegals come here with criminal intent.Although just being here is illegal,I think you might have a different view if it were you and your family!\nAnd where does the blame truly belong? Illegal immigrants have been here for as long as I can remember.We didn't just wake up a few weeks ago and they were here! Our government turned their watchful eye the other way and let it happen. Have you ever wondered why?What were they getting in return? Who was benefiting from looking the other way.Have you wondered why after all the decades ,why our government suddenly wants  to put an end to them crossing our borders? Look at the news,everytime our government or someone connected to the gov.makes a huge blunder,an event has been created to take the attention away from the blunder! When the thing with Clinton and Monica first hit the news,the next night we heard about two guys carrying viles filled with Anthrax.I told my daughter not to be scared because it was only a deversion and that it would be reported later that they had made a mistake,sure enough that's exactly what happened!So look to the news .An election is coming up,and then there's that report that our Marines have deliberately killed innocent women and children in Iraq.Have you wondered why the trial for saddam is taking such a long time to conduct? Is that really saddam or a look alike?  Do any of us really have any answers?All I can say is that as a result of recent headlines,I see this country dividing and it is scary!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n\nLeave Mexico alone.  \n\nIt is man-made division anyway!  How would anyone like to be on the other side of the less fortunate.\n\nI think it is usually the ones who are not getting ahead who are really afraid of others taking their patch.\n\nThe successful and purposeful people (not necessary rich) don't worry this much about migrants coming to steal their bread, rice, pasta, etc. They know if they work hard enough, they'll have their share!\n\n_________________________________________\nIt is like the dog that sits put guarding his bowl for his master to top it up, eats whatever is given, not much of a choice; \n\nThese dogs are similar to people who don't travel (besides some genuine cases of dislike for travels), people who can't afford to travel because they are losers waiting around their little plot ready to jump at newcomers who move around for their existence.  \n\nAt least these migrants (I only support legal ones) are doing something positive about their lives - taking charge of their destiny and being proactive for their existence.  They are those who don't believe that someone else own them their living!)\n\n\nVersus the other dog who leaves his bowl knowing where to find food elsewhere, finds what he likes, having choices!  and then when these winners cast their eyes besides them, they see nothing but the same old loser of a 'bowls-guarding dogs'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loser with mentality that because we are born on this patch, we have the rights to sit down and wait to be served??????\n\nThe quicker these mentality of birth rights are put in the right perspective, this world will have less losers.\n\nPeople who keep barking around their bowls are losers anyway.  So they can keep barking, nothing much will change.  \n\nThe hard workers win, it is nature's law, like it or not!\n\n------------------------------------------\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

somebody said about no real jobs and the mexicans issue. This anyway doesnt apply on me I am not mexican, but why I cant find a decent Job. I have my education and i am sure not because of the mexicans but because of the OUTSOURCING. My Job aswell of many other vanished for some CHEAP LABOR overseas (india and china), The issue of the illegal immigrant has been  a problem since forever, but why now it was erupted? Because the Big companies are laying off people left and right, and outsourcing the jobs of others, maybe they knew some retaliation will happen so they erupt and paid money in millions to let media concentrate on mexicans.\n\nBeside that someone said the 300.000 on welfare.... Did you trach how many are not mexicans on welfare and they are capable of working but they dont want to do anything beside selling crack on the streets and hang out arround. You know how many are those? MANYYYY.\n\nWhat about the war thats is not OURS!!! war expense everyday was estimated of 100 millions. Gaz for vehicles, food for soldiers, etc... What we have to do with irakians problems? why we still there? thats beside everyday we lose one or 2 soldiers. These are humans !!! THATS where you lose Money!!!\n\nAnd for those who said now we have laws about immigration I am afraid that you missed totally the point of the person who asked this question. He mentioned the settlers as a prove that all white, yellow, black, brown except what called red indians are IMMIGRANT. You accept that fact or not, this country history return back to 300 to 400 years max. \n\nAnyway americans are offensive to newly immigrant? yes but because of some rules in some companies about zero tolerance against discrimination they dont say it out loud. btw If the americans didnt descriminate against others based on their origin...why there is a law prohibit the descrimination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

My position has ALWAYS been to help AMERICANS first!!!!! THEY deserve it A LOT MORE than these damn ILLEGALS do!!!!!!!!!!!! A LOT of those living on the streets,are our VETERANS!!!!! People who FOUGHT for THIS country!!! ILLEGALS just want to SPONGE  off the U.S. CITIZENS, while carring their CRAPPY,MEXICAN flags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are here already.Why would we even try to deport them all.Regardless of whether they broke the "law".That "law" has never been enforced.So why is eveyone screaming for the cops,all of a sudden.(here comes the sob story(They have lived here for years,decades.They have children that were born here.Most have been productive members of this society.They own homes and have no ties to their home countries.It is ridiculous and silly to say,"send them packin".\nNow not everyone had an opinion on this until the marches and the protesting.I would like to know why that pissed so many ppl off.They do have a right to do that.It is in our Constitution.Even if they are not citizens.\nLast.I am a citizen and I don't know where some ppl got their arrogance from.There is racism involved,and if you have ever experienced racism,you would know it doesn't feel good when someone hates you just because of you ethnicity.And it is even more fucked up when they think it's funny.Maybe I expect too much from my fellow? Americans.

Your attitude makes me sick! It's a wonder anyone outside the U.S. would want to come here- legally or illegally, when they have to deal with people with so much hatred in their hearts toward foreigners. You think it's all "a game" to them? You think it's "easy" for them to make a life here? You're very wrong. You haven't walked a mile in any one of their shoes, have you? So what makes you the expert on what they think and feel? You are stereotyping an entire culture (or two!) and that's really unfair. You know what I think? We would live in a better world if we had "no borders" dividing any of us! But, if we absolutely HAD TO, we should take haters like you and put them on an island , and far from any other land! Then maybe the rest of us could live in peace.

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...

Absolutly making it worse!!!  Just like the terriorists are making it worse for Muslims.  They say all muslims aren't terriorists but all terriorists are muslim.  All Mexicans aren't members of the Atzlan/Reconquista crowd but all members are Mexican.  The legal families as well as illegal who do not agree with them are "collateral damage" in their broad scheme.  Why else would 2 non-english speaking students beat the crap out of another who did?  Why would a fellow Mexican get drug out of his car and beaten during a Mexican holiday for having an American flag on his car?  Why would another have scalding coffee thrown in his face because he was against amnesty?  Why do they make it a "race" thing when the head of the Minutemen in Il. is latino?  Other Minutemen are latino.  Where was the race card when 2 Mexican-American  border patrol agents are being unjustly punished for doing their job?  The American people are behind them.  They'll support Elvira who is breaking the law and leave their own out to dry for supporting the law.  They are playing the language card to further cause a rift and seperation of people.  Even when people who learn Spanish to try and communicate...it's not the "right" Spanish....it has to Mexican Spanish.  Anything and everything to push everyone who isn't Mexican out of the picture.  How well do you think a Korean-American is going do speaking the Mexican version of Spanish?  Sorry.....but no.....they are doing incrediable damage.  Their hate and their agenda is far louder and having more impact on the American people than anything.

NOT ME!!!! I do NOT care what i am called,because i KNOW that "race has nothing to do with the way i feel about ILLEGALS!!!!! The mexican people that i know,are LEGAL citizens,who love the United States,as i do!!! They came here legally, they work and pay taxes,and pay their OWN medical!!! They do NOT even own a mexican flag,or if they do, they don't FLAUNT it in my face!!!\n Am i afraid to speak out??? HECK NO!!!!\nDo some think we're wimps??DON'T KNOW,DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ONLY reason that illegals and their supporters call everyone "racist",is because,they have NO OTHER defense for the CRIMINAL ACTIONS of illegals!!!! Don't let it get to you!! Just remember the SOURCE!!
