Ok seriously people it is not okay to call Mexicans Dirty-Mexicans, Spics or anything else that is dorogitory.\nAnd it's okay to be upset with people who are breaking the law but to go as far as to hate all immigrants and try to build a wall on the boarder...I mean come on get over yourselves and realize that America was made by immigrants.

Because is fairly obvious with the intelligence level of this forum that no one has the common sense to realise that picking fruit for a job is not a job which requires the use of the brain, so perfect for the idiots on this board.

No matter how you spin it, they're here illegally. Our government shouldn't have ever let that happen. I don't think most americans have any problems with legal immigrants and lots don't with even illegals, but what about our nation's security? All terrorists & drug dealers  have to do is pay the mexican police and they can come right on in. The key to national security is at the ports, airports and the borders.  I think it's time americans against illegal immigration come together on this issue. Write, e-mail or call your local politicians and make you voices heard. I did. My husband is an immigrant who had to do it legally, so why shouldn't everybody else? Please, it's nothing to do with racism. It's concern for our country and the american way of life.

It's just rhetoric.  While I don't agree with the open borders crowd, I think that what they're trying to say with that kind of rhetoric is that a person's immigration status doesn't define his or her essence as a human being.  That is, instead of being called "lawbreakers," they would rather be labeled "people who have broken a law."\n\nPersonally I wish that we could start calling such people "unauthorized immigrants," as a middle ground.

obeirn1:  Fianlly someone with a brain on here.  I agree with you 100%.  Here is the trouble with this immigration debate, to much prejudices, and racisits trying to run the country.  Also some of these "haters" as I have so affectionatly called them, tend to go with what the neighbor says without investingating things themselves.  Like most things, when people jump to conclusions, this whole thing will turn out to blow up in the "haters" face.  People dont realize that it is not just "Mexicans" here illegally, and if you look at the problem more, you will se that it is actually our own Governement (INS policies) that prohibit the majority of these hispanics from gaining papers.  Look at it from their side, if your kids were starving would you not do what you had to do to feed them?  Now if you cant afford food, how on earth are you to afford thousands of dollars for papers, when the wages in countries like Mexico are 5 bucks a week....people just think they know all when they refuse to see the tarnish on the coin.  ~~To answer the question, I am ashamed that as a whole, americans think they are somehow better than the rest of the world!~~

First off let me say that I am a white American. I live in  Southern Oregon and speak both english and spanish. I have many Legal Mexican-American friends. That being said. If you sneak into this country you are breaking the law!!! Deport them. My legal Mexican friends moved here seeking better wages and did it legally. Additionally they are very fine people who I am pleased to have in my community. They follow the letter of the law. They are model citizens. They do not like criminals who sneak into our country.

all of this B,S, about Mexicans being illegal ? strange but unless history is wrong again the Mexicans were here before any whites or any others except Indians, the U,S, took the whole western half of this country from Mexico and many many Mexicans fought for the American forces, then their land and homes were taken by the whites because our gov, did not recognize Spanish land grants, therefore driving many Mexicans who helped and fought for America into Mexico,it would seen those yelling about Mexicans would be yelling about the Islanders here who start crying for their welfare checks before they get off of the boat, or the over one million Muslims who are a very present danger to America, and are robbing us blind thru grants, loans, etc, and are waiting for their Friends to get here so they can cut our throats,    B,T.W.  what about that wet back Mexican who threw his own body on a hand grenade in Iraq to save his American buddies? do you think any Islander or Muslim would do that? don't think so,

i agree. they seem to be doing the same thing. the blacks had a better reason for doing it. this is there home country. they had no where else to go. the illegals we have now are disgraceful. they totally disrespect are country. and yes they call black people foul names. and laugh about it. if you say something to them about being hateful they call you ugly nasty names. they are nice to the blacks to their face because they know the black people will kick the dog crap out of them. then ask why they said it, and before they can explain they get their a sses kicked again.\n martin Luther king was a peaceful man, he would most likely be telling us to get along. god bless him.

wow.  very well said.  what happend between white settlers and native americans, while very sad and wrong, is in the long gone past and its flat stupid to be upset over that.  i am upset with illegals because they come here ILLEGALY and DEMAND that we give them free stuff and financial help and all the freedoms of a US citizen.  while they may seek a better life by coming to America (cuz we just that cool) if we wanted you here, we would let you here.  many latin american countries are underdeveloped and diseases can travel through borders easily when people sneak across them.  plain and simple.

You are right ... people tend to confuse race with law for some weird reason ... the illegal immigration issue is not about race or nationality ... it's about protecting our borders!  People who come here illegally do so knowing they are breaking our laws ... why is it racist to be against that??  And it is also very true that the biggest loudmouths screaming racism are the illegal Latinos ... probably because they have no other argument ... won't wash with me either ...

Well, it isn't proper because ppl get offended. Please note above answers. Most don't get offended by black or white. I am terrible at guessing nationality so if I don't know I just don't say. We don't call mexicans brown either, so really their are a lot of inconsistities. Preety much the rule to follow is, go with the flow and if it is going to hurt someone, don't do it unless it is important, terminology isn't important

For the life of me i can't understand what is wrong with America. I hear these idiots saying they feel sorry for the Mexicans, WHY? They get more from our government they us LEGAL AMERICANS do. They break the law, commit serious crimes and run their ass back across the border. I am not saying that legal citizens don't commit crimes but where the hell are we running to? Do the crime, do the time. Look at the gang MS13, the largest gang in the US, so lets see are they white? NO! Are they black? NO! So let me see if I get this right. they are MEXICAN? HELL YES!! They do NOT want to be a US citizen any damn way, they just want to take over. If they want to be here so damn bad then why the hell do they refuse to learn English and fly that UGLY ass Mexican flag. WAKE UP people, we are loosing our beautiful country to ILLEGAL MEXICANS!!!

Yes, this is a yahoo war because I am totally against illegals right to work in the United States and every AMERICAN, it does not matter what race, should feel the same.\n\n But, however I do like tequila!! And usually end up on the floor!!\n\nBOOBOOLUBEAR, THAT HAPPENS IN OTHER COUNTRIES TOO!!!DUH!!! AMERICANS CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO BECAUSE WE PAY FOR THAT RIGHT TO BEAR CHILDREN AND I BELIEVE WE SHOULD SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN. THE MEXICAN GOVT DOES NOT SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY!!!!!

Because "America" is the shortened name for "United States of America". Like it or not, America has a right to its independence from its geography. Mexicans and Canadians are not "Americans". They are Mexicans and Canadians.\n\nAnd we don't hate immigrants, we just want to stop the ILLEGAL ones from hanging out here ILLEGALLY. That is not just people from Mexico, but from EVERYWHERE.\n\nYou think the Prez is a dingbat? Then let's see YOU solve the problem of skyrocketing healthcare and stolen identities. \n\nI'm listening.

What does it matter where they are from?  The issue is illegal immigration, not the country of origin.  Latinos have assumed a high profile in the marches and in the debate, so there is some reason to think in terms of 'Mexicans'. Your numbers bear that out since that 43% is illegal aliens from all of the other countries in the world, put together.\n\nHowever, I agree that name calling is a distraction at best, and nasty to read.  We could do without it, on BOTH sides of the debate.

I hear you but "they" wouldn't understand what you're trying to say...maybe because "they" are in denial or simply using the "everyone is an immigrant" to justify their criminal acts.\n\nP.S. i noticed you said the words "illegal mexicans" good your voicing out your opinion just like those ILLEGAL MEXICANS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS!\n\ngirlfriend no matter what you say about mexicans whether good or bad...they'll accuse you of being a racist.
