Why do you think many Americans are so eager to go to Mexico? To try the delicious tacos? No!!! Many Americans go to Mexico because they enjoy sexual relationships with Mexican children! Not all criminals are illegal mexicans in the U.S. Check the "sexual offenders list".

Well, for starters we could learn their language.  Since everyone here is ticked off that they don't know ours- let's set and example and learn theirs.\n\nPS I'm going out on a limb here but I'm thinking PANCHA (like me) was being sarcastic in the post, attempting to show people how ridiculous some of our demands are, when we would blatantly REFUSE to do the same things we ask of them.

There are two predominant ways in which people are deemed to be in the US illegally - either they enter the country illegally, or they enter the country legally, then lose their legal status.\n\nThe majority of foreign nationals who enter the US illegally come as economic migrants; they are searching for a better way of life, and for opportunities that simply are not available in their own countries.  The US is an attractive alternative to other western countries because it has such diverse population centers - many immigrant populations are already well established.  Another reason is the land border with Mexico.  The huge expanse of often isolated shared border with Mexico has provided a relatively easy crossing for millions of Third World nationals.  Intending illegal immigrants from all over the world try to enter Mexico in order to cross into the US across the land border.  Others, with more resources, attempt to enter Canada in order to cross into the US through the northern land border.\n\nIllegal immigration is a highly charged issue.  Attempts to stem the tide of illegal immigration have historically been met with strong resistance; logic and law are often obscured by emotional rhetoric.  As long as the disparity exists between First World and Third World countries, and as long as intending immigrants are able to enter the US outside of the proper channels, without fear of sanctions, then there will continue to be a problem with illegals.

It is not easy to get into this country legally, but most things worth doing are not easy.  As you said no other country, including Mexico, allows free and undeterred migration to their country so why should the USA.  The USA is a major terrorist target and we must KNOW who is coming into our country to protect our people and property from attack. It is about the greater good.  We could open our boarders and allow any and all who want to cross to come in but then how safe would they be after the bombings, gassing and killings started.

I live in Mexico and most Americans would be surprised the amount of wealthy people in Mexico.  The problem is the lack of a middle class.  I also have noticed that the rich in Mexico treat the poor much worse than the Americans treat the Mexicans. Its no wonder so many want to go to the USA.  It really is strange, the rich are actually racist against their own poorer countrymen.  Not sure I understand your ? though.

Most Americans are not fortunate enough to find opportuinty to travel (ie. costs alot, or prior responsibilities limit travel).  They find comfort to in their common surroundings while most humans do as well.\n\nThe US is also a VERY large country (almost as big as Europe) so travel in the US is like travelling in the EU but without the different languages.\n\nAmericans also are notorious to NOT learn a second language, and this seriously limits travel options.\n\nKeep travelling!

People make that assumption because they are the largest group of incoming illegal immigrants.  They aren't the only people who come to this country and stay without legal citizenship, but Mexicans do come and stay illegally in larger numbers than immigrants from any other single country.

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!!!!!

Mexico is very strict about their native citizens having everything, and the foriegners having nothing. As much as they complain saying America doesn't need a border control, and they critisize us for deporting.. If you tried going over the Mexican border, especially from the south, you would more than likely go to prison. If you tried to run away, you would probably get shot. Mexico is very critical on US policies, yet their policies are MUCH worse than ours.\n\nHowever, back to Mexico.. They are strict like that simply because they love their citizens. I.E. they hate American policies.. Why? Because they want their former citizens, or some even still their citizens to recieve the best. They are probably simply doing it because they care about their people.

Mexico is one of the my hypocritical countries i've ever seen.  They want to be able to march right into America, no questions asked.  Yet the countries to the south of them cannot march into Mexico.   Mexico has very strict immigration policies, and anyone caught sneaking into Mexico is in deep deep doo doo.   \n\nAmerica is dumb as he&#92;&#92; for not stopping the vast illegal flow of mexican peasants into the USA.   Our leaders have failed us miserably, and all should be censored, including past and present Presidents and Congress for being derilect in their duties.   \n\nVicente Fox is not friend of America.  He is a friend of Bush,  but all the rest of us fart in his general direction.   Americans support legal immigration, and despise the illegals.   We can pick our own lettuce, thank you.  Get the He&#92;&#92; out!

Makes NO sense does it??!! The mexican border is one of the most DANGEROUS places around, what with drug smugglers sneaking across!!! There has been OVER two hundred incursions into the U.S.,by the mexican army,just THIS year!!! THEN,you have all the murderers,rapists,child molesters, and gang members SNEAKING across!!! The border patrol gets shot at all the time!! It is SUICIDE to not have weapons to defend yourself, when you are stationed on the border!!!!

Don't know, but they shouldn't be- citizens have a right to protect their own country, whether illegal or not!  History will prove them right and their actions will be honored at a future time.  Americans are expected to be sensitive to everyone else yet, to add insult to injury, we're supposed to submit to the ridiculous whims of others.  What justification can an illegal immigrant bring for breaking the laws of other countries.- they have none b/c they have no standing to complain.  Why don't you ask mexico why they rape and pillage their southern border yet expect us to leave our southern border open.  On top of that, they want free healthcare and complain when we suggest that thats inappropriate- the rest of the world is laughing at us.  As long as american kids are deathly afraid of rotting in a mexican jail for littering or peeing in the street, we shouldn't even grant mexico an audience!  Even worse, now they're demanding that we hand deliver Dog the Bounty Hunter to them for capturing a habitual rapist that mexico wasn't even trying to capture!  Whatever- mexico should learn its place!

Even American Indians fought for different hunting grounds.  Our European ancestors that settled here were just better warriors.  Now we have boarders and laws.  They are observed in all other countries on this planet, the USA should not be any different.  Mexico has some of the toughest immigration laws and some of the harshest penalties for breaking them.

I'm not sure what your question is.  I assume child prostitution is illegal in Mexico, and I encourage you to enforce that law. In this country, it would also make the 'customer' a statutory rapist, and if your law doesn't provide for that or a similar penalty, I strongly encourage you to change the law.\n\nPreying on children is nasty anywhere. Perpetrators deserve what they get.\n\nI don't think I understand the rest, though.  On our immigration policy, it is not racist to enforce immigration laws limiting the impact of economically disadvantaged people to the amount the society is willing to accept and care for.  All countries do this.  If people come legally, they are welcome.  If they don't, they overburden the system and take money and benefits meant for others. It is not discrimination to oppose people taking what isn't theirs.

This immigration matter is complex. Immigrants fleeing Mexico, are like ants soaking up our resources but Mexicans are hard workers and will do minimum wage and/or menial labor that some Americans frown upon. Our borders are not as secure as they should be and besides that, human smugglers take advantage of immigrants wanting to come here by herding them into vehicles like cattle, with no thought of safety or dignity. \nAt least 50% of all illegal drugs are smuggled from Mexico.\n   On the other hand Mexicans make up our largest percentage of legal aliens. They contribute significantly to our economy and our culture.\n    Our country needs to make laws applying to those already here and apply new statutes for future immigrants because our country is founded by immigrants from all parts of the world.

Most of those are illegaly in America.. in other words.. they may live here.. but are not americans. \n\nI am mexican american by the way. I say shame on those mexicans who don't support the contry, yet get bent out of shape when we want them out of the contry. \nThey can come back.. but do it legaly.

On May 1st, I noticed alot of people were really happy and shopping. Traffic was great. Mexicans take it personally because 65% of the illegal population comes from Mexico. Of course they will raise a stink, they hate America but they love our money.

They are deported back to their own country of origin, whether that country is Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador or wherever.  They are never returned to Mexico if they are not Mexican as Mexico won't accept them, either.  Actually, the Central Americans love that trip home as it is an airplane ride home - much easier than their trip up.  They consider it a holiday and stay home to visit their friends and families awhile then they head back to el norte again.  They do it over and over, as long as they are physically able.  My daughter's boyfriend did very well for himself and had some $30,000 US saved up in his home country of Honduras by last time he was deported in December (a lot of money in Honduras, considering that their average yearly income there is only $400 - $600 per year) and he is on his way back now to the US and expects to be here within 2 to 4 weeks.  He thinks it is a wonderful adventure!
