How come every one here seems to have some hate towards Mexicans, there's also a lot of ilegal Asians here and way way more nationalities..but mexicans are the only ones to dare to go out there and fight for their and other peoples rights....

The key word is "illegal" as in not legal, as in wrong, as in shouldn't do it, as in not right. America has many flaws but one of our strengths is the legal system. What I find incomprehensible is that you would want to base a society on illegal principles as in I will cross another countries border, take up residence and not abide by their laws. My question to you is which laws do you decide to follow and which laws do you ignore and how do you arrive at your decision ? Do you want a society like Mexico where you have to bribe public officials and the police? I have lived in my country 52 years and not once have I had to or wanted to bribe a public official or policeman. On the other hand it is routine to do so in Mexico. What is also routine is bad water, disease and poverty. Do I hate Mexicans? Absolutely not. I want as many of them over here as possible speaking Spanish among themselves but English in general society, just as my German and Irish ancestors had to.Most of all I want them to follow the same laws as my ancestors followed. I do not want a Mexican legal system or culture dominating my life and my country  . We fought a war over that once and I have no desire to fight another one.\n\nLet me repeat I do not hate Mexicans but I will love the Mexican without agreeing to have the poverty, disease and disregard for the law imposed on me. This is my country and it is yours too as long as you follow the law, pay your taxes and learn the language. You would expect no less of me if I wanted to be a citizen of Mexico and common courtesy decency and respect would demand it.\n\nThis is a serious matter and it does not seem wise to me to expect reconquista. It will not happen.\n\nI just read Recoba 01's post. You need to know that I am not intimidated by Mexicans and do not think you are going to take my job. The rules are clear . Get your education, work hard compete fairly and then if you "take" my job all power to you. Mexicans are certainly capable of competeing with the best. As a native born American I am willing to live and let live, treat everyone with respect but as a slogan on one of the early American Flags put it. "Don't tread on me"

I think most of those that come here do so for the opportunity  or country has a history of providing and bear no contempt or hate for the US or the people. There are those that come here to exploit and take advantage of the US but they are a minority. I think its the ones that can't get in, are jealous or are trouble makers in general that give the perception of the bad immigrant or US haters. I do agre with you though, love or get the **** out.

I understand how you feel.  I am very sympathetic about the immigrants wanting to become citizens.  I believe that I would also do what ever I could to make a better life for my family.  BUT... the present protests going on, has really ticked me off, and one of the biggest reasons was seeing them waving the Mexican flag.  If they would like to become AMERICAN citizens then they shoudl all be waving the AMERICAN flag.  To me anyone that is waving the Mexican flag is saying in effect " I don't really want to give up my sovereignty to my country, I want to be a Mexican citizen with the rights here also" You just can't have it both ways.  There is nothing wrong with being proud of where you came from, but to be an American, your loyalty should be to the US

well actual mexicans ( not the spanish kind) are asian, every native american is asian anywhere in the americas from canada to chile , as for the mexicans not realising its probably coz mexico is so close to america and the ignorance has oozed off the yanks and travelled through the air into mexico

I am sick of seeing all these illegal Mexicans. They are in the US and CLAIM they want to be here BUT....... I find that to be an out right LIE. They don't respect us, our flag or our laws. I have seen them say themselves "They are taking their country back" If that is not enough to prove their intentions then I don't know what will. They are soooooo proud of Mexico but obviously to chicken shit to stand up and fight for their own country, so why in the hell do we want them here. I DON'T!!!! This is the only country that would put up with all this sh!t. thanks to our panty-waste government. Any other country would deport them or shoot them.

Yes.  Many people wrongfully equate illegal immigration with people of Mexican ancestry.  This is very unfair because we don't assume the same of people who are from other countries.  There are more Mexican immigrants here illegally than any other nationality, but that's only due to our proximity to Mexico, and they are by no means the only people who are here "without papers".

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.

Truth is illegal mexican workers are "the new slaves" like black people were at one point.There is a high demand of illegal workers and Thats why they are here! People want to pay for cheap labor and thats why they are here. But why just focus on one group??? what about the italian illegal immigrants? and what about the germans? and the polish? and the chinese? or japanese? my point is that people discriminate against only the mexican workers and then (and this bothers me a lot) they come off saying "OH I'm part german and part ecuatorian and part this and part that" Your ancestors were immigrants too at one point or another FACE IT! Unless you have 100% indian and only indian (native american) from before the british got here indian You come from an immigrant background. I think they deserve a chance ONLY if they want to STAy here and learn the language and pay taxes and not borders hop,work and then go back. If they want to truly become american citizens I say YOU DESERVE IT!! and YOU SHOULD GET A CHANCE!!

You won't find much hate here, there's some loud-mouths, and there's one guy that asks really 'interesting' questions, like he's trying a little bit of the old race-baiting gambit, there...\n\nMainly, though, you find some good dialogue going back and forth.\nImmigration, AND illegal immigration, are hardly issues confined solely to Mexico, or to the USA, for that matter. This'n's GLOBAL in its' scope and implications.\n\nEver read a book called The Population Bomb? It's worth a read...the guy's a little 'out there', but the book does give a couple good perspectives and different ideas on stuff...\n\nYou keep  hearing about 'growth', and how it's supposed to be great for the economy and all that. But, there's a flip-side to 'growth', a negative, less-publicized side, which is worth full review and discussion also, so beware some of these pro-immigration enthusiasts and their shiny-eyed kool-aid drinking B.S\n\nImmigration, like many other issues, has lots of facets and perspectives. Don't just listen to one group/voice etc....

I think people see them as a supremicist group. And supremicist groups are no good. "Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada" Everything for the Mexican Race, Nothing for outside the Mexican Race. It is saying that they believe that if you are not Mexican than you are not deserving. I disagree with that. I am white and my husband Mexican (from Mexico) and there is never a way that I could agree with that, and neither would he. Cant we all just get along?

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.

I think the rest of the world are ingrates. They ALWAYS come to us for help & then bad mouth us. We should help the entire free world, but then they criticize us. No land is perfect, but I don't bite the hand that feeds.......\n\nI'm also perplexed by so many people here in Yahoo that talk so badly about their own country especially in comparison to others. Why don't they just leave then if it's so bad? I hear there's cheap housing in Mexico..........

I really don't know.\n\nBut regarding your answer to the Mexican/English language question, I've definitely noticed that those who complain about immigrants "kant evun spull or rite korrectly inn Englush".\n\nGood observation and comment, my friend. :)

Well over here there is a lot of people that talk bad about the immigration situation, but when you guys answer the question and are talking about immigration you guys mean the Mexicans right. Not the Russian, not from other places but just Mexico. Well yes Im going to say im hispanic and no im not Mexican. I was born here but for white people is like whatever. "Yeah your hispanic so you are an immigrant". All of this is reall shady of people just criticizing of people you dont even know. Yeah about the flag, when the Mexicans was holding their flag in top of the United States one was not so cool. Now right there is something you should not be doing and i agree on that. That people shouldnt be holding the mexican flag first than the united states one.  \n\n\nTo just answer the question about this is that yes there are a lot of immigrants that are criminal but also there is a lot of people that are white and they are criminals, but not all the hispanic people are criminals some of them work hard in school. The high school im in right now is workin hard and has the highest test scores in most south central high schools. They are pure hispanics and some blacks. Well my point is that not all hispanic are the same, yes i know they are some lazy hispanic that just dont want to do anything but they are some that came here not legal that are trying there best to be something in life.
