I was born in Mexico.  I immigrated because my mother was a US citizen but not because she was my mother because Regan(R) Passed an Amnesty Law in 86.  Immigrants have a lot to contend with they really don't want to be in the middle of this argument.  They stayed in obscurity until someone in Washington decided what is best for the American people.  Well American people don't want to wash there own cars, or cook in restaurants or wash dishes or toilets.  If I can get my teenage boys to get a job this summer I'll be more than grateful.  We have become a selfish society and the only reason we don't like immigrants it's because they don't fit in to our name brand society.  They dress in what they can afford and wear their hair in last years fashion.  OMG hopefully we don't catch something.  What EVER!  Get over it America stop being so snooty.  Remember the immigrants that crosses Elise Island?  No body wanted the Jewess back then then the Irish.  It's the Mexicans turn.  Stop allowing history to repeat it self!!!!!

I know several people from Mexico, and they are proud to be Mexican. Yet people from Mexico dislike being called Mexicans in a context which indicates them as being stupid, incompetent, or "lesser" than another person or race (wouldn't you?). This is especially common in the United States. It's not right, but it happens nonetheless.

I propose we change the version of english spoken in the US, and call it American. Being that we are a bigger and meaner country than England, we can bully them and say we speak proper english, but truth be told, English is from England.

It was the defacto official language in the 19th century when immegrent would say we are Americans now we will speak English.  The problem is Illegal Aliens from around the world that really don't want to be apart of the country\n\nIt should be.  Something has to bind us together as people or we will split apart.

Calling us racist just because we are against illegal aliens being in our country is completely absurd.  If they don't like us they really should consider going back across the border where they truly belong. Americans shouldn't have to change to make them happy, or feel welcome.  It's not our responsibility.  THEY aren't our responsibility.

The best thing you can do is learn to speak spanish! You will need a language credit if you plan on going to college anyway. Yes explain it is rude, because it is. Lots of non-americans do this and it is rude. I hope we pass a law that English is the official language of the U.S- I was shocked to hear it wasn't but Spanish as a second language for anglos is a reality we are going to have to live with and is here to stay. As far as Cali turning into Mexico that will never happen. Here is some food for thought..... Most of California was at one time land belonging to Mexico. (along with most of texas, arizona and new mexico) When Santa Ana lost, the land was taken by the U.S.(literally taken, soldiers and rebels going up to houses and farmsteads throwing the occupants  out by force saying this is ours now get out, but hey that is what happens in war) -- along with thousands and thousands of acres that formally belonged to Mexico. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants, and your forefathers immigrated here too. You have to expect that the demographics of our country will continue to change over time. I do think something needs to be done about illegal immigration. I also think Mexico needs to do more to develop it's own economy and corruption problems so that Mexicans would not be derperate to come here. If it weren't for those illegal immigrants, however, you would be paying $18 a pound for tomatoes and lots more for things like hotel rooms, all produce, restaurant meals and so on. If you are not liking the change in the population of where you live, this is America, nobody is making you stay here. You have 50 wonderful states to choose from, as well as any country around the world. This is something you will have to think about as you grow up.

I think you are the gal having a legal mexican bf... Some of us do not forget the word illegal actually I say it and often and I do not agree on how some actions are being taken to solve this issue ,as well as on the american side as on the Mexican/ sud american side. To secure your borders is ok but the way some americans attack them and refer to them is unacceptable even those patrolling and shooting , or those who throw things to ppl while marching no matter what ppl are free to express themselves specially in USA , am I not right? You can not talk about 3er world mentallity and are just showing a bit of missinformation for you to know Mexico belongs to the 2nd world countries.Unfortunatly most of the ppl who cross are ppl who couldn´t really study much and americans do wrong by stereotyping every person cuz of a small group.Not all the ppl in USA have a first world mentallity I can tell I Live on a first world country. Anyway it is not a matter of pin pointing anyone it is a matter of making ppl understand on both sides that the best is to reach an agreement in which both sides will get benefits.

Actually, most Mexican imagrants are either Christian or Catholic. Therefore, they tend to have stronger moral than many born Americans.\n\nFYI: I was born in Brooklyn, NY. So I speak as a born American.

My friend Andrew currently lives in Mexico and is teaching English in business settings. I don't think he has changed citizenship, but he may be able to answer some questions for you. I'll link his myspace below!

I think eventually it will happen, though doubt in my lifetime.  I think we'd 'want' Canada first, but we might as well take Mexico first since most of them want to live here anyway ;)  Canadian's don't generally want to live in the US and pretty much see us as bully's.  Not sure what the general consensus is of Mexico, but the illegal immigration issues would suggest that they would support that idea.\n\n**  LOL  These answers cracked me up!  :)  We HAVE A donkey for president here in the USA - his name is Goerge W. Bush!  LOL  Nice one ;)

Mexico, they seem to be trying to turn America into Mexico. If I wanted to live in Mexico I'd move there.

Yeahhhh!  Let's be just like Mexico! That's something to aspire to.  I assume your point is that we shouldn't let Mexicans come across our borders because they don't let Americans in.  So basically, you're suggesting that we should adopt the social policies of a THIRD WORLD NATION!!

Im mexican, I dont really look it so I dont get confused very often.. but here is what you need to know.. central america was pretty much all one culture before the spanish came.. from yucatan (mexico ) to panama.. there were the mayans.. in central mexico there were aztecs and similar cultures.\n\nPeople who live in these places can tell you the others are sooo different, and the way they talk.. soo different.. but in a way is the same difference as americans say west and east coast people are so different.. \n\nBut to offend people by calling them mexicans when they are from guatemala is not because of their culture.. its because their national pride

Americans are how we from the United States are formally known throughout the world.  In my travels to England and Germany I always wrote my nationality as "American".  If I had written "United Statesian they would have laughed and asked me to correct it.  When Europeans refer to our country they call it "America".  No other country seems to have a problem with this but Mexico.  The misnomer "United Statesian" comes from the Spanish "estadounidense", an immigration term which replaced "norteamericano" ("North American, another incorrect immigration term for us).  \n\nMany Mexicans argue that Mexico is part of the American continent so they have the right to be called American too.  Well, they´ll run into problems if they travel out of the country if they put "American" as their nationality instead of "Mexican".  If you go to Europe you will never find a French person insisting that you call them "European".\n\nThis "United Statesian" ridiculousness is just a result of Mexico´s purported hatred of us, yet hypocrisy in their strive to be more like us by calling themselves Americans too.
