i am a american and proud to say i have a perfect mexican wife,people from mexico work like all the first families of the new america had to work,---- very hard and for many hours ,now mexicans work  for very little pay,both in mexico and in the usa,mexican wifes respect the husbands as the head of the house,do american wifes?mexicans don't complain that they must work,nor do they wast money on stupid stuff, do americans? we have grown very lazy as a nation look around do i lie? their gov steals and lies has ours ever been caught at this?--by the way my wife must live in mexico because yes its very dam hard to get approval from immigration to be together,so may be i may have to be a immigrant worker their in mexico,but they will not be disrespectful to me because my government would not help me to have a better life, our gov like all are smoke and mirror's, its just a big game played by rich boy's with no concern for the life of the simple man  and the promise to represent and defend our rights ,its not about mexico can't anyone see past the propaganda look around the world every one is controlled by some one else-even CNN-ABC-BBC

i think this is a excellent question and their own people should demand answers from the mexican government they sure have demanded enough from us ! and every time someone asks a question like this regardless of what side it comes from you can hear crickets if they cant point their finger and say racist or what a stupid question when clearly it isn't  its like a robot  gone bad smoking saying can not compute you are a racist i think'' can not compute

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of them come for fun.   How fun is it to work in construction in the dead of summer, sweating your ass off for 10 hours a day? Sound fun to you? Or how about seeding someones lawn and cutting grass, and planting flowers out in the damn sun for 50 hours a week?  Wow that sounds like great fun to me!!!   Western Union is on fire, and has been since immigrants starting immigrating here years ago, know why? because that pay check the mexicans got on Monday tues wed thurs or friday is being wired to a bank in Mexico for their wifes, sisters, daughters, sons or grand children to pick it up.  Ever walked into a grocery store and saw Mexicans lined up at the customer service desk, they're sending their paychecks to mexico.  That's what they come here for.  Lets deport all mexicans shall we??  I guess you might as well not go out to dinner anywhere, forget Chili's, or Olive Garden or your favorite barbeque place, because if we deport them all, are you gonna go back there and make your dinner yourself? They make up all our restraunts, and those roads youre driving on to take you to work everyday, are being paved by  hard working mexicans because no fat lazy ass american wants to slave out in the hot sun for hours on end.    Granted, there's your stereotype mexican, who stares at women, and says things in spanish that you don't understand, but not every mexican is like that.  They honestly come here to make a living and LEAVE.  They dont' want to stay here.  This is foreign to them.   it takes time to save up money, and most of them work 40+hours a week.   Know why restraunts keep hiring mexicans even tho they are threatened every week by the immigration office, because they come to work, and on time, and work their butts off... Did you know that only 20% of americans come to work on time everyday of the week?  Yeah, 20% out of how many millions? I'm not a mexican advocate, I'm just saying, I've been witnessed to what is going on in america and how mexicans are treated, and americans are so SCARED they're gonna come and take their jobs.  Give me a break, have you seen an illegal alien becoming a lawyer, or a doctor... please...  they take the jobs we DONT WANT..so whats the big deal?  Let them come and make some money for their families.  More americans are on welfare than anywhere else, because they don't want to work.  So you hate Mexicans for wanting to make a better life?   \n\nDo you know what it costs to become a LEGAL resident of the United States? Thousands of dollars. I'm not talking about getting a green card and working a job part time and then coming back to Mexico, I'm saying... actually applying at the immigration department, and waiting..not to mention it takes up to 10 years to even get an answer. You all need to read up on your facts. Would you want to wait 10 years to get citizenship, would your kids wait 10 years to eat, because you couldn't get decent money in the country you're living in? They come here for the money. Not to take over our jobs, homes, and land. Get a clue.\n\nFrankly, I could care less. If we become a minority, so be it. Mexicans work harder, and longer than any white folk. I'm white, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't do half the jobs that mexicans do, for 3 bucks an hour. If you want something done, and DONE right, and not half-assed, then hire a mexican. They are always on time, they always put in more than required, and they always do a great job. Of course there's very few of them, that don't do a good job.. which is like a good portion of americans ( unemployment line is proof enough ). The way I look at it is.. If we can send troops over to IRAQ to make their government more civilized and feed other countries, etc... and all the lovely things we do for 3rd world countries, then by god we should go over to Mexico, and assist them with getting the mexican residents in mexico higher paying jobs. Their jobs over t

Wow, I knew they didn't tolerate illegal immigrants, but I had no idea they were that brutal.  Fox is a total hypocrite....and as for their police being corrupt that has been common knowledge for years.  I still don't know why the Mexican population still puts up with the corruptness.

Maybe if you have ever experienced racism you would see.It is not unfounded,I have seen questions like "do all mexicans have diseases?" And the "SWARM from Mexico....."These are things that some white ppl do not see as being derogatory.But I certaintly do.I have experienced it first hand ,all the time.Especially lately,wonder why.I had a job where I experienced daily.It sux.

I agree. Alot of people where I live really talk down Mexicans,haitians,ect. And I can say that just like all races,there are many uneducated,lazy people. However, if you open your eyes ( I live among many many Mexicans) they work quite hard. The woman who dont work bust their butts to care for the kids on their own and cook,I see them walking with groceries down the streeyt with babies in their arms. Thats hard work! Many of the men work hard out in the heat,even the "drunks" still are out there working. Too many people are just very judgemental about other races and like you said,THATS uneducated.

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.

I see your point.  I think that the worst phrase ever created was "politically correct". That phrase allows for any group of any kind to claim bias.  I know you are saying that the Mexicans are being held back, but I think they are winning.  They have made an effort to infiltrate this country and breed.  They are winning when our country is catering to their goal.  There are many Mexican activists that will plainly state that the goal of our southern neighbors is to take California.

This is very true, but the government is more focused on mexicans because A. They are a poorer country B. Mexicans have snuck illgal drugs over the border and C. The Natalee Holloway case hasn't helped many immagrents around the country. Basiclly, everyone is just afraid of new people and what they may bring to the U.S. I am not mexican, but i do believe that every human was made equally and everyone deserves a fighting chance. I agree that not all mexicans are bad, just the very few percentage that don't know how to deal with some problems. I mean, if you think about it, if you were a mexican dealing with an oppresive government (no offense) and poverty wouldn't you want a safe haven? I know i would try anything to get to the U.S. We in the U.S. have to understand what they are going through and put ourselves in their shoes. I totally agree on the fact that mexicans aren't the only immagrants. I just think the government is afraid of be overthrown or having another terroist attack. Though my ideas may not represent the american people, i still agree that this illegal crud needs to stop soon.

yes i do...a lot of them...and i'm not 'illegal' i'm an american mutt...i researched in hs i have 16 different nationalities in my tree...my branches are far spread...i don't think they are bad and sponging and free riders and classless!!!! i know hard working upstanding people!!!!! sure they aren't all good, but come on neither are 'americans'... i like your questions pancha! i think you are a very smart girl...and i don't know what nationality you are, but i am as my father says, half texan...and half 15 other nationalities...and if you can tell me that a texan isn't a nationality, then why the heck don't we just decide that mexican isn't either and start working with the issues, not against them. sorry, i don't agree with that idiot above me..we can and we do help all...we help them we help us we help other countries...i HATE the small mindedness narrow viewed of the big picture which is it's not a problem, it could be if handled properly a very profitable business...and look, some people are using that now....Americans are so lame...and yes, I am one! Born in San Diego!

would you people quit begging for bigger government & global authorities to solve all your percieved problems. its none of the un's business what happens here or anywhere else. thats why usa was formed remember? un shouldnt exist. mexicans have been the dominant culture & population in the south for the entire time the viande have been here. why are they such a problem? were you so worried about this 6 months ago or is this the product of the media blitz?

It's called 'white guilt'. Ken Hamblin, the radio personality, had a lot to say on this one, and there's a bit of truth to it...we've had decades of school teachers and politicians/other public figures who've walked around basically saying that 'whites are bad, this that, the other', and that we're supposed to pay for all this stuff for 'minorities' etc. Basically, the whole thing's a Big Shakedown. \n\nThe most racist man I've ever met in my life was big n black, and then I met his mexican cousin. Some people are assholes, got a major chip on their shoulder, and it's not the 'white man's fault.\n\nThe best fix for all of this is full, 100% border enforcement. Most of the people that come to america are doing so to seek honest work. It's those that aren't that have given everybody else a bad name, and frankly it's time to update the way the whole thing's going. I hate to throw the 9/11 card, but it has its' place in this debate, too, if ya don't know where people are from, or what they're doing in your country, how do you know they're not out there, plottin' something? We've got our own home-grown kooks, nuts, and freaks, we don't need imports...if all people were honest, hard-working(as the pro-immigration people keep trying to hype it), and good to their neighbors, there'd be no issue. Since that's not the case, there needs to be some immigration enforcement done. Balkanized communities that wall themselves in and don't speak a lick of english are unacceptable to most americans, we don't want to see mini-states that are led and funded by people from other countries, no matter how much revenue's involved. There is no payoff worthy of sacrificing That Which Is America, and americans won't stand by and see the country parceled off. If that means one less commercial food processing company, so be it. If that means your neighbor being slapped with a $500 fine for being too lazy to mow her own damn grass, so be it. The illegal alien thing needs to STOP. Mexico can tend the welfare and future of their own citizens, if they can't, for some reason, with their fairly robust economy, then they need reforms so that they CAN take care of their people. The population of Mexico is 1/3 that of the United States. They can 'si, se puede' in Mexico City, see what it gets em...

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?

I think that being awful or anything else depends individually in each person , not in their ethic group. And thinking that other people think this also depends in yourseft. You can't say that all American are awful, because that is not true. Just like you can't say all immigrants think this because that is also not true.
