to me, an American is a person who has the right to say and do what they need to do to protect their country. if that means telling the mexicans to get the hell out of my country than so be it. i am an American an proud of it.

I definitley think we should take strong action to stop this from happening. It won't be too long and we'll be the minority. It's like the US is just saying, hey come here and take our country from us. While your at it, fly only mexican flags and speak only spanish, so us americans will have to learn it. It's such a sensitive subject, but I hear so many mexicans saying they're not being treated fairly or equally, well no kidding, more than half of them are illegal. If they love mexico soo much, then go back!!!! Besides it makes me really uncomfortable when a group of mexican guys stare at my friends and i and talk amongst themselves. what the h e l l are they saying?

Amariak and Silver Pipes,  This is what I have to keep reminding you TRESPASSERS about.  This is America and WE have freedom of speech, if you don't like what we have to say, GOOD.  GO HOME.  You are hated.  You are not wanted here.  You are a pestilence.  Silver Pipe, how the hell are illegals doing anyone a favor?  You people say the most stupid garbage and almost nothing that you say is based on fact and you stupidly try to debate.  Thank you for proving my point that MOST NOT ALL Mexicans are very uneducated, and unintelligent , freeloading garbage.

Because people hate what they don't know. It's really sad to see Americans say some things they do on here. It shows just how narrow minded we can be. It's a disgrace, and they're the ones who probably claim to be the most patriotic. Which is nothing but bs. Part of what makes this country so great is the diversity. Instead of such racism, they should show an eagerness to learn.

While I can't speak for everyone who has said a negative comment about Mexicans, what I can say is two things..\n\n1) Everyone has stereotypes, even you.  You gave a perfect example when you said, "have you ever been here? (besides the border to get drunk)"  Wow!  Do you want to be the pot or the kettle?\n\n2) How do you know a comment was derived from a stereotype and not from personal experience?\n\nWhen you're trying to make a point, try not to be a hypocrite in the process.

I understand the point you are making with this question, even if most who answered you did not.  You're saying, "Why is the USA considered so 'bad' by everyone for wanting to defend our borders and keep illegal immigrants out, when every other country in the world defends their borders and nothing seems to be said about it?"  In fact, most of the other countries of the world are extremely harsh to illegal immigrants - often to the point of shooting to kill as they find them.  Mexico, for one, is far stricter on their southern border than the USA is and if you are found in that country illegally you will be subject to terrible things if you weren't shot to death, including imprisonment, possibly raping, beating, theft and bribery, etc.  Yet, even Mexico feels it has a right to tell the USA to let Mexicans come into the USA illegally or however they want to!  Give me a break!  I agree with Diaboyos' answer here, too.

Don't worry about these idiots! They are hypocrites by using the word illegal! I bet half these people use some drugs of some kind or have broken the law!  All they can do is sit here and bicker amongst themselves about how much of a "threat" illegals are ! That's all they can do! Talk is cheap! They should go complain to the government for their insecurities! Illegals don't bother me the least bit, because they have in no way threatened my job or well being! The ones that I know are on no kind of public assistance or using any stolen ss numbers! I have more important things to worry about, like a morgage and my job and family!

THANK YOU! \n\nmy fiancee just said this to me yesterday...mexico is supposed to be "sooo bad" but they sure as hell are not hesitant to act like they still live there...\n\na "respected" principal here in houston even had the audacity to fly the mexican flag alongside the texas and united states flag at his high school...the nerve of some people...one would think that american citizens are the criminals and that we are infringing upon on "their rights"...\n\nmexico is profiting from our downfall...

dear mexican woman...your english is VERY bad (not surprising). Our military is high-class, and the TRUE americans of this country put you and your dirty people to shame (I'M NOT SPEAKING OF ALL MEXICANS; JUST THE ONES WHO COME OVER HERE ILLEGALLY AND REFUSE TO GET JOBS, PAY TAXES, AND OBEY THE LAW)! Don't think for one minute that this will one day be over-run by Mexicans. Keep up the rough talk, and eventually our government will get tired of it, pack you all up in a box car and ship your free-loading asses back to MEXICO!

Of course we know that there are many immigrants from many countries besides Mexico. America is the great melting pot. The topic is ILLEGAL immigrants though. I am sure that we have them from all countries also. What do we hear the most though? We hear about the ILLEGAL Mexicans walking over the border. Yes we have another country bordering us...but when was the last time you heard about an ILLEGAL Canadian walking over the border? I am not saying it doesn't happen. The media pretty much only discusses the Mexicans.\nAs far as persons who say things to you because you are Hispanic....unfortunately that is just life. There are ignorant people everywhere. Fortunately for you....you know that you are a citizen. You went and got a degree, a job, and pay taxes. That's what you are supposed to do. \nI just want to know something. You get all offended about people talking about Mexicans....yet you called Americans lazy. You do know that you are an American right?

Consider that we are letting people into our country via Mexican border that want to honestly kill us! There is no way to monitor the vast amount of people pouring into our borders every day!These people need to be fed and housed and I have seen people receive WIC cards that I know were illegals! Diversity is a wonderful thing IF you are legal! If not, go home and try to make your country great. Take the example of the American people and do what they did...struggle to make this country what it is! Demand change! We cannot afford to pay with our lives and safety of our citizens since our national security is at stake. If you really want to become an American you need to learn the language which is ENGLISH! Do not expect to have your own language here and have people  accommodate you! If my ancestors did it ...you can too! If you are not willing to learn the language of a country you do not deserve to be a citizen of that country! We are a blend of the BEST of the whole world , we only want the best the world has to offer. You have to show you are a person who respects the laws of this country before you will be welcomed in as one of us! This means no running over the borders!

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!

What is the point of spitting so much hatred and nonsense??? And yes it is coming from others as well on both sides of the issue. But you are generalizing the issue and all Americans. They never asked me if they could go to war in Iraq or permission for any of the other issues you stated. And yes I do speak out to my representatives regarding things i disagree with.\n\nNo one is perfect, and obviously the US has created an envious society and quality of life.  Many of the things you mentioned are a result of aggression not started by the USA. If we did not use the bomb, there would have been a lot more deaths than there was in Japan! And you may notice it has never been used after WW2 in such a scale! \n\nWe have an idiot President with an IQ of 90, on that I think we can all agree. And I do not agree with the war in Iraq.  We are there like it or not, but the people of the USA do not want to subjugate the people of Iraq or anywhere else in my opinion. So let's do what we can and get out of there.\n\nI am all for immigration and helping other countries improve their economy and lives. You must see that the illegal immigrants are being used as a tool in a grander scheme by those in power with wealth. The layman, all of us in the working class just want those coming here to respect the land we work hard for and take pride in every day.  \n\nI really do not understand where your hatred of people in the USA comes from, perhaps you have been mistreated somehow?  If you really feel that way, it may be best to live somewhere else for a while as abscense make the heart grow fonder...  \n\nYou talk about Whites taking lands and such. Well don't you think the Indians would have wiped out all Europeans coming here if they could? Is that right for them to do?  The ones you should be complaining about are the Spaniards, and maybe you dont notice but the decendants of the Spanish rulers are still in power and subjugating the Mexicans. So if you have a beef with Europeans from centuries ago I suggest you deal with them in Mexico, bcs the people of the USA have moved on since the 19th century!!!1\n\nI would like to hear your view in a rational way and understand why you have those opinions....

Cause mexicans are not really dangerous.. all they want to do is to stay hidden and work \n\nBut terrorists need to be taken care of

The only reason some Americans think Mexicans are the only ones crossing our border is because that's the impression Mexico gives. \n\nEven when we announce our THOUGHTS about securing our border to keep Islamic terrorists out, Mexico comes unglued and yells out that no one is coming across except young, strong, hardworking Mexicans just looking for a better life.  Then accuse us of wanting to secure our border for racist reasons, that we're greedy and don't want to share our wealth with Mexico.\n\nSo listening to Mexico what's a person to think?
