A Mexican against the protest?
348435
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.

yes, because the people who are complaining are not just upset about spanish.  they dont want mexican food, they dont want mexican workers (who btw take on most of the jobs white americans hate and refuse to do).  so the debate would still be there, it would just be entirely in english

There is a group of Leftist Mexicans spewing propaganda, trying to make their people believe all their weird theories. It's just lately that people are starting to believe it. This group is trying to do what the Palestinians have done for years. In my opinion the Mexican people are too smart to take their bait.\n\nHey Savage, tell my friend Michael hi for me, and thank him for getting me to join the "Paul Revere Society"

It depends on what you would be planning to protest. They would probably apply the article 33 of the Mexican Constitution.

Does anyone other than me think it ironic that an illegal, waving the flag of their country of birth will protest for rights in America but not in their own country?

Yes.  It will help to associate the illegal alien cause with Mexico, and show how this is deeper than just the illegals.  We all need to examine the backgrounds of the leaders of the pro-illegals, and observe some of the racist, pro-secessionist rhetoric coming from these groups.  The cause most think they support is rights for illegals, but the ACTUAL cause of the leaders is socialistic and secessionistic.

Considering they are illegal, and not citizens, they have no rights and are not entitled to any freedoms in this country. Thusly, it is considered civil disobedience for them to protest. However, it would be considered profiling if law enforcement were to round up Hispanics in a protest, based on assumption of their legal status.

immigration. well i am full blooded Mexican American. my father was in Vietnam, grandfathers in world war II, I struggle to get to pay bills. hard to find a decent job. but i manage and tell my daughter how great this country is every day. It angers  me to see Mexican nationals go to the grocery store, pay for there food, complain about sale priced items only to pay with food stamps and then to see them load it up in there escalade, or other brand new car. but yet there plates still show Mexico. they only come to complain about our society. but yet will mooch off it as much as possible. well Monday they are to do a strike. if any one is in position to fire anyone, then get those illegals and people that should remember just where you live. freedom is not free. and my family as well as many other families fought and gave life for this freedom. don't throw that though away just for people who don't deserve it. if you are American citizen, then do your part and go to work. remember where you came from and remember why people want to come to this country. long live the USA

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?

There are SO many I respect on immigration.....YET do not agree with.  \n\nYou mentioned DAR.....he is perhaps the only one who isn't 100 percent one sided.  By that I mean so Pro he can't see Con....or likewise.  \n\nI love the passion of some of these people.  I wish this passion could be bottled and sent to DC.  That is the only place we (any of us) are going to make a difference.\n\nAlso....my stance on holding the employers responsible has never wavered.  If you choose to call these people felons....well than you damn well better call the employers felons.  \n\nStill everyone uses the race card....that is not significant in this crisis......until you get a poster who says...."Because a Mexican did this to me.....or because I lost my job to a wet back".  Well than how do we not expect racism and call it out. \n\nGood question.....I probably could have answered better....but I happen to be one of those "bleeding hearts" that get posted about so often.\n\nPeace

The wrong one can be determined on whom the people will publicly protest against.

Absolutly making it worse!!!  Just like the terriorists are making it worse for Muslims.  They say all muslims aren't terriorists but all terriorists are muslim.  All Mexicans aren't members of the Atzlan/Reconquista crowd but all members are Mexican.  The legal families as well as illegal who do not agree with them are "collateral damage" in their broad scheme.  Why else would 2 non-english speaking students beat the crap out of another who did?  Why would a fellow Mexican get drug out of his car and beaten during a Mexican holiday for having an American flag on his car?  Why would another have scalding coffee thrown in his face because he was against amnesty?  Why do they make it a "race" thing when the head of the Minutemen in Il. is latino?  Other Minutemen are latino.  Where was the race card when 2 Mexican-American  border patrol agents are being unjustly punished for doing their job?  The American people are behind them.  They'll support Elvira who is breaking the law and leave their own out to dry for supporting the law.  They are playing the language card to further cause a rift and seperation of people.  Even when people who learn Spanish to try and communicate...it's not the "right" Spanish....it has to Mexican Spanish.  Anything and everything to push everyone who isn't Mexican out of the picture.  How well do you think a Korean-American is going do speaking the Mexican version of Spanish?  Sorry.....but no.....they are doing incrediable damage.  Their hate and their agenda is far louder and having more impact on the American people than anything.

Good point! I totally agree with you. And another thing that stumps me is when thy go around waving the mexican flag. I thought they wanted to be Americn citizens.

I don't think illegals of other nationalities realize that Mexican illegals are only protesting for other Mexican illegals.\nIt seems they care only for themselves. Not their host country or their country of origin.

Mexicans hate mexican blacks (yes there are some), mexicans don't know anything about American blacks. So he is just another dumb mexican pointing stupid bias false ideas.

I'm not against immigration, but illegal is just that. When the boycott moved here, the people got fired, illegal and legal alike for not showing up at work. They say the immigrants are taking jobs the locals don't want, but I spent 4 months begging for work and I have experience picking in the fields.\n   I agree that they are protesting to the wrong government.

My friend does because supposedly he burned the Mexican Flag.  Because he was tired of being compared to Mexicans even though he is Puertro Rican.
