I do agree with you and also feel that its quiet frustrating for any American, but have you ever seen a Canadian or a European in a low class or a low level job? Its true that Mexicans get all the attention, its not because they are the neighbors, its because these people sacrifice and work for or in something that many people wouldn't do. If you would Go and check the restaurants or any place you find filth or dirt. you wont find an American or A European or A Canadian doing it...I hope you get the point!!

Really..Here we go again. If Americans are so fat and Lazy? Why IS that my family that are WHITE and AMERICAN. Do their own work..Work  Constitution, plumbing, roofing, remodel, and the list go on and on. Most of my uncles are in their in their 50's and STILL WORK AND THEY WORK HARD. NEVER WOULD THEY CONSIDER OF HIRING ANY MEXICANS OR ANY PEOPLE THAT DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. I OR MY FAMILY IS NOT FAT NOR LAZY. WE HAVE BUILD HOMES FROM THE GROUND UP. WITHOUT NO HELP FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT HAS NO IDEA EVEN HOW TO DRIVE A NAIL INTO A 2X. I AM SO SICK OF HEARING B/S LIKE THIS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT REAL WORK IS.

yes Mexicans are very family orientated.  and In general very hard working kind people.  It is amazing that in just one generation that Mexicans can come to this country with nothing and in 10yrs be home owners and contribute to society.  where blacks have had 200 years and sill live in ghetto, and mooch off the world

I would definitely choose the blacks.  The Mexicans come over here and deplete our food stamps, medicaid and everything else they can get their hands on that free. Then they have 13 children.  They are taking over.  And they have the nerve to fly our flag upside down.  They need to go home.  At least the blacks have American Pride.

Mewxicans,and sad to say,only cause they can tell them apart easier than they can europeans from americans.That sounds so racist,but it's true.I think all immigration officers suck.

Not going to work. Mexico will consider us racist by say "over Mexico" it has the connotation of being superior.

At least 95%. And the pro side is just as guilty of it as anyone else here, even though they deny it. "Oh, but Mexicans are such hard workers, have such strong family values," etc. Well, what about the 43% that ISN'T Mexican? It is easier though, to associate Mexicans with illegal immigration because they are the majority, because of the marches and the outspokeness of those who are Mexican or represent mostly Mexican people. Also because it's very easy for most to assume that if you speak Spanish, you must be a Mexican.

Have you evern seen the fields in California, in Arizona? Those people working under the hundred degree weather are all Mexicans, South Americans, Central Americans, probably undocumented. So far I have not seen an Anglo doing those jobs! How about construction? Those jobs are so dangerous, so hard to do! As for myself, I would not expose my life, my health, doing those tasks, for the cheap pay. Someone has to do it.\n\nWhat are my excuses? My allergies, my "education," my pride, you name it, I got it. I prefer to work in the shade, with "educated" people, with benefits. There's a lot of people like me... I love to buy my vegetables, my fruit, at a decent price. What will we do without immmigrants? The cost of everything will get so high it would not be affordable.\n\nAlso, when I travel, I like to find a clean bed in the hotel where I spend the night. I love to eat in restaurants too. Who do you think cooks that delicious Mexican or Chinese food you and I like? Who will be humble enough to clean the mess we Anglos make?\n\nOne more point: when I grow old, I want for those people who take care of me in the nursing home to be nice to me.

You mean Mexicans?  Yes, but why try?
834448
Yeah!  Most Americans do tolerate Mexicans.  It's the "illegal" ones we have a problem with.  If you see someone robbing a convenience store, would you call the police?  If you see someone kidnapping a child from a school yard, would you call the police?  So, why then, do millions of Americans stand by everyday and watch "illegal" aliens break the law?  The worst offenders are the people that hire them.  The people that rent houses to them.  And the people that harbor them.  Not only are you not reporting illegal activities, but by aiding and abetting, you are also committing a crime.  What part of the word "illegal" don't you people understand?  Oh, and we're not racists.  We always refer to illegal aliens as "illegal aliens".  Not Mexican, Korean, Guatemalan, etc.  It's the pro-illegals that keep bringing up "Mexicans".  So, who's the racist?

Mexicans will work for any amount of money, so what do you think?

Do you mean who would reap the benefits more. Of course the USA. Competition: If you don't have a college education you don't go far in this country. I don't see that as being a bad thing, more like a motivator. Geez! Don't yell. You should have said that in the first place. Politically USA more on Mexico.

The difference between a Mexican and a Central American is that they are from completely different countries.  People who are Mexican or people who decend from the country Mexico, which is located in North America.  People who are Central American decend from countries in Central America such as Ecuador or El Salvador, etc.  There's a huge difference and most Central Americans will be very offended if you call them Mexican, and vice versa.

Mexicans seem to be alone and excluded from the Hispanic race. I'm not going to lie I'm Puerto Rican and people in my family and some of our other Hispanic friends don’t see Mexicans as the same. I don’t know why they’re so discriminated against by other Hispanics. I have Mexican friends who will never admit to anyone what they are. It’s very sad. Hispanics can tell the difference but you can’t expect others to. Can you tell the difference between an African-Americans and Africans? Probably not. Can you tell the difference between Asians? Probably not. Same thing.

Another aspect is the intellectual capital that we get to import when we make immigration a simpler process for certain immigrants.  In other words, the U.S. gets smarter when we bring in smart people from other economies.

mm they come from all over mexico. All mexicans aren't the same. So diverse. Adjectives are relative
