alot of AMERICANS could do those jobs if paid a resonable wage (i.e. not 4.50 an hour)\n\nThere are a lot of unemployed American people looking for a job, but not at slave wages

Hell, we got outside help in fighting the English for our independence.  One of my ancestors was a German with money who came over during the revolution and fought against the English.  After the war of independence, he decided to stay and married one of my direct ancestors who's family had already been in the colonies for 100 years. Sorry, I digress!\n\nSo you see, this help thing can work both ways. If you want off on Cinco De Mayo, you first have to get a Mexican to acknowledge they got help from the US against the French.   Do you think that's possible??? \n\nBoy, these Mexicans who still have jobs must have money to burn, if they can afford to take off work two days in one week, so they can attend their Mexican holidays.  I wonder if they will be waving the American flag to show their loyalty to the US on that day???

If you meant intelligent beings from another planet:\n\nNo way! The government would take him off to Area 51 and dissect him or something. As long as beings from other planets don't do anything wrong, why would I? Arguably the alien could be doing something bad like plotting to take over the planet, but I don't think I would tell unless he was actually going to cause harm. \n\nIf you meant illegal Mexican immigrants:\n\nNo way! The government would take him off to a holding area and ship him back to Mexico or something. As long as beings from other nations don't do anything wrong, why would I? Arguably the alien could be doing something bad like plotting to take an American's job, but I don't think it matters because why does an American have more right to a job than a Mexican?

Who stated that white people were afraid of Mexicans?  That's an awfully big leap of thought you have. ;p

You pose an interesting question, though it’s a little peculiar. If “white people” took the Native’s land, it seems that they would have the best understanding of the consequences that “taking” land leads to. Thus, your question actually answers itself. “White people’s” fear would logically follow from an understanding of the consequences that may come about.\n\nWith that said, I’d like to make a few other quick points. You repeatedly used the term “white people”, and it seems that you are trying to suggest this is a “white person” issue. That’s completely unfounded. For one, there are plenty of Americans of all skin colors and cultures that oppose illegal immigration, to include Americans of Mexican ancestry. Also, most “white” Americans oppose all illegal immigration, including illegal immigrants from “white” European nations. So this is not an issue of color at all, and I hope that you can see that.\n\nYou also mention in your comments that “white people” took the land from the Native’s but you fail to mention that so did other countries. First Spain “took” it, and then later Mexico “took” it. You say that California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas belonged to them, but you fail to mention that Mexico actually “took” these areas from the “Natives” first. This further shows that this has nothing to do with “white people”. In fact, with few exceptions the majority of warfare throughout all of human history has involved the “taking” of land from people who were there first. This happened in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, and it usually had nothing to do with skin color. When Africans fight Africans over land, they are also “taking” the land from someone else who had it first. It shows ignorance to speak of Africa as if it were unified just because the majority of the population shares the same skin color. The same goes for every other country or civilization throughout history. The “Natives” fought other “Natives” and “took” the land. What makes you think that a given “Native” tribe didn’t take the land from other “Natives” at some point in history? We know that warring tribes did this all of the time. The color designation is completely irrelevant and is therefore inappropriate.\n\nOne last point is that most Americans, including “white people”, have no problem with people coming to the U.S. legally. The issue revolves around legal entry into the country, and has nothing to do with the ethnic background of the person. The United States has the right to control its borders. Indeed, it must control its borders. The Mexicans that want to come to the United States usually want to come to get a job. However, if there were no controls on the number of people who could come into the United States there would be tragic consequences. Do you think that if ten million Mexicans came to the United States next month that the U.S. economy would be able to support them? All of the people working in lower income jobs would end up suffering because of simple supply and demand labor economics. The more workers that there are the less they need to be paid. So it makes sense for “white people” as well as every single other American to oppose illegal immigration. Tens of thousands of people of Mexican ancestry come to the U.S. legally every year, and we’re happy to have them.

Will the Mexican invaders pack up and go back to Mexico from having a guilty conscience ? \nNo, no guilty conscience.\n\nWill Western Union stop bleeding the Great U.S.A. by sending money to Mexico ?\nNo, it is great business for them.\n\nWill Vicente Fox share his wealth ?\nNo way, actually the children of his wife are stealing even more than him, and no, they won't share either.\n\n Will Mexico stop being poor and corrupt ? \nYes. If there is cooperation with the US, this can happen in six years.\n\nWill Mexicans stop speaking the language of the people that conquered them ? \nWe are mixed, we will speak both Spanish and native dialects.\n\nWill a border be built that is serious about security ? \nNo.\n\nWill President Bush not be influenced by his Mexican born sister in law ?\nNo.\n\n Will the U.S.A. grow up and have a real immigration policy ?\nNo.\n\n Will the U.S. have a non Hispanic attorney general ?\nNo, for the next three years.

Since your all more or less brainless (or just hate digging up the facts).\n\nyesterday was a day without an immigrant, not an illegal.\n\nCinco (not Cinque, thats French) de Mayo is the 1862 Battle of Puebla where the Mexicans said Goodbye to the French Army under the power of Napolean. It has nothing to do with raping women and celebrating a country that failed them, it has to do with winning an epic battle against what was the strongest army in the world.\n\nOh, and if Mexico had not beaten the French, the USA would have been split down the middle forming two countries to avoid the massive expanse of power that was happening, and the rest of the world forces feared for the other powers. A bit like today really.\n\nSo for once, you can say Thanks to the Mexicans, because they saved your arse.\n\nSo please stop being so dumb. Please. Your all embarrasing yourselves. And for your info, its not a day off either.\n\nAnd i find it totally ironic that after telling the Mexicans to bugger off home, you now want to celebrate theyre holiday. How stupid can you be?

Mexican will overthrow their corrupt government, and will adopt a democrat government similar to U.S. And they will patrol the border so Mexican could left illegally. And they make their country a higher stardard of living so no one wants to leave.

It's just going to negatively effect the illegal immigrants...oh, and the Catholic Church's offering plate, oh, and the spanish language newspaper, radio and TV channels...and maybe we would only have a McDonald's every four or five blocks instead of every two. I could live with that!

Because we wouldn't have the guts to ask and they definitely wouldn't pay. The Mexican government encourages it poor to come here by whatever means necessary to relieve it's responsibilities to it own people.

Sounds great to me! Except that will never happen. I'm not waiting for Mexico to do anything. Vicente Fox is probably laughing, sitting in his mansion with a strawberry margarita, a plate of hot enchiliadas, a few taco's, and carne asada burrito from Taco Bell, watching as his poor citizens run for OUR border!

Doubt it.  We'll have to "put on a show of force" with Iran before long, and all the little illegal Mexicans can carry on with whatever the hell they were doing.

We should, but it wont happen.  The Mexican government can't provide needed service to its poor people that is why they headed north to the US where they can got free medical, free services.

Very well said. If we Americans took the day off, then the illegals would not have anywhere to buy beer, gas, or any opportunities to gawk at us American women. I garuntee that might aid in causing them to go back to their homeland.

Nothing, maybe Mexico will start taking care of their own people and not encouraging them to coming up to the United States.

It would be "Do what you want" day. and people would be able to do things that normally they don´t do because they afraid of been criticized. Of course without hurt anybody in any way(hurt, kill, steal,etc)

I'm not sure, but I know this...in Mexico, if you're an illegal and you get caught, they bus or fly you back to your country of origin.  In 2004, the Mexican government deported over 200k illegal immigrants that streamed in from their southern border with Guatemala.  If Fox thinks open borders is such a wonderful thing, perhaps Mexico might consider drinking a little of their own Kool-aid.
