yes there lots of hispanic americans remember the alamo where we took the land from mexico? lot of those people stayed when the new border was established so they were actually here before you were. so next time you call one of them a wet back just stop and think he just might be more of a citizen than i'm myself.

When the German, Irish, Italians came in the 19th the native blame them for stealing jobs. Mexicans being accused is no different.  The difference now is that we have immigration rules, and laws back then thier was none.

I agree 100% I am not an immigrant. Illegals and their supporters are trying to divert attention to the fact that THEY shouldn't be complaining. i don't mind hearing an opposing view point from an American . but I do not want to hear negativity from a person that shouldn't be here in the first place.

I'm sick of people defending the Mexican invasion by saying "are YOU a Native American?" \n\nThe natural progression/ regression/ aggression of the world is change of power and control. EXACTLY LIKE IN ROME, and in London (once Londinium) and the USSR, and in every other part of the world.\n\nThe Native Americans were not a strong enough, unified force. They could not stop Europeans from taking over their lands. So it was forfeited. That is what happens in the world, that's what has happened ALL throughout history.\n\nNow, the Mexican invasion will more than likely change power and control of this country. Except for this time, we are not weak and ununified. We are just afraid of stepping on toes, and being called inhumane, or racist. We have the ability to fix this problem (we have for many years) but we CHOOSE not to. We'll probably be the first country EVER whose government allowed themselves to be taken over by another country without putting up a fight.

You're exactly right.\n\nLand has been fought over for centuries and the land was divided up before most anyone in the world alive today was born so get over it.  It's not your land.  It's the government's land and God's land b/c everything on Earth belongs to God.\n\nNo one deserves more land.  You're stuck w/ what you got.  Get over it.  The Mexicans don't deserve more land anyway.  They're sending all of their population over to America.  Mexicans fighting immigration laws - America should start a protest - We invade their land for a change - lol\n\nBesides, some of the Mexican tourist destinations are already unsafe like Cancun, Mexico...They are just greedy...\n\nAnother thing...\nPeople say Americans are greedy when we don't give other countries money.  We help out more countries and give the most money to others in the WORLD.  Nobody should say America is greedy b/c we aren't...We earned what we have and that's the end of it.\n\nRich People:\nWhy should rich people have to pay more taxes per dollar than the rest of us.  If they earned what they have, they deserve it...They're living the American Dream...If they inherited their riches, I don't think they deserve it.\n\nThere's some insight for you.

I know several people from Mexico, and they are proud to be Mexican. Yet people from Mexico dislike being called Mexicans in a context which indicates them as being stupid, incompetent, or "lesser" than another person or race (wouldn't you?). This is especially common in the United States. It's not right, but it happens nonetheless.

Mexico wants to get rid of their poor. They personally don't care where they go just as long as they leave and send money back. These are very uneducated people and a major a drain on the Mexican society as they are on ours. Americans are very misinformed if they think our government, corporate America and small businesses like these people. Mexican serve a purpose and caring about them has nothing to do with it.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

The skin color doesn't bother me. It's because Mexicans always smell like that flowery washing detergent sh*t, live about 20 deep in a small house, don't believe in health or car insurance, like having about 7 or 8 kids per family and exploiting our government aid, don't mind working 3 or 4 jobs instead of demanding a living wage, and are extremely adamant about not amalgamating with our American culture like speaking English and showing  respect to OUR American flag. I see mexicans all the time hanging the mexican flag in the United States on their homes. Take your ass back to mexico then. No other culture really does that but the hispanics..mostly mexican. I don't feel feel sorry for the mexicans. Blacks have had it a lot harder than you and should deserve way more than you. Mexicans have been given way more than they ever have and whine more than they do, and yet still you think we owe you something.

I don't know why there is all this hatred towards Mexicans-what have they done?

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

Mexicans dont come here to become "Americans".    They think the land was stolen from Mexico, and is rightfully theirs.  They see us as an occupying force.   They don't respect our laws, and they don't want to learn english.  They are not here to intigrate into american culture (or assimulate), they are here to take over thru shear numbers over time.   A million here, a million there, and overtime they will become the majority in some areas.  They will be the power, and americans are too damn dumb to stop them.    \n\nWhine, whimper, boo hoo...but we can't deport 30 million...sniffle...people.   You guttless wimps!!!  why can't we?   Why can't  we at least try instead of whining like a bunch of sissyboys.    We can do anything we put our minds too and nothing is impossible.  \n\nKick those bean eaters out and make them come back legally.

Great question.  I agree with you.  Mexicans were allowed to protest and NO ONE tried to stop them but the Minutemen assembled PEACEFULLY and they were threatened and abused.  Hmmm a little strange.  In Arizona, a mexican national raised his mexican flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property.  An American student took it down and burned it.  Here is my issue: the white kid is in trouble.  BUT hanging another country's flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property is an ACT OF WAR.  But the mexi isn't in trouble.  hmmmmmmmm I think we should react appropriately

I myself am not American, nor do i have anything at all against America - however; i will say that i have noticed that MANY  (NOT ALL!) American people tend to believe they are "above" people from most other countries - including Mexican Immigrants.  This attitude, i believe, has little or no basis in fact but has far more to do with the leaders of America.  The arrogant attitude comes right from the top; was it not America its very self that created the notion of "the American Dream" ?!  If the leaders of their country have an arrogant attitude& think they're better than the rest then its little wonder that the same principles and ways of thinking have been taken on by so many (it seems) American people.  I noticed in your question you are very passionate about your cause, which i do commend you for but would urge you to not fight a losing battle.  As i said i doubt it has anything to do with your people(it seems from your question that you yourself are mexican immigrant) personally, politically or anything else if the truth be known - it probably IS that Americans can be very arrogant and just automatically believe they're better than everyone!  (i am in no way against american people; i actually have family there!  And im certain that there are plenty of undesirable British traits - im british!- that i could sit here and take apart!!!)  In short i suppose what i'm saying is: don't worry about it; it's not you with the problem-it's them!!!!(oh; and yes-immigrants DO contribute a lot to america; to its economy,workplace ....)

Calling us racist just because we are against illegal aliens being in our country is completely absurd.  If they don't like us they really should consider going back across the border where they truly belong. Americans shouldn't have to change to make them happy, or feel welcome.  It's not our responsibility.  THEY aren't our responsibility.
