THIS is DEEP!  Why does the government make things so hard for the Mexicans and Indians and Blacks?

Because America eats its young. Our system is designed so that someone needs to be exploited so that someone else can gain. Those being exploited so far have been "minorities" and the poor. Nowadays, however, it seems that the powers that be are color-blind and exploit ALL Americans(expect the rich ones). Then, they make us blame each other (immigrants, "lazy" minorities); Divide and Conquer...

the british government cant sort nothing out these days and will let any family wether black / white live in poverty. these hostals were made just for the homeless coloured people. there are hostals also for the british people meaning (mixed races). i know how it seems and i agree with what someone else said. that the coloured people may also feel uncomfortable living in these places and being singled out. im sure if given the chance and the choise they would rather be mixed together in a normal community. what is however unfair is how they are financed. and again this is because of the government not wanting to be classed as a racial run government. the whole of the government is going down the pan fast. but who are we. theres nothing any one can do.

I agree. Alot of people where I live really talk down Mexicans,haitians,ect. And I can say that just like all races,there are many uneducated,lazy people. However, if you open your eyes ( I live among many many Mexicans) they work quite hard. The woman who dont work bust their butts to care for the kids on their own and cook,I see them walking with groceries down the streeyt with babies in their arms. Thats hard work! Many of the men work hard out in the heat,even the "drunks" still are out there working. Too many people are just very judgemental about other races and like you said,THATS uneducated.

This is actually a problem that has been going on across Latin America (Mexico, Nicauragua, Honduras, Peru, etc) for a very long time, and the reason the USA never seems to do anything is because as each of these nations changes its government from pro-US to anti-US to pro-US again, changes our official response to the action. When the government doesn't like us, this is the crime of the millenium, but when it goes back to liking us we tend to forget about it (Nicauragua, as an example). It doesn't seem to matter who is in charge of these countries, the indigenous people always seem to get the short end of everything.

I have the solution! Give this land back to it's right full occupants!From the very day that the white man stepped on our shores,he began to pollute the land,air and waters,use up all the natural resources.The gov. decided it would be a better life for the Indians to live on a reservation.And when the Indians resisted they began the slaughter of the men,women and children of our Great Indian Tribes!All in the name of "progress" you see if anyone has the right to be upset over the immigration laws,it surely should not be "the white immigrants"

The entire mexican system is based on race.\n\nThe political leaders are the pure spanish elete.\n\nThe workers are half-breed mix of spanish and native (aboriginal) peoples.\n\nThe Indians (natives) sell chicklets on the street.\n\nThe rich American Indians should try to do something to help their brothers to the south.

It is happening more and more-and people are putting the pressure on Government and Sates.\n It is going to get tougher for Illegals as time goes by.\n\nWe are going to hear a lot of sour grapes.

Cause: Mexican government corruption keeping people poor while they live like fat cats, Mexicans see opportunity for better wage and ability to support families, Big money corporations exploiting people on both sides,  Federal government lax in enforcing immigration and customs laws,\n \nEffect: driving down wages and creating a larger separation between rich and poor. Racism and fear on the rise, lack of faith in the government, despair, poverty, hunger and resentment.

Inthe first place Zapatistas are against the Mexican government because they are the white people fromn Mexico that control the wealth.Zapatistas are mostly of Mexican Indian blood. The Mexican government does not want to take care of their own poor.They want the USA  to take care of the poor from Mexico. That way they do not have to use their own money.\nNext if you think Mexico is goig to get Texas you are full of cuacha.Mexico could not even take the island of Granada.. If Mexico tried to take Texas,Texas would not even call the military.\nJust the citizens Of Texas would kick Mexico"s ass.

i think this is a excellent question and their own people should demand answers from the mexican government they sure have demanded enough from us ! and every time someone asks a question like this regardless of what side it comes from you can hear crickets if they cant point their finger and say racist or what a stupid question when clearly it isn't  its like a robot  gone bad smoking saying can not compute you are a racist i think'' can not compute

Because it is a lot harder for Africans to get here since they have an ocean to swim across, not just a river and a border to jump on foot.  Also, they are truly more poor than Mexicans and Central Americans, so they don't have any money to even attempt to cross over illegally, whereas the Mexicans and Central Americans do, even the poor ones can scrape a few pesos and limperas together to buy food and bribes on their way up.

I'm considered as part of the "minority" group...but if and when minorities and people of color take over our government in a complete sense, it will be a living hell. These people have freedom and yet, they continue to live in the past. They have to shut up and let it go. Let's keep things the way they are. We are better off this way!

There is really no way to explain why except to say that the government of mexico is totally concerned with what others are doing at the cost of it's own people. It is the type of government that would rather keep more than half of it's people below poverty and at the same time have legislative meeting to petition the American government to allow criminals to walk free in American society. The government of mexico and the people who put them there are NOT accepted as a world class country for just that type of reason.

This is very true, but the government is more focused on mexicans because A. They are a poorer country B. Mexicans have snuck illgal drugs over the border and C. The Natalee Holloway case hasn't helped many immagrents around the country. Basiclly, everyone is just afraid of new people and what they may bring to the U.S. I am not mexican, but i do believe that every human was made equally and everyone deserves a fighting chance. I agree that not all mexicans are bad, just the very few percentage that don't know how to deal with some problems. I mean, if you think about it, if you were a mexican dealing with an oppresive government (no offense) and poverty wouldn't you want a safe haven? I know i would try anything to get to the U.S. We in the U.S. have to understand what they are going through and put ourselves in their shoes. I totally agree on the fact that mexicans aren't the only immagrants. I just think the government is afraid of be overthrown or having another terroist attack. Though my ideas may not represent the american people, i still agree that this illegal crud needs to stop soon.

There are alot of prejudice people in this world; it's always been that way. But we are a separate country from Mexico so we must have laws and they must abide by them. If we'd go to someone else's country, we'd have to abide by their laws. I totally agree that what the "white" people did to the Native Americans was terribly wrong.

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!
