What deep issues do the racists have that get crystallized in their virulent hate for Mexican immigrants?

The Racists have to focus on an object that they feel is inferior to them to make themselves fell superior.  That is one; secondly they need a reason to say that they are alright and that their failures in life have been brought on by some one that is not of their belief. Thirdly they mostly come from a very low educational back ground with little or no tolerance to others around them mostly out of fear.\n\nNow on the legal Immigrates, pretty basic, because they work harder for less pay.  Not always better labor, but the economics escape me right now. But I would say give me a group of 5 Mexicans over 10 white boys any day for the same job.  They will not only learn the trade, but ask questions and work extra hard to learn more. I have been the only white boy in a welding group and I was called a good Mexican, I was proud that they accepted me and some times that was a little too weird for me at times.  But I loved working with those guys I learned a lot, not much Spanish because they wanted to learn English.

Prejudice, stereotyping and racism are everywhere, in every country. Read the news in Germany, Australia or anywhere else and you'll find that people generally exhibit negative behavior to anyone who is different. \n\nIn this country racism has had a long history. From the treatment of the natives by the Conquistadors, to the waves of white immigrants from Europe killing off and displacing the Native Americans, to waves of Italians, Irish, Chineese and many others who have been unwelcome when they arrived. It's in our programming. It takes a sincere desire to do what is just for people to work past this conditioned response.\n\nEven people who aren't overtly racist often have suspicion towards those who are different, like a burning ember in their hearts. Given any reason the ember spings into a fire and they justify their behavior based on the most flimsy and illogical of arguements.\n\nAre they illegal -you betcha. Should they be allowed to break the laws -no. BUT if we are to cry for justice, and not be hippocrites THEN we have to deal with the whole issue. Why the heck haven't companies that knowingly recruit illegal immigrants been closed down? Its no secret. We know the big companies involved. Don't want to hurt the economy, pay higher prices or mess with your profit margins? You can't have it both ways. \n\nAnd that's the problem. Because there are huge amounts of money in play by these industries that depend on illegals, and because money equals power, the issue has not been resolved. You want the benefit of cheap illegal labor? Then they deserve some basic human rights. You don't think so? Then instead of poking at the illegal immigrants, show how serious you are by attacking the rich powerful industries that use them in court and with boycotts; tackle the officials who protect these industries when it is important to their districts, or when lobbyists offer money to sympathetic congressmen to help maintain the status quo. Why talk about illegals 'not being tough enough to stand up to their own governments and coming here to protest' when you attack illegals but don't have the nerve to stand up or pay the price for the abuses by American companies.

because they need something to hate....because their lives are pathetic and they need drama to keep their worlds going round?....because they are ignorant....the hating that you see towards Hispanics or Latinos is no different from the hate that is going on any where else in the world to any other race or any other sex or creed or religon for that matter....it is still hate....and I am sorry it is there....I wish it weren't....then we could all watch star trek and smoke a bowl together

The same little racist clique that is obsessed with bashing Mexicans post several questions daily.

Its not a Mexican issue with me--its a legal issue and a environment  and a budget issue. \n\nAnd many get angry on both sides and say things they most likely don't mean.

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

Education, non discriminative programs. Value programs where everyone is the same, with equal rights. As a mexican I felt upset to see someone burning the mexican flag, and more uspet to see no one did anything about it, when mexicans or not mexicans we all are human beings that deserve respect and dignity.\n\n   More conscience in society, to see how immigrants are helping to grow the nation, the fact there is a lack of status doesn´t make them criminals, many people with legal status do crimes and they are still living there, most immigrants are good people that want another kind of life.\n\n    -Is it legal to discriminate people in the US?\n    -Is it fair to judge them by their status?\n    -Why stop good people that are making a social difference? \n    -Who is afraid of immigrants to take their places?\n    -Why is more concern about mexicans than central americans?\n    -Why attack the weak, and not attack those who really deserve to be out of the country?

John and Ken have this trauma from when their moms molested them. The same goes for all Mexican haters.

This coming from a Mexican? \nYou are right. As bad as every other Mexicans hate to admit, US has the right to secure their borders for the safety of their citizens\nIt is true that lack of education adds to poverty and social problems. No, you are not racist, you are just a concerned citizen voicing your thoughts, like many others that have decided to do so. \nI do hope that this problem can be resolved without any violence by those extremist groups, I mean, the real racists, I hope instead that people with good feelings and intelligent come up with a solution that favors both sides.\nGod Bless you all.

All people are racist.  Some more than others.  I think the ones that scream "RACIST" the loudest are the ones that want something from you and want to make you give it to them.  I don't have any problem with immigration, as long as it is in accordance with our laws and procedures.  I do have a problem with illegal immigrants sneaking into our country and getting more money from the government than I do!

Prejudice is a result of ignorance, and it's very ugly.  The people saying that Mexicans are stupid should be pitied.  They are ignorant, and that's a lot worse than stupid.

If you bring up skin color your racist. Gringo and names like it are racist. Bring up  "white rich" racist. \n\nAnd Mexico didn't own all of the western boarder, Native Americans lived there as well. Your countrymen literally handed everything over to the spanish when they came. Gold and all. Your politicians sold off your lands, we paid for then, your politicians pocketed the money and enslaved your nation.\n\nEvery country in the entire world including Mexico feel they have the right to say if anyone can come live in their country or not. Reality check. Every country in the world requires immigration papers and require you to ASK before coming. \n\nIn answer to the question? Yes a great many amnesty supporters are throwing up the race card alot. When they see they have no grounds for their arguement thats were they take it to manipulate the conversation away from the facts of the issues.

Everyone thinks its racism against mexicans, but if germans, the brittish, russians, ect were crossing the borders in droves, then it would be a problem aimed at them and not the mexicans. They need to be deported, and never be allowed back in cause they came here illegaly the first time. Besides, this country is only so big and you will over populate this country with all of south central america trying to get in, on top of the population that already exists. I read an answer that said they lived in horrific conditions, well, why can't they fix there own country. We went through 2 world wars, a cival war, british/american war ect. They want things handed to them!\n\nCase in point, study Israeli and jewish history, If its worth fighting for... They're to lazy to change there own government!!
