they want the best of both worlds.  they want to remain a mexican citizen and criticize the US for being a racist country but yet they want to stay here even though they are not welcomed.  they are raping our country.

Actually, there are some places in Mexico with large numbers of U.S. expatriates. If I remember correctly, in Mexicali, or in some other part of Baja California, there is a large community of retirees from the U.S. They go there, because the climate is pleasant and because the cost of living is low.

Im mexican, I dont really look it so I dont get confused very often.. but here is what you need to know.. central america was pretty much all one culture before the spanish came.. from yucatan (mexico ) to panama.. there were the mayans.. in central mexico there were aztecs and similar cultures.\n\nPeople who live in these places can tell you the others are sooo different, and the way they talk.. soo different.. but in a way is the same difference as americans say west and east coast people are so different.. \n\nBut to offend people by calling them mexicans when they are from guatemala is not because of their culture.. its because their national pride

I can see why you might have difficulties with this one. Let me break it down for you.\n\n1. First of all, YOU have to visit a Mexican community. Mexicans are Spanish-speaking people who come from a country called Mexico, which is located immediately south of the USA. When they live together as a group of families in the USA, these areas can be called Mexican communities. You only need to visit one of these communities.\n\n2. When you are there, you have to write down what you see around you. Put down in writing what the people are doing, how they live, how they relax, what they wear and so on.\n\n3. After finishing stage 2., you are required to state what were the features of the community that most pleased you. You can notice if you like some thing, because normally it will make you smile.

The only reason some Americans think Mexicans are the only ones crossing our border is because that's the impression Mexico gives. \n\nEven when we announce our THOUGHTS about securing our border to keep Islamic terrorists out, Mexico comes unglued and yells out that no one is coming across except young, strong, hardworking Mexicans just looking for a better life.  Then accuse us of wanting to secure our border for racist reasons, that we're greedy and don't want to share our wealth with Mexico.\n\nSo listening to Mexico what's a person to think?

Mexicans coming to the US is a form of outsourcing.  Mexicans come here to take services jobs that cannot be outsourced.  How can you outsource picking strawberries on a farm in Half Moon Bay, California?  The only way to do this is draw illegal workers into the US.  Since they are illegal you can pay them less money than US Citizens.\n\nOutsourcing is just a bad idea.  It's one thing to outsource jobs that require little or no higher education or training; and quite another to outsource jobs that require 4, 6, or 8 years of advanced education to perform.  If you outsource all of the high tech, R&D, finance and MBA, and marketing jobs what jobs will you have left?  Moreover, corporations that outsource these jobs are financing the creation of their own foreign competitors.  That is how new companies form; highly trained, experience employees of a given corporation leave and form their own company.  What makes this worse is that now, if the jobs are outsourced instead of have this new company contribute to the US economy, it will expand a foreign country's economy.

That's a great question.  I don't know but my guess is maybe they know they have a better chance of changing America than the country they came from. Most immigrants leave their country for economic, religious, or safety reasons.

I don't think anyone would be satisfied by such an action.  After all, there is no special quality to the land in the American Southwest that draws Mexican immigrants.  Mexico is a physically beautiful country, no one leaves it because they like American scenery better.  What makes the American Southwest attractive to immigrants is the fact that it is American.  It isn't ruled by the incredibly corrupt Mexican government.  If we were to turn over Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California over to Mexico we would simply see massive migrations to other US states.

Because Mexico makes HUGE money off it's citizens being in the US, working, and sending money back. Immigrants from Central and South America can only cost them money, so it's easier for them to just shoot them.\n\nThey ARE hypocrites, Pancha. They lobby the US for open borders while at the same time killing immigrants coming into THEIR country. Sounds hypocritical to me.

Even American Indians fought for different hunting grounds.  Our European ancestors that settled here were just better warriors.  Now we have boarders and laws.  They are observed in all other countries on this planet, the USA should not be any different.  Mexico has some of the toughest immigration laws and some of the harshest penalties for breaking them.

The U.S.A! would not survive without Mexicans. The reason for that is we do all the jobs that other people don't want to do, such as cleaning buildings where you live, work and enjoy yourself. As for the statement " as if we had any problems taking care of ourselves before they got here " WE WERE HERE FIRST!!!! The white people ( I say white because white people don't even know there own heritage, or where they come from, or whats in there blood )\nThat's sad,to not know where you come from. To be honest, when I was younger, I didn't really embrace my culture, the reason for this was because I was so brainwashed. Now, being 23 years old, I'm so happy that I can speak two languages perfectly, and that I can go to another country and feel right at home, just like here in the U.S.A. I feel bad mentioning WHITE people in here, but to be honest, They're the leaders in racism, and unfortunately they're the leaders of the United States. That's sad...Isn't this supposed to be the land of opportunity and the land of many different colors."This land is my land, this land is your land, from sea to shining sea " And oh yea, if we were to leave, it would be so funny to see all of you doing the jobs Mexicans were doing just fine!

They are deported back to their own country of origin, whether that country is Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador or wherever.  They are never returned to Mexico if they are not Mexican as Mexico won't accept them, either.  Actually, the Central Americans love that trip home as it is an airplane ride home - much easier than their trip up.  They consider it a holiday and stay home to visit their friends and families awhile then they head back to el norte again.  They do it over and over, as long as they are physically able.  My daughter's boyfriend did very well for himself and had some $30,000 US saved up in his home country of Honduras by last time he was deported in December (a lot of money in Honduras, considering that their average yearly income there is only $400 - $600 per year) and he is on his way back now to the US and expects to be here within 2 to 4 weeks.  He thinks it is a wonderful adventure!

Your geography sucks for starters, Mexico is in North America whether you like it or not. Central Americans who want to migrate into the USA illegally just have to go through Mexican territory, not because they believe Mexico is hotter than their own country, but because it happens to be in the way. Also, many of those who cross over into Mexican territory happen to belong to the Mara Salvatruchas of Salvador and if you have no idea about who those are, better surf the web and discover for yourself that no LA or NY urban gang can beat these guys when it comes to gang loyalty, viciousness, cruelty and violence. Thank god they do not all cross over into your country, many stay here and get recruited by the cartels for security. Bet you would'nt like them in your country either. Many of those who cross over are mules carrying drugs as well. Mexicans are not racist bigoted pigs because no one can beat you at that. They are not superior to many other latin americans like the Chileans and Argentinians. Many other unfortunates cross over from Guatemala and El Salvador, running away from civil wars that have lasted for years, and unfortunately the way into Mexico is through the south, where the worst of this country happens to concentrate because that is where the ignorant and poor people of Mexico live. Poor people tend to treat other poor people like dirt. And yes, Mexico does have a problem with that, but you are dealing with people who wish to make a better life for themselves and we have to deal with the Maras. How compassionate would you be?\n\nBy the way, First Dragon has a point there.

Who do you think paid for all the equipment, research & development and technology to get the oil out of Mexico. The USA, correct, here ya go Mexico, pump it out... we'll even buy it.  NAFTA, here ya go Mexico, jobs Americans once held, now belong to you. Mexicans, like the people of Iraq, like US people collecting welfare, need to do it themselves.  We can't do it for them even if we wanted to.  \nA person appreciates the fruits of their own hard work more than something given buy another.  We hold ourselves to this standard everyday, but don't or have less faith in non-Americans, or poor Americans.\nMexicans to often state the "we are all immigrants or decendents of", yes true.  However, name one other group of immigrants who harbored such pride for their home country after setting foot in the US, like the Mexicans.  Mexico is  worse than most countries our ancestors came from.  I was born in the US, my ancestry is from France, if I grew up with my parents telling me France was better, I'd be like "then why the hell are here"?  "I'm American now, I can't go back to France?"  Real parents wouldn't do that to their children.  Mexicans are being selfish, they won't even let their kids, who are Americans, be American.  Three generations of totally confused Mexican-American kids.  We are all from different places, but the thing that Unites us is that we are American.  We all come from different places for an opportunity like no other.  A place you can make your great idea a reality.  A place where creativity is encouraged.  A place you can live how you want to live so long as it's not harming others who want to do the same, including parts of nature.  A place you have to make a sacrefice for inorder to gain something you consider greater, like a dangerous boat ride or a cut on a barbed wire fence. Big or small the risk was worth it to make, not receive, something better.  If you came here expecting a gift, your in the wrong place.  This is not the "Easy way out country", this is the land hard work and determination.  This is not the "they have more, so they should take care of me" hangout.  Some have it easier than others, but if you get the tougher road, only the weak turn back.  Some have it easier because someone before them worked hard.    \nWhy do Americans feel we need or have the ability to fix other countries? We are the youngest country, Mexico has been around longer than us.  They kicked out Spain & France who probably treated them better than the current gov.  That's why I can't understand "Mexican Pride" in the US, or in Mexico.  Cinco de Mayo represents the day they defeated the French, but the French less than 6 months later took it back.  What can you be prowd of then or now?  Holding the title "Most corrupt government" or "Don't drink the water there", come on.  If they really had pride, they would do everything to better Mexico.  If Mexicans had pride, they wouldn't be F-ing over other Mexicans, cops wouldn't be hustling $50 bucks from every US visitor, people in the country would be pissed with those who flee, those who flee wouldn't be so damn prowd of the place they fleed from.  It's crazy.  12mil prowd Mexicans could go back to Mexico and with others in Mexico, turn Mexico around, instead they will hinder Mexican-Americans from making progress in America.  We know you'd rather wave the Mexican flag, I felt bad seeing you wave the Stars and Stripes, because you were advised to.  Go back to Mexico and set a goal, do the jobs Mexicans aren't doing.  It'll be tough, but not trying will guarantee a life of wondering "What if?"  \nWatch Braveheart...
