Why do all the gringos get mad when we come to work here in your screwed up country anyway?

You have made a point, although in a very insulting way.\n\nDifferent people are mad for different reasons:  \nI, personaly, am not scared of the hard working illegal who sneaks across the border.  It's the drug dealers, criminals, etc, that slip in along with you.  We need to seal the border & reform immigration law so we can let the good, hard-working people in, & keep the scum out. (we have enough scum of our own - we don't need more)\nI am also concerned with those who don't learn Engish.  I think everyone should learn a second language, but that includes immigrants (illegal or otherwise).  Learn English!\n\nBut there are people who feel threatened by people who actually have a healthy work ethic as well as those who just don't want any more "beaners" in America.  Please don't lump me with either of those groups.\n\nOne illegal alien in particular was a salvation for my boyfriend's family. His mother had a stroke & needed full-time live in care. The only Americans he could afford would quite after one week, sometimes just leaving without telling anyone leaving his mother alone for hours.  She could have had an episode & died!  One lady actually stole all the jewelry, including her wedding ring, before leaving.\nIn desparation, he finally found someone who had a cousin here illegally who was willing to do the job.  She became part of the family.  After 10 years of excellent care, his mother died.  That was 2 years ago, & we still consider her family.  She usually spends Christmas with us.

wow.  very well said.  what happend between white settlers and native americans, while very sad and wrong, is in the long gone past and its flat stupid to be upset over that.  i am upset with illegals because they come here ILLEGALY and DEMAND that we give them free stuff and financial help and all the freedoms of a US citizen.  while they may seek a better life by coming to America (cuz we just that cool) if we wanted you here, we would let you here.  many latin american countries are underdeveloped and diseases can travel through borders easily when people sneak across them.  plain and simple.

You said the answer right in your question! Because they are HYPOCRITES!\nWell, it might not be so easy to reply to this. Economy is a rather complicated matter, especially in a world like the one we are living in right now. Imagine what would happen if a big earthquake hit Japan. Even though it's thousands of miles off America (that's the continent, NOT A COUNTRY, sorry for this, but it's the truth), the whole world would become a big mess in terms of economy. I just wish nothing like this would happen to those industrious guys in Asia. Something I hate about mexican guys (I am mexican, by the way) is that whenever they come back home, they forget the civilized ways in wich they act in the US and behave as pigs. Not all of them, mind me, but many do. I'd love it if they kept being as hard workers as they are when up north. And, I don't mean that we mexican people who live in Mexico are not hard workers, but somehow our work is not as good payed for as it is in the US. Economy, again!

Come on these people are oppressed, downtrodden, and most have a low level of education....they are afraid.....they have corrupt officials that do not mind coming into a town and leveling it down and killing the people within who revolt against them.  Look up the state of Oaxaca Mexico to see that this is a recent happening in the news........& tell me that they haven't tried. In fact once before there was a civil uprising in which the USA took sides with the Mexican government and sent troops to reinforce that government against the people.....hence the word "Gringo"  The common people did not want our Army there who were dressed in green.   The people shouted "Green"  "Go (leave)

PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE WE YANKED THIS COUNTRY FROM THEIR HANDS.  WE ALSO YANKED THEIR ASSES FROM BECOMING GERMANS OR RUSSIANS.  WE KEEP ON YANKING THE WORLD ALONG ALTHOUGH IN RETURN WE GET DISRESPECT AND RIDICULE.

Immigrants "in general" don't suffer from humiliation or ingnorance from Americans.\n\nEntering a country without following the legal procedures OF that country's LAWS is much more serious than throwing paper on the sidewalk or running a red light. Once a person enters the country illegally that is only the beginning of the string of OTHER laws they break. Everything they do from that day forward is ILLEGAL. They must use a fake, forged, stolen or 'rented' ID to get ANYTHING. They use those ID's to get a Drivers license, a job, housing and abuse our federal assistance by getting AFDC, food stamps, section 8 housing, social security, etc.  Those people are not 'starving', they aren't coming here to just 'feed their families'.  They have other plans and it is not so  peaceful and innocent. \n\nThe don't get respect from Americans because they ARE here illegally.\n\nThey suck up billion$ in federal aid.\n\nThey disrespect our laws and flew our flag upside down beneath theirs.\n\nThey reap what they sow.\n\nThey should be deported, ASAP!\n\nYes, we are all human and we all work and are tired at the end of the day working for our families. We are doing it the country in which we are citizens and we are paying TAXES from those paychecks to support ILLEGAL immigrants who do not pay taxes, use OUR taxpaid assistance and are NOT EVEN CITIZENS of our country.\n\nIt's not ignorance nor humiliation they get from us. \n\nIt's RESENTMENT!\n\n We resent the fact we support the illegals who are not citizens of our country, we resent the way they claim they 'do jobs Americans won't do'..for slave wages, we resent the fact that the wages of our poorest, low skilled Americans wages have been depressed to 3rd world status.

That rings true in all Latin America.You should see when I go back home to Panama.My own family are lined up,demanding a handout.If I say something like I couldn't afford this or that,they look at me as if I had 2 heads or something.The only thing they keep repeating,which I find very annoying is,"En los EEUU se gana mas." Which is true but everything is way more expensive here also.The next time you go to buy a rebozo,act Mexican so they won't rip you off. I've never experienced racism in Mexico or any other Latin American country,maybe I've been lucky. Racism does exist but not half as bad as in the USA.

Buddy it's tough enough here.  I have no problem with people working, but at least try to speak the language.  I would do the same if I entered their country.

You are here in this country as a guest, If you don't follow our laws, your out of here.  Just like if you did something wrong on the job, you would be fired.

It's because of ignorant a**es like yourself that we are hated so overseas.\n\nYou're next question will probably be "Why do people hate us so much?"\n\nYou f**king retard.  Why don't you wrap your American flag around your head and suffocate yourself with it so the rest of us don't have to pay for your arrogance when we travel abroad.

You're wasting your time mate. People, especially AMERICANS like to have their little 'moral panics' (whipped up by the right wing media and the government) it takes their tiny minds away from all the REAL problems, i.e:\n\ntrillions of pounds (oops DOLLARS) in debt, \na crap economy, \na nutter in charge \nthe rest of the world hating you. \n\nNo matter what figure you come up with they'll shout 'liberal lies'. The bottom line is people like a legitimate target for their hatred and right now Mexican immigrants fit the bill. And as for all this 'i only have a problem with illegals' THAT has to be the biggest pile of crap that ive ever read on here and that's saying something!!

back up, back up, backup, we as white men, came from England to get away from oppression.  We land here on this beautiful rock and right away, we start oppressing.  We drove the natives off 'their' land and stole there goods and their women.  Now would you be pissed?  I have 1/8 Choctaw in my blood and I'm pissed.  Pissed that my people we're treated just like the English, the same thing that brought them over here in the first place.
