I know that there are Mexicans in the US armed forces.  Actually, illegal immigrants in the USA are offered US citizenship after their stint if they join the US armed forces.  So some of them do go that route to get US citizenship.\n\nSparty - you are wrong - you do not have to be a US citizen to join the US armed forces.

Some parts are safer than others but it is not a safe place in general. Mexico is a country that teeters on the verge of revolution. It is unstable and unpredictable. Its only a matter of time until violence against Americans increases.

This is the big problem with the Mexican argument for legalizing illegals in the US... they say that we are an immigrant nation BUT what they don´t consider is that, for example, my German, Irish, Russian and French ancestors came to the US and became AMERICANS... they learned English, didn´t send all the money they made back to their home country and didn´t consider themselves still of their original country... these illegals and otherwise legal immigrants still root for Mexico in soccer games!  They don´t consider themselves Americans but want our rights and our benefits, at our expense!!! This is not fair to us.  We have nothing to gain.  They are not entitled to the rights of US citizens - they are breaking the law.

Because America has quotas saying how many people from a country can become a citizen per year, and more people from countries such as Cuba and Mexico want citizenship then America has allows. Atleast, thats what I've always been told.

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.

America does not offer, because they know that they will not accept.  Mexico, though more impoverished, has a common trait with other countries: the desire to be an autocracy or self-governing country.  Also, many people are already against imperialism-immoral, causes more problems for america, etc- so it would be difficult to convince congress to agree with the decision to take over mexico.

I bet 1 peso...you are just doing this kind of questions because you are hurt inside...I bet that you are part of some minority that promotes hates and violence because you want to be a majority in a country made and built with/by people from all over the world....and someone made you suffer!!!\n\nYou want us to believe that you are "a real US citizen" but...honestly? you "sound" like you don't even speak English correctly!!! why don't you ask your parents how they feel when you do stuff like this?\n\nAnd more important: Why don't you live and let live? or since you like so much to promote bad feelings...why don't you live and let die???  \n\nHow many Mexicans do you really know??? how many times you visited Mexico to talk like that??? if it was only one...well...how come you are still alive??? Don't you don't that "those Mexicans" are fighting in Irak too???  \n\nYou must have a very sad live!

The Southwest belongs to the United States. It has since the 1800s. Why all of a sudden, are people claiming it belongs to Mexico? If Mexico wants it, then Mexico can just try to fucking take it. I'll be waiting for them, along with millions of other service members and armed citizens.

I know what you mean and you have a point there but..... Is not up to the USA government or up to the American Corporation to establish new laws in Mexico. It's up to the Mexican government to make their laws be obeyed and create new laws for the benefits of their citizens. The problem is not the companies that goes to Mexico looking for cheap labor and pay the lease of money or benefits to the workers, the problem is the Mexican government that don't give a shit for their citizens. They are the big problem and they are so inept and corrupted that they rather send their citizens to the USA illegally than to creat new laws for the better of their citizens. Mexico is what the government and the Mexican people wanted to be,,,, what you see.

they are failing to inform Americans of certain dangerous trends in America.\nlike no more religion in school and how this was done and by what type of thinking did we get to this point in America.\nWe have given all our rights over to the state and federal government and this is what happens when you pass laws restricting freedom .WHEN you tell me it is illegal to be in a public place like a park after 10 pm or before 6 am you have opened your self to so many losses of freedom that ,  that type of law makes possible i am ashamed to be an American today .\nWe had people fight and die so that we could be free from oppression and servitude.The right to have representation to ensure the public intrests were served and not taxed without it being for the good of the people.\nTHAT these people would never pass laws that infringed upon the   basic freedoms of all men and the bill of rights describes our freedoms.This does not mean o fifty foot statue of a naked man and woman engaged in intercourse can not be placed in public on my property.\nthis does not mean i can not engage in sexual acts on my property in full veiw of passers by.\nTHIS does not mean that Ican not or should not be deprived of the right to be free.\nto this end you have the right not to buy my services not to have me work for you denie me permission on your property denie me the right to shop in your store and to make it known that you do not approve of my actions and until i come to my senses i am not wanted around.\nyou may say this leads to discrimination but i say it leads to people providing work and food and services to the very type of person that you wish not to support in yopur community and those who wish to help them by giving food and jobs and support can also be included in you freedom to denie sevices to such people as you see fit .\nTHIS however does not give me the right to refuse sevice on account of race religion or sex age marital statues and so on .\nBY making sex in public veiw illegal you have violated that persons rights to do as he wishes and there fore opened your self up to laws being passed to prevent you from doing what you wish . \nBAD community behavior needs to be handled by the people in the community by making live difficult for people wh othrough there actions do not change to meet those standards and it is your right to refuse to help someone for these resons and these reasons alone.Some where in america naked statues and open sexual gratification may be acceptable and in many places it is not so naturaly some one stiggmatized by a community would search out a place that he could live in peace and enjoy freedoms to shop and go where he is accepted .by passing laws against anyplace exsisting where he can do this you risk losing your freedoms also .\nAmerica does not recognize the danger in forbidding gay marriage or many other laws that end freedom and more and more america is becoming a police state.ONLY people who can afford fifty foot fences are free today to do what i have descibed and this is wrong america for what goes on behind closed doors can affect all americans if to many fences go up all of us lose our freedom and the ones behind the fence do as they please secure in there property to act as they will.these were called lords of the manner dukes and so forth with the power and control of the people who the took pleasure in taking from there hard work and goods for the protection of the castle walls.\nHAVE we become so entreched in our own needs and freedoms we have destroyed all freedom and choice i may not agree with a persons right to say what they want like a kid who mentions jesus in a speach at school but i sure do defend her right to do so as well as a man to erect a disgusting statue or fonicate in public as repulsive as i find some behavior it is freedom i find more important then stoping him .ONCEone persons behaviour is questioned it only becomes a matter of time till you too are being denied your freedoms.\nWE

All the people of the USA are descended from IMMIGRANTS some LEGAL, some ILLEGAL. Except the 100% Native Americans. The USA won the land they think we stole, then paid for the same land. If the people who were Mexican didn't want to be U.S. American citizens they were given the option to to stay or go back to Mexico. We have laws to control illegal immigrants now,(although not recently enforced). It is necessary to prevent too many people coming into the USA too fast.\nphotofemale810 is asking a legitimate question. They(those ILLEGAL people doing the protests and demanding rights they don't HAVE) DO NOT respect the USA when they fly the flag of the very country they left due to low wages and bureaucratic greed. They do NOT respect the USA when they call the citizens filthy names, when it is those very citizens who pay and have paid (since they worked their first job) taxes which supports the very welfare assistance programs the protesters ABUSE. If those people are so"strong" and "hardworking" and have any "pride" they would go back to their own country and make it better for their children and their grandchildren. How can those children/grandchildren grow up to respect their ancestors when they came here illegally, protested, demanded rights that weren't theirs and turned their backs on their very own country and heritage? Where is the pride in that? They need to get strength from their fellow man in their OWN country and fight and protest THERE.

it's not right because innocent people that are trying to get by are being sent away.  We should have mexico become one of our states.

Well...let's look at their protest in May that hurt them more than it helped their "cause."  There were Mexican flags, signs in Spanish and there were more demands for rights that they don't have.  They made untrue claims that they were Native American (what a joke) insinuating North American Indian.  They were giving America and Americans the one finger salute, they refuse to learn OUR language.  \n\nThey continue to make up what they believe to be facts, as if they can change history like the Southwest was stolen from them.  They disrespect us in OUR country while getting all of the handouts that they don't pay into.  I think that it's simple.  They want America but don't want to be Americans.  We don't want them here anyway.

Not only does every American have the right but an obligation to be outraged by the tortured & beheaded servicemen. They are not protecting anything torturing & beheading our soldiers - have you forgotten the treatment of soldiers have international laws & rules. We do not torture & behead their soldiers. Shame on you for having no patriotism. I am amazed than the same poooooor Katrina victims people say leave an entire country to the torture of Al Queda. Are you suppose to be caring compassionate people & we are the war lovers? I do not think writing off an entire country including woman & children is compassionate. At least, we are willing to stay until we can safely leave their country & their children & women are somewhat safe. Al Queda proved once again how vicious they are. We got blasted for a few renegades taking naked pictures & you will defend beheadings. Good question! No I am not President Bush, I am the mother of a United States  Army Ranger.
