They are mean and selfish and have nothing better to do.  Plus I would bet that they dont know any of the people that they are bad-mouthing.

Because people are so racisits and sterotypical.  They forget that America was founded on immigrants, and that our country would not be what it is today without the immigrants who shed blood to build it.  People look at Spanish people as just a bunch of illegal criminals, and forget we have our own criminals.  As Americans who live in the greatest country in the world, we have decided (some of us not all) (Exclude me lol) think we are better than anyone, when in reality, lets face it, if not for immigrants coming in and doing the mundane jobs, we as Americans would be in a pinch.  Just let these hipocrites on here be stupid and full of it because when it comes down to it, they are fooling no one but themselves.

Mexicans are not being persecuted in America. Even those that are here illegaly. Although there seems to be more public sentiment against illegals here of late. I would blame that on the media or the politicians makeing an issue of it more than anything else. ive lived in Texas all my life the illegal alien thing is nothing new.there were plenty illegals here for more more than thirty years and never heard one complaint until the last few weeks when the media started blasting it out the airways. Unfortuneately Ive noticed that the media seems to have a large affect on the popular opinion here. Why they have chosen this time to make it a major issue is beyond anything i can understand.

Welcome to America! Home of some of the most greedy materialistic people in the whole world. Many people here are trying to impress, or if not impress put themselves higher than the rest. We will someday suffer for are " gotta have it yesterday mentality" and are " have it now with no payments or intersest" mentality. It used to be that friendships and family gatherings were the most important thing to many. Now we sacrafice that to have the kid with the most sport activities and the coolest car to pick them up in. Don't want people to know that we are in debt up to our necks. Study other cultures, and the ones that hold too the family traditions of gathering for meals and sharing whatever they have. You will find a much more content people. I was actually making too much money at my job that I quit. Why suffer with extreme hours and no home time for a better car or a bigger TV or an "awesome vacation". I would rather be average and content! What is funny is this immigrant issue in our faces right now. And how most mexican families have the old American traditions still in opperation. Ya, they put a few brewsky's back and have a good time, but most also work hard to make ends meet and don't bitch and complain about every little injustice that happens in there comfortable life....well I better get off my box! I could go on all night. There all still good folks out there who are not brainwashed by american media and american dreams. They are just harder to find. But when you do find some like that, treasure those relationships!

I know alot of latinos who don't support illegals, and this makes illegals mad. They try to make them feel guilty, and when they can't they start throwing insults and telling them they are a disgrace to their race. I know this because I live in a majority hispanic city, and my husband is also hispanic. They also get mad when other nationalities of legal immigrants don't support them. One woman I know was called " A Vietnamese b****." The man then went on to say she was a disgrace and at this very moment her people were probably plotting her death.

I really don't know.\n\nBut regarding your answer to the Mexican/English language question, I've definitely noticed that those who complain about immigrants "kant evun spull or rite korrectly inn Englush".\n\nGood observation and comment, my friend. :)

obeirn1:  Fianlly someone with a brain on here.  I agree with you 100%.  Here is the trouble with this immigration debate, to much prejudices, and racisits trying to run the country.  Also some of these "haters" as I have so affectionatly called them, tend to go with what the neighbor says without investingating things themselves.  Like most things, when people jump to conclusions, this whole thing will turn out to blow up in the "haters" face.  People dont realize that it is not just "Mexicans" here illegally, and if you look at the problem more, you will se that it is actually our own Governement (INS policies) that prohibit the majority of these hispanics from gaining papers.  Look at it from their side, if your kids were starving would you not do what you had to do to feed them?  Now if you cant afford food, how on earth are you to afford thousands of dollars for papers, when the wages in countries like Mexico are 5 bucks a week....people just think they know all when they refuse to see the tarnish on the coin.  ~~To answer the question, I am ashamed that as a whole, americans think they are somehow better than the rest of the world!~~

One of the biggest problems is that according the the PEW Hispanic research center. 80% don't even want nor do they care about being an American or following the laws in this country. These are selfish people who prey off of the sweat and hard work of EVERY American both past and present.

What is the point of spitting so much hatred and nonsense??? And yes it is coming from others as well on both sides of the issue. But you are generalizing the issue and all Americans. They never asked me if they could go to war in Iraq or permission for any of the other issues you stated. And yes I do speak out to my representatives regarding things i disagree with.\n\nNo one is perfect, and obviously the US has created an envious society and quality of life.  Many of the things you mentioned are a result of aggression not started by the USA. If we did not use the bomb, there would have been a lot more deaths than there was in Japan! And you may notice it has never been used after WW2 in such a scale! \n\nWe have an idiot President with an IQ of 90, on that I think we can all agree. And I do not agree with the war in Iraq.  We are there like it or not, but the people of the USA do not want to subjugate the people of Iraq or anywhere else in my opinion. So let's do what we can and get out of there.\n\nI am all for immigration and helping other countries improve their economy and lives. You must see that the illegal immigrants are being used as a tool in a grander scheme by those in power with wealth. The layman, all of us in the working class just want those coming here to respect the land we work hard for and take pride in every day.  \n\nI really do not understand where your hatred of people in the USA comes from, perhaps you have been mistreated somehow?  If you really feel that way, it may be best to live somewhere else for a while as abscense make the heart grow fonder...  \n\nYou talk about Whites taking lands and such. Well don't you think the Indians would have wiped out all Europeans coming here if they could? Is that right for them to do?  The ones you should be complaining about are the Spaniards, and maybe you dont notice but the decendants of the Spanish rulers are still in power and subjugating the Mexicans. So if you have a beef with Europeans from centuries ago I suggest you deal with them in Mexico, bcs the people of the USA have moved on since the 19th century!!!1\n\nI would like to hear your view in a rational way and understand why you have those opinions....

I think you hit the spot... mental insecurity. I don't hate legal or illegal immigrants. It is sad though that all of these people for the most part have nothing better to do than to be bashing people who only come here to work, help our economy and want a piece of the american dream. Do "americans" think they are better because they speak English? Is English the universal language? why don't they learn a new language. I hate to see what this country will turn into and not because of illegals but because of legals who are so ignorant and close minded.

I totally agree with Angela and Monica. Americans talk about immigrants like Hitler and the Nazis did about the Jews immigrants come to the U.S. in search of a better life and all the bad things you hear about immigrants like them not paying taxes or being lazy an uneducated are lies I came to the U.S with my family when I was 7 at the moment I'm 13 my dad always pays his taxes on time and he works extremely hard he leaves at \n7 a.m. and comes back at around 10 p.m.and the thing about us being uneducated that's a lie and Americans you complain but as I recall you stole this land from people who already lived here you stole their land exploited and killed them and one more thing some Americans think that just because an immigrant comes to this nation he can't love his homeland and his flag to those people I say \nVIVA MEXICO AND THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were largely Republican until this year and the issue of cracking down on illegal immigration came up, then many switched sides.  \n\nThis is not JUST a latin american issue.\n\nBoth sides have decent arguements.  On the one hand the majority of illegals do want to come hear to live our American dream and want to do a good job and participate and pay taxes.  However, when they come over here illegally it opens a major can of worms and we have to ask the question "why can't they go through the correct process like so many before them?".  \n\nMany of us are ticked off that we have to struggle to make ends meat and pay for our expenses, work and try to better ourselves through school and we can't qualify for services.  Yet there are people here illegally getting services that we can't qualify for and they get to share or steal our American dream that we bought and paid for in taxes and we get understandably upset.\n\nI know of plenty of people that came here legally.  \n\nWe are a nation of rules and laws and if we aren't going to enforce them, then what good are they? \n\nAlso, I think it's particularly worrisome that so many people have gotten into the US illegally.  It quite frankly frightens me about national safety.  The law of averages has to tell us that at least some of the people here illegally DO NOT have good intentions!

I was born in Mexico.  I immigrated because my mother was a US citizen but not because she was my mother because Regan(R) Passed an Amnesty Law in 86.  Immigrants have a lot to contend with they really don't want to be in the middle of this argument.  They stayed in obscurity until someone in Washington decided what is best for the American people.  Well American people don't want to wash there own cars, or cook in restaurants or wash dishes or toilets.  If I can get my teenage boys to get a job this summer I'll be more than grateful.  We have become a selfish society and the only reason we don't like immigrants it's because they don't fit in to our name brand society.  They dress in what they can afford and wear their hair in last years fashion.  OMG hopefully we don't catch something.  What EVER!  Get over it America stop being so snooty.  Remember the immigrants that crosses Elise Island?  No body wanted the Jewess back then then the Irish.  It's the Mexicans turn.  Stop allowing history to repeat it self!!!!!

EDIT TO JD 8:11 PM.....UNinformed possibly...I don't claim to know everything as YOU do in ALL your posts.  Unpatriotic..a little...we Desert Storm Vets are kinda getting the shaft....BUT...you didn't address my questions did you.  You didn't clarify the need to downgrade Mexicans, call THEM OUT as a race...and not mention any others.  Oh and I refuse to look at your BLOG...UGH...that would be continuing YOUR ignorance....WOW....I probably made a 100 people go to it.  Fight the good fight JD...our soldiers are overseas.....the welfare system is full of 2nd and 3d generation losers and I feel that both of those problems are worth addressing IMMEDIATELY....but that is just my opinion and I don't have a BLOG.\n\n\n\nI find you boring and annoying.  Here is why.....illegal immigration has been an issue for years....decades even.  Every time you post you are so up in arms and ready to protest and march and do whatever people like you do.\n\nAND JD....when I say ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION I mean ALL illegal immigrants not just the Mexicans you love to talk about and bash.  \n\nWHY....please tell me why...if this is not a race fight for you EVERY TIME YOU ANSWER A QUESTION it refers back to "those Mexicans".  \n\nAND WHY PLEASE TELL me why if this is such a HUGE issue for you....why are you posting on YAHOO Answers and not knocking down doors and handing out pamphlets.  \n\nThere are so many illegal immigrants in the US right now I would be typing for perhaps the next 30 minutes to name them all....BUT....not you.....you can type nothing but\nMEXICAN.....hmmmm....sounds a little ummm....race related to me.\n\nOh and again if this was just about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION as you point out SO MUCH in your demeaning taunts to others....why the name calling and Mexican innuendo.  Why not an Irish joke or a Haitian joke or perhaps a Canadian joke.  Hmmmmmm sounds a little race related to me.\n\nAND finally JD.....as I continually post to your friend and cohort Cherokee Rose.....You do realize that we HUGE problems right here in the good OLE USA that need strong, opinionated people such as yourself.....why don't we try to fix what is broke here....and then work on the leak you are trying to plug up with hatred.

Yeah....they suck don't they.\n\nHere is an excerpt from a letter written by a retired US Border Patrol Agent.\n\nThere is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens.\n\n#1\nIllegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment and their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and subsidized by middle class Americans.  What illegal aliens want are benefits of American residence without paying the price.\n\n#2.\nThere are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans can't take and still support their families Illegal aliens take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses and send money to their home country.  There are no jobs that Americans won't do for a decent wage.\n\n#3.\nEvery person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT homeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries.  They come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens.  These illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of the law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation.  Those who brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on behalf of their children.\n\n#4.\nIllegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens constitute less than 5% of the workforce.  However, they reduce wages and benefits for lawful US. residents.\n\n#5.\nThis is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born Americans.  While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by immigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.\n\n#6.\nThe United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition.  The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined.\n\n#7.\nThere is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote".  Hispanics are white, brown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents.  The so-called "Hispanic vote" is a myth.  Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic vote is \na dead end.\n\n#8.\nMexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans have resented the United States.  During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. \n\nDuring World War II  Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from  Mexico. \n \nDuring the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to the U.S. to operate freely.  The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today Mexican school children are taught that the U.S. stole California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.  If you don't believe it, check out some Mexican textbooks written for their schoolchildren.\n\n#9.\nAlthough some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life, there are 6 billion people on this planet.  At least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day.  If wanting a better life is a valid excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight.\n\nBesides, there are 280 million native born Americans who want a better life.  I'll bet Bill Gates and Dona

Funny! Those "uneducated Americans" you speak of speak English...Americans Love Immigrants...DESPISE Illegal criminals! Since you align yourself with the latter, don't be surprised at the negative reaction that you receive. CNN! Wow! Ever try a book?\nTalk about lazy? Buy a mirror ...and Spell Check!
