yes i do...a lot of them...and i'm not 'illegal' i'm an american mutt...i researched in hs i have 16 different nationalities in my tree...my branches are far spread...i don't think they are bad and sponging and free riders and classless!!!! i know hard working upstanding people!!!!! sure they aren't all good, but come on neither are 'americans'... i like your questions pancha! i think you are a very smart girl...and i don't know what nationality you are, but i am as my father says, half texan...and half 15 other nationalities...and if you can tell me that a texan isn't a nationality, then why the heck don't we just decide that mexican isn't either and start working with the issues, not against them. sorry, i don't agree with that idiot above me..we can and we do help all...we help them we help us we help other countries...i HATE the small mindedness narrow viewed of the big picture which is it's not a problem, it could be if handled properly a very profitable business...and look, some people are using that now....Americans are so lame...and yes, I am one! Born in San Diego!

Life is what you make it to be.  There are quite a few well to do Hispanics in my neighborhood who worked for what they wanted.  It may be a struggle but you will eventually get just strive hard for it.  And to the dumb A S S above me with the IGNORANT response.  Check your facts sweetheart....this land was STOLEN from mostly Hispanics and Native Americans and as a Black American I found your answer to be offensive.  Why don't you take your A S S back to where you came from before you stole this land and claimed it as your own!!!!!!!!!!!

My dear American friends: I'll start by saying I am Mexican living at the border with California, that has a lot of reasons to be thankful to many USA people. I love traveling, visiting and shopping, but BY ALL MEANS would never live in the USA as I think it's the worst place to raise my children. I sadly see that racism and arrogance have filled you hearts and minds, and that education and morality are completely forgotten by most Americans. \n\nI am aware that many of my Latin folks who legally or illegally immigrated to the US are building a bad reputation for the rest of us. Personally I dislike most Mexican-Americans (often called "Pochos") not for being Latins, but rather because they got the worst of both sides. However, we must not forget that there are many others that are making their best effort and working way better than many "pure" Americans. Honest immigrants are not stealing any thing from you; they have earned what you did not. You must not forget that USA was built by immigrants from all over the world. You must not forget it was the USA who stoled lands from Mexico and native people (sluttered with no mercy). \n\nYou really want to stop immigration? Here are some tips: \n1) Start by accepting those jobs rejected by other ethnical groups (such as black, asian, italian, jewish and even caucasian)\n2) Adjust your lifestyle to a reasonable wage, instead of dreaming of becoming a millionare with a 9 to 5 minimum effort\n3) Stop using drugs (as long as most of you keep using it, other people will have a better performance than you)\n4) Stop quitting school. \n5) The world is not only USA. Therefore, there are many cultures and ways of thinking.\n6) Stop buying Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Rover, VW. Stick to Ford, Chrysles and Chevrolet.\n7) Eat no more bananas, mangoes, avocados and other food grown in other countries.\n8) Be willing to pay for consumer products what they would cost if produced in USA with the salaries you get.\n9) Send immigrants back to their countries (that might include your parents, great parents, forefathers or even yourself).\n\nI know I got a little rude, but it is not my intention to offend anyone. You have every right to protect you borders and somehow control immigration, but I just wanted to remind you how USA got to be a great nation; and that if you keep following the same path you are doing now, it will soon become nothing but good memories.\n\nI beg you to please take a step back and appreciate what you have. Read a dollar bill and return to trust God once again...

Mexican means you just moved here from mexico. Hispanic means you come from mexican origin.

My son lost a job so the employer could hire 3 Mexicans in his place.  My son was a prep cook at Out Back Steakhouse. One of the Mexicans spoke English, the two others didn't.  So......your wages will sooner or later go down, or...you will be replaced.  Educated people will be safe, but blue collar workers are in trouble.

What's the harm, when US is also part of Anerica and Mexico is also part of America? They are become the part and parcel of your society and enhancing your strength.\nYou must be thankful to them coming close to you.

We had one already on May 1st. I actually enjoyed it. \nI went shopping and had a nice day with my family. Of course, there were Americans of Mexican descent doing the same. Fine by me. To me, if you call yourself a Mexican(any other nationality), and not an American, I won't miss you at all.

No I don't think so. Look at us americans we will always act all proud to be americans, also if you went to mexico you could ask any of them and they would tell you that they were pround to be that I think it depends on how you carry that pride. I'm glad that you are proud of who you are, too few are

Lol, eating and working at taco bell doesn't make you a mexican. It means you have an interest in their food. What makes you a mexican is if your parents are mexican or if you were born in mexico or if you just have it in your blood. Talk to your parents about it if you are truly unsure.
