I don't think the majority of this country has a superiority complex. Government might... ha ha. Americans are self-involved and don't seem to care what goes on in other parts of the world. That might fuel the superior stereotype.

Oh yeah, That would be cool, all the english speaking people in one big area of the United Staetes and all the spanish in another small area, then all the other foreign speaking take up their own little areas.  Since all major corporations that run this country are english speaking.  There would be no problem. Since english speaking would take up so much room, we could suffocate the others right out of this country.  Good ideology.

Yeah... one drawback i have seen in the future is that some of them might be able to vote w/o learning what it is to be American. They should (before getting amnisty) is take a US history class. That way they can be proud of their new country. \n\n\n\nPS\nI'm of Mexican heritidge... of 100% Mexican heritidge...

First of all just so you know my background is German, Irish and English my wife is Dominican (Spanish speaking). I can only think of two things. 1) They are ignorant! 2) Mexico is one of the largest countries, so it is more noticeable. Plus, how can anyone say that Mexicans are taking all the jobs when other Americans won't even do that type of work? I appreciate them, 'cause if it weren't for them then the fields of fruit and veggies would not get picked. I'm from CA and now I live in NY. There are so many other immigrants here too. At one time Western United States used to be Mexico and the "White Man" took it away. People are just plain ignorant or stupid. Don't let it bother you, hasta

People can speak whatever language they want.  Just don't expect the Americans who speak English to change.  I think it'd be like going to France and forcing them to speak English.

America would be a trashed slum from coast to coast. Mexico would be fairly empty of the poor, they'd be up here, living on the streets and selling drugs to get food. Our welfare system would have ran out long ago. The rich in Mexico would have beautiful homes with perfectly kept lawns that are maintained by the former poor Mexicans that stuck it out and stayed, and now get nice wages.  American citizens will probably band together and organize, to try and get a handle on the situation. \n \nThe issue is ILLEGAL immigrants. Mexicans and other Latinos are 65%+ of the illegal immigrants coming into the USA. It's the southern border at Mexico that is the problem of such a glut in illegals coming into the USA. We might refer to them as Mexican, but I guess that is wrong, because there ARE people from Central and S. America coming to the USA via the Mexican-American border. We don't want all immigrants to leave. We want illegal immigrants to leave, of any origin. Want to know why??\n\n***The protesters want to take over this land of ours****\n\n***************America better wake up********************\n\n****GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR A$$E$ AND PAY ATTENTION*** \n\n- Illegally crossing the border is a FEDERAL offense, a felony. - The issue is ILLEGAL immigrants, not LEGAL immigrants -They are hired by businesses in our country, the businesses should be prosecuted for hiring illegals \n-They pay lower wages to the illegal immigrants than they once paid the American worker, thus American worker wages fall -Americans would do the jobs at the fair wage the businesses formerly paid them. -There is no job they do that Americans won't do. When they say they work harder than Americans, that is a racist remark. Plus, Americans worked to build and keep this land, we didn't run to another country crying with our hand held out. We have stamina and PRIDE. -Illegal immigrants abuse our govrnment assistance programs that were meant for the citizens of the USA when they fall on hard times, not illegal immigrants\n-They can't afford doctors so they glut the ER of hospitals to seek medical care -Our forefathers built this country. Some were illegal, that was then, this is now. We now have immigration laws that are to be abided by, we didn't then\n-Our country fought the Mexican-American war and WON, then paid $15 million dollars for that land and for the privilege of whooping the Mexicans a$$e$ -The illegal immigrant worker is only a tip of the iceberg of problems to come, brought by the illegals coming across the border. They want "conquista" (reconquor), they'll tell you that. They want that land we whooped their butts for, they can't accept defeat. -They flew their flags in protest of the USA, the very country that has been filling up their outstretched hands. -they bring in their drugs and gangs.\n-They disrespect the people of the USA and our leaders. They should be deported and the sooner the better. Our borders should be tightened up and patrolled with armed guards. America needs to wake up. You may or may not agree with me, but be sure you know ALL the reasons for wanting the illegals OUT. I'm not finished but I'll stop for now--whew!!-----CherokeeRose

In some ways, Americans are very positive.  Maybe a better question would be:\n\nAre Americans more postive than people in other countries?\n\n"nationalities" is a problematic term.

The most decent Latin Americans are like the most decent of any other nationality - those who work hard, respect others, are not bigoted like some of the people who answer these questions, maintain a sense of community and abide by the law, and who do not let the government, or small-minded people, or other bullying types, push them around or make them feel small.\n\nAs for intelligence, that's always good for a laugh - many highly intelligent people are utterly moronic about any number of things.

At least 95%. And the pro side is just as guilty of it as anyone else here, even though they deny it. "Oh, but Mexicans are such hard workers, have such strong family values," etc. Well, what about the 43% that ISN'T Mexican? It is easier though, to associate Mexicans with illegal immigration because they are the majority, because of the marches and the outspokeness of those who are Mexican or represent mostly Mexican people. Also because it's very easy for most to assume that if you speak Spanish, you must be a Mexican.

I find it interesting that you say that "Americans" are the ones calling mexicans latinos. I don't know any "Americans" that do. Actually, I find that most mexicans, especially the younger ones, call themselves "Latino" or "Latina".

Only about 50% of the crime would end.  The rest is done by mexicans.\n\nThis is not a stereotype.  It is statistical fact:\n\nhttp://www.amren.com/997issue/997issue.html

I can tell you Mexican people are the biggest majority. Not being racist, just stating facts.
