What is your general perception of Mexico?

the Mexicans that I meet in New Jersey are so much more laid back than other people. I think they have an inner sense of who they are and a quiet dignity, while everybody else is cussing and going nuts. Of course, it is only a small community here, and most of these people here are of amerindian background and come from small towns in the state of Puebla, so they may not be entirely representative. When I have traveled to Mexico, too, I have been impressed with people's sense of their own culture, and I was impressed that everybody, no matter what their background, knows how to pronounce the mile-long names of all those Aztec gods.

THANK YOU! \n\nmy fiancee just said this to me yesterday...mexico is supposed to be "sooo bad" but they sure as hell are not hesitant to act like they still live there...\n\na "respected" principal here in houston even had the audacity to fly the mexican flag alongside the texas and united states flag at his high school...the nerve of some people...one would think that american citizens are the criminals and that we are infringing upon on "their rights"...\n\nmexico is profiting from our downfall...

Do you really think people from Mexico all watch the same thing? They watch all kinds of different shows just like anywhere else -- soaps/telenovela, the news, sports, etc.

Mexicans are embarrassed of their own country. That is why.

Well, you should ask the Mexican government.

It would be really interesting to form the United States of Amexicanda! And it is odd that we seem to fear Mexicans so much. But if tacos powered industry and automobiles, we would be in Mexico for sure.

On May 1st, I noticed alot of people were really happy and shopping. Traffic was great. Mexicans take it personally because 65% of the illegal population comes from Mexico. Of course they will raise a stink, they hate America but they love our money.

ohhh my goodness..where to start!well heres one tenth of what i want to say!\nTRY THIS CRAP IN MEXICO\n\n\nIf you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime,\n\n\nTRY THIS:\n\nEnter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas,\ninternational law, or any of that nonsense.\n\nOnce there, demand that the local government provide free medical care\nfor you and your entire family.\n\nDemand bilingual nurses and doctors.\n\nDemand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate\nabundantly.\n\nDeflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive\nbehavior with, "It is a cultural USA thing. You would not understand,\npal."\n\nKeep your American identity strong.  Fly Old Glory from your rooftop,\nor proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.\n\nSpeak only English at home and in public and insist that your children\ndo likewise.\n\nDemand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.\n\nDemand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal\nrights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal \npresence\nin Mexico.\n\nDrive around with no liability insurance and ignore local traffic laws.\n\n\nInsist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its\nofficers.\n\nGood luck!  You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead.\n\nBecause it will never happen.\n\nIt will  not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world except\nright here in  the United States, Land of the naive and stupid, idiotic\npolitically  correct politicians.\n\nIf you agree, pass it on.   If you don't, go ahead and try the above in\nMexico or  Iraq.

Yes, good wasn't it? Mexico looking good so far. It's a tight game though. (This is all being dictated to me by my son).

Wow, people really shouldn't generalize and say that all Mexicans are this and that.  Obviously, stereotypes are there for a reason, but we must understand that many Mexicans don't fall into the derogatory categories that some are throwing around.  I think we also need to look at perspective.  Most of the responses I've heard are from Americans who are most likely more privileged than immigrants from the start.  Mexico is a pretty poor country with not a lot of opportunity.  Those crossing the border are not doing so to sit in a la-z-boy and chug beer.  They braved police punishment and death to get here so that they could find a better life.  It's true that some may come to receive benefits, and what they are doing is illegal, but most are just trying to get out of poverty.  I wonder if we were born into a poor Mexican family if we wouldn't seek to cross the border, any means possible.\n\nInteresting point: Did you know that Mexico's economy would virtually collapse without the money Mexican workers in the U.S. send back to their families and friends in Mexico?

Cancun gets many types of visitors. Mexico though generally religious and conservative and machismo is one way but Cancun is more the party version and willing to turn its head in many aspects.

Mexico has EVERYTHING it needs to be a top notch nation. except desire. These people either lack the know how or desire to do it. I sense a civil war is going to happen in Mexico soon. The people there need to find their "Neo"

Altougth i don't like to generalize - i would try to answer this question. But i hope this is not seing judgemental, or prejudice, I have to say that not all mexicans have to have this characteristics. In Mexico there are lots of people and everyone is diferent.\n\nWhat i admire the most is the love for the family, the family ties, the type of relations we create with all the persons within our families and how those relations extend to almost any person who gets into the circle. \n\nThere is this sense of strong that make us feel the lonely fact that we have big families backing up us. There's no way to break us down while we have those big families with us, and as long as we keep making part of those big structures.\n\nWhat i hate the most? That one is really dificult. \n\nI believe that once we get to our comfort zone, we tend to stay in there? and it is dificult to us to make efforts to improve it. I don't know if there is a word to that, in spanish it would be CONFORMISMO.\n\nThat's something i hate, and i see very often in Mexican people (it have happened to me). As i said, i don't mean to be judmental, and i know that not all mexican people is like that, and i'm sure you can see those characteristics in people from all the world as well. \n\nBut those are the characteristics i've noticed in my people, Mexican people.

Oh! It's you! I'll have you know one thing, I was no bum. I'm an undercover agent working for the CIA. You my friend, now we have enough to put you away for years.\n\n\n\nAnd I wouldn't recommend Mexico, it's not that nice this time of year, and I've faxed a mugshot of you to the border patrol with a special notice to kill on sight.
