Whether I'm a Hispanic legal resident or a Hispanic that is a naturalized citizen, it would be very upsetting to be branded as an illegal. People inadvertently suffers the consequence of the ill deeds of others. Just as the Minute Men are branded as racist. They are just protecting american territory from the onslaught of ILLEGAL immigration. If there is no illegal immigration- there would be no Minute Men at the border. Therefore, they will not also be branded as racist! If there is a cause there is an effect! And go figure the root of the problem we are facing today. |

I'm not racist. I don't really have a problem with mexican people. If they are illegal then at least they came here to contribute to our economy! Some white people just sit around collecting welfare (not all just some). |

Americans working in Mexico...From the other side of the fence.....
The following from Tom O'Malley, who was a Director with SW BELL in Mexico City:
I spent five years working in Mexico. I worked under a tourist visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working Illegally. During that first six months, our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called an FM3.
I was technically illegal for the three weeks I was waiting on the FM3 approval. The FM3 was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered or left the country. Barbara's was the same except hers did not permit her to work.
To apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals
(not copies) of:
1. Birth certificate for Barbara and myself.
2. Our marriage certificate.
3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation.
4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation.
5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year.
6. A letter from The St. Louis Chief of Police indicating I had no arrest record in the US, no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing."
7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on Earth" letter. It was fun to write.
All of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder about 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on the right.
Once they were completed, Barbara and I spent about five hours, accompanied by a Mexican attorney, touring Mexican Government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times.
At each location, and we remember at least four locations, we were instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the
governments actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done, we could legally bring in our household goods, that were held by U.S. Customs in Laredo, Texas. This meant we had to rent furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid.
We could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law.
We were required to get Mexican drivers licenses. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the licensing agency to come to our headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and with the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and fingerprinted again and were issued the licenses instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and we never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back.
We then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The company's Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. It was about twenty legal size
pages annually.
The FM3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees. Leaving the country meant turning in the FM# and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs.
It was a real adventure and if any of our Senators or Congressman went through it once they would have a different attitude toward Mexico.
The Mexican Government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their "White House" or government offices but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy. The US embassy looks like a strongly reinforced fortress and during most protests the Mexican Military surround the block, with their men standing shoulder to shoulder in full riot gear, to protect the Embassy. These protests are never shown on US or Mexican TV. There is a large public park across the street where they do their protesting. Anything can cause a protest such as proposed law changes in California or Texas.
Please feel free to share this with everyone who thinks we are being hard on "illegal" immigrants. |

Dude, if you are legal, learn to speak and write as an American. When our ancestors came over, they learned the language. There were no driver exams in 18 languages. There was no writing on EVERY BOX in Spanish and French. Now, our children are required to learn Spanish in school. Just 10 years ago it was a choice.
If you do not want to be grouped with the illegals, then do not act like one. |

I'm sure most legal hispanics dislike being called illegal. It's really their own fault though considering the name the Latino culture has made for itself. |

First I would like to clarify to you that being against illegal immigration and being racist are different things. I'm from Puerto Rico (US territory) and what bothers me is that because our first language is Spanish people think we are Mexicans (I don't even look Mexican my parents are Italian) But the problem is not the people but the government that make weak laws against this plague. Because of the geographical position of Mexico and US is most common that the illegals will be Mexicans or from South America. People from the old world cannot cross our borders that easy so they have to come here legally. If you hate being called illegal, just keep yourself away from Mexicans...I work as an Interpreter for the Hispanic Coalition but I keep my private life away from all Mexicans. Inside my house my kids speak Spanish but outside we speak English that way I'm giving them the opportunity of being bilingual. The biggest problem is people like you that do not think as Americans but as hispanics living in US...even if you are legal, if you think you are hispanic, then you cannot be American. I am an American who happens to be hispanic, therefore illegals have nothing to do with me and I proyect this to the world. This would be a better place if we stop calling ourselves by nicknames such as AA, Hispanic, Chinese.....if you were born here, if you love this place...then your just American!
Isacha - That's not what our laws say. I haven't met any South-American calling him/her self American, not even a Canadian!! |

I have never been called illegal or any other racial slur to my face, but Yes I would hate it. |
|
....I'll shut up now
|
I'm Hispanic and I don't believe any to human being should be called illegal,But don't you think you have to leave your mind open to the other side. Aren't you just as badly labeling people who don't believe in illegal immigration but don't disagree over that which is legal? |

ILLEGALS are illegal because they are breaking the law....
there are many others from other countries who have
played by the rules and waited for legality....they have
not shortstopped anyone and gone to the front of the line like hispanics always do....ILLEGAL hispanics are an
embarrassment to legal hispanics and hurt their cause |
