OMG, An Illegal Mexican............?

I agree with you 100%. Everytime I hear from someone "they need to fix their own country" it makes me so mad because no one seems to understand. The country is corrupt. Almost all of Mexico's money is owned by 1 % of the country. So if you aren't Rich, then you are only dirt poor. There is no middle ground. We act like it should be so easy for Mexicans to change their own country but look how we as americans can't fix our own!! We blame mexicans because of their poor country and say that they are causing our country to become poor too. So we take out all our animosity on them when we should be aiming it at the Mexican and United States of American Government. Not the people. THE GOVERNMENT. Maybe if we collaborated with Mexico we might be able to help their country become more prosperous and weed out all the corrupt government officials and then mexicans would willingly go back to their own country. Without outside help Mexico will probably never prosper....But regardless of the outcome, I am ashamed of most americans because of their blatant racism and hatred of mexican americans as a whole.

I totally agree, you do not know how long I've been coming in here stating the same. All people can say are racial slurs. It is indeed the goverments that cause these type of situations. If the Mexican goverment, Along with the government of other Central American coutries, would only think about the people instead of themself, we wouldn't be in the situation.

I want to thank you for taking your time to state a fact.

People will never understand, they are to close-minded. But it was worth the try!

Bite Me!

In my opinion, Loretta, you act as if this only happens with Mexicans. There are scumbag men in every race. And a processing plant? You think anyone, no matter what race they are, working at a processing plant is classy? LOL.

I am a 100% Mexican, and I am proud of it. I came to this country when I was 15 years old. I am 26 now. I came here with no knowledge of English. I graduated from High School, and earned a Associates Degree and working my way up to get my Bachelor's Degree.

After saying that, I have not asked not even once money from the U.S. Government. I pay taxes like everybody else as well as my mom and all my relatives. It makes me upset that we get stereotype by people and telling us that we collect welfare.

I live in California, and I see a lot of Americans asking me for "spare change" on the streets. I never and will never give an American my money that I earned very hard. I see here a lot of Americans living on the government. LOTS OF THEM. They collect money because they can't work. How nice is that.

There are many Mexicans who are very hard workers, and people really should not even speak before they get their records straight . Is like me saying that all Americans are white trash.

Excellent points and an excellent headline to grab my attention. The problem with the corruption starts with the elite in Mexico who believe they are above the law and laws only apply to the lower classes. Mexico has almost no middle class even though it has been growing since the NAFTA agreements. They also have several BILLIONARES and a former corrupt president living in self imposed exile because his family got caught taken billions in foreign aid and putting it in the family accounts. Yes they are corrupt.

As for being lazy, some are some aren't. I believe the real problem many people have is that the Mexican worker expects to work long hours and for little pay. I had a neigbor who complained constantly about the Mexicans taking his job. He lost his job when the housing industry was in a slump. His boss asked him to take a 10 % cut in pay until the industry picked up. He refused. Then the company's drywall business ran short of cash and the owner asked the crew to work shorter hours. The Mexican workers adjusted to keep him in business and to keep their jobs. Many took second jobs. My neighbor couldn't find work in drywall anywhere. Then the housing industry took off again and the company had more work than it could handle. The Mexicans were given bonuses for helping out the owner. When my neighbor got rehired he complained because he didn't get a bonus. Then when the company asked everyone to work 12 hours a day six days a week my neighbor refused. He wanted the money but wanted time to for himself. He got fired because he wasn't Mexican (his claim). His boss said he whined too much and used racist terms for Mexicans. The last time I saw my neighbor he was moving becasue he couldn't get work in the drywall industry. He said the Mexicans stole his job. But the fact is, he was lazy and complained too much. I know must of the Mexicans were undocumented but if not for their work ethic, the drywall company would have had to hire a bunch of lazy whiners and the homes would have cost more.

Undocumented aliens are driving our economy. That is why there may be no immigration reform. Big business doesn't want anything changed.

Christa honey let me explain this to you.You know these nice people on here really don't have too many brains so I'll keep it simple.They are against ANY type of immigration reform because they can't read and comprehend.They also can't imagine what 12 million people looks like.They don't realize some STATES don't have 12 million people in them.They also think z-visa's will give the illegals the right to vote.But those of us with brains know this isn't true.But small people have small brains and this is a medical fact.So try to use really small words when you write ok? Thank you ...now get to work ! LOL and yes my coffee is cold.Come make me a cup!
signed, YOUR BOSS

There are BILLIONS of people around the world who have hard lives and want to move to the USA. They apply and wait their turn. Mexicans, on the other hand, do not give a sh*t about other people. They only care about themselves. They cut in line in front of the rest of the world and sneak into the USA ILLEGALLY.

They break our laws by sneaking into our country.
They don't pay taxes. They use our hospitals without
paying their bill. They have anchor babies and collect
welfare and WIC that American tax payers are forced to
pay for. They commit identity theft. They create
murderous criminal gangs. They have the highest drop
out rate of any race. They have the highest teen
pregnancy rate of any race because they are too stupid
to use birth control. They have 6 kids that can't
afford to raise because they know the American
taxpayer will pay the bill. They let their little
brats run around supermarkets annoying customers
because they have no idea how to raise children
properly. They steal anything that isn't nailed down.
They refuse to learn English. They expect Americans to
learn Spanish. They drive without a license or
insurance. They park in front of fire hydrants. They
are bad drivers. They pay $1,000 for a loud car
stereo even though the rest of their car is worth only
$100 so that they can blast gangster rap music and
annoy hundreds of law abiding citizens everyday. They
wave the Mexican flag in the USA. They do all these
things yet have the nerve to protest to ask for more
freebies from the USA taxpayer. They turn nice
neighborhoods into trashy Mexican neighborhoods like
Los Angeles. They brag that they are taking over the USA.

It is the ILLEGAL ones that Americans have issues with!!

chriscrosschrist

It is not just their government. Many Mexicans show great disrespect for US laws and culture. Some are even trying to claim that several parts of the US are stolen land that belongs to them. Actions and words like that will result in some of us not liking them and having something to say about it. Cause and effect.

shakky_wakky

It's because of social conservatives in the Republican Party, old people and quite a few of evangelical Christians who have stirred up this problem.

It is strange that white people forget that they came to America illegally because they never asked Native Americans for permission to settle. Shouldn't the whites in America also be deported.

2boys_mommy

finally someone who shares the same opinion as me!! I cant understand all the hate against MEXICANS..when they aint taking no ones job. They take the jobs that US CITIZENS wont take. & yes the Mexican government is very corrupt. & im so tired of hearing MEXICANS, mexicans, mexicans. Not only MEXICANS are here illegaly so why all the hate against them?

TomT

So, you want to open the border. You'll not like the results.

Layne B

It is not a question of laziness. It is a matter of breaking our laws, and then disrespecting those of us who want those laws enforced.

Melissa A

Who says Mexicans are lazy? They are some of the hardest workers I know...POEPLE are lazy no matter what race.

I think the issue here is the illagals who come into the US and want to receive money from the government to live on....money that hard working US citizens pay...and illegals do not!

boogeywoogy

Has anyone noticed the media's switch from "illegal alien" to "illegal immigrant"? I think the "Shrub" administration has weaseled that into the lingo to soften the blow of this asinine immigration bill just so they can influence us to support "immigrants" rather than "aliens".
My daughter-in-law came to this country LEGALLY and had to wait her turn in line to be awarded a green card. It took over 4 years because of the incompetence of the INS. Just imagine what will happen if "amnesty" is granted to all the illegals. It will be a HUGE logjam and super-unfair to those who use LEGAL channels.
Let your representatives know how you view this insanity!

First of all wicked shouldnt be saying things that are not correct,By Christina Bellatoni
The Washington Times | October 12, 2004

U.S. citizens who go to the polls Nov. 2 to decide local, state and national elections are likely to get more help from noncitizens this year than ever before.

Beyond requiring applicants to sign a pledge on voter-registration forms affirming that they are U.S. citizens, there is no way to prevent the nation's estimated 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens from casting ballots in November, area elections officials said.

Locally, only Virginia requires voters to provide their Social Security numbers, but the state does not require voters to show their Social Security cards.

"There is no way of checking," said Maryland State Board of Elections Administrator Linda H. Lamone.
And Im sorry if you feel you need to take care of the illegals,I personally have no use for them,I guess you could put it like this,what comes around goes around,they disrespect our country and our flag and abuse our recourses,and yell LaRaza. There are nearly five billion people in the world who live in countries poorer than Mexico. It can safely be assumed that many of those billionsâ€”like many Mexicansâ€”would love to come to the United States in search of higher consumption levels.

Some Americans think that would be a great thing. But everybody else thinks it would be a terrible disaster. A 1998 Roper Poll found that only six percent of Americans think we don't have enough people in the country.

Since this is a democracy, subjective questions like this one are best decided by the majority, and since the people have not yet voted the borders out of existence, we have to operate from the position that our country still has them.

One of the characteristics of borders is that it divides the human race into those within the borders and those outsideâ€”just like the door to your apartment divides the human race into those within your apartment, and those on the outside. Borders, like doors and locks, are exclusionary by nature.

In the modern age, of course, this seems like a great sin, since a primary modern virtue is "inclusion." We moderns have a difficult time saying "us" and "them."

It goes against our modern sensibilities to say to someone born in Switzerland or Bangladesh, "I'm sorry. You are excluded." To us, it seems "mean."

But it is not mean. It is realistic and necessary and prudent.

Keep in mind one thing: our country is already taking in far more immigrants every year than any other country in the world. This extremely high rate of immigration is causing our nation to undergo massive changes changes the majority of the people of this country don't even want.

Yet for all the people we are taking in, we are still taking in only a little more than one percent of the births-over-deaths population growth of the world. If we are going to be "compassionate" to all the foreigners of the world and dismiss the best interests of our own people, what about that other 99 percent?

Again, it is not mean to control our borders. It is necessary and realistic.
What is mean is leaving our children a country twice as populated as we found it for no good reason other than that we were too lazy, or too cringing, or too benighted, to defend our borders.

whiz

It's not a matter of being "mean" to anybody. It's a matter of enforcing our laws against illegal ALIENS, period.

Like another poster said there are BILLIONS of people around the world that would love to immigrate here. There's only one way to do it, the legal way.

Do you think Mexico is the only poor country in the world?? There are NUMEROUS countries that are poorer. Should we only admit immigrants from the poorest countries?? If so, Mexico would be bypassed.
Each COUNTRY gets a quota every year, that's the only fair way to do it.

micky

If I were leaving a corrupt country to make a better life in another country, I would not wave my countrys flag in the new country,expect them to learn my language, expect them to support me and my family,steal their jobs n laugh about it,nor would I tell them this new country belongs to me and my people and they should get out, I also would not act racially superior and rude.
The mexicans come here breaking laws and doing the things I described. That's where the hatred lies,they bring it on themselves.

B.Kevorkian

I don't think the point is to be 'mean' to anyone, just to encourage them to go home and fix thier own country's problems, rather than running away from them - to a country with a different set of problems.

And, yes, a lot of people throughout the world /do/ hate all Americans just because of thier nation's government. (Though many hate all Americans for a variety of other reasons, like religion, ancient grudges, percieved corporate imperialism, etc, etc).

jas30705

They should go back home and stand up for they're own country. It's no right to invade some other country with illegals that are stealing our jobs. Come to Georgia and try to get work if you want to see how bad it is. How would you like to hit in the rear of your car by an illegal with no insurance no proof of who he was and see him get a ticket and drive off. And your car is totaled and your out 10,000 in hospital bills and doctor bill. How would you feel about that. I Don't think you get it. Do you? Illegals are coming to this country in the wrong way. If they want to come do it legal live by the same laws we have to. They could ask America to help the fight to get they're country back. To: Chikis YOU are right in some ways but you and your family are 1 in a few. People or not talking about good people like you. It's the bad ones that spoil the bunch, so to speech..
