What is the point of being so hateful towards illegals Mexicans?

Fluttery

Because they feel the need to patronize something so they pick those that can't legally fight back.I'm not sure if thats the exact way I wanna put it or not but I hope you get my point.

The thing that really bugs me is the "mexican" part.Hell,there are billions of illegal immigrants here,not just mexican ones.Why does every person of latino descent have to be labeled an illegal mexican?That is racism,pure and simple.Oh sure,they claim it's because the "majority" of illegals come from mexico.Sure,they come IN from mexico,but it don't mean they were born there.But just cause they are latino, they are mexican.Honduranian?El Salvadoranian?Guatamalan?NOPE,just Mexican.How much more bigotry does there have to be?Not to mention the honduranians and dominican republicans that look black...ya know,they never get accused of being illegal mexicans.Why???Because their skins not latino brown.Or all the white skinned Canadians here illegally.Why don't they get accused?Because their skins white.I don't think our country has improved at all in the last 50yrs.Everythings still about color.

I have a best friend of mine who is mexican american.ALL the time she is questioned "Do you speak english?"But never in an adult tone.It's always in the "I think mexican people are 2yr odls "tone.It always amazes other americans that she is american,born and bred.Her parents are legal citizens as well.

One more thing : for that stupid person above ^^^ who wrote that she sees illegal mexicans standing in the charity lines.HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE ILLEGAL?Do you drive by and ask to see their green cards?Do you know each one personally?More hipocrasy and racism shinning through.

how do they make my life easier? I have to pay all the taxes that go towards their health care and education which they don'T pay a penny for.

It's not hate, and not just mexicans. All illegals are a threat to our country's security and culture. We have no problem if they respect our laws and enter this country properly, stop trying to make this into something it's not...

WE WANT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OUT.

Heavy Metal God

Hundreds of medical facilities in Califoria alone are on the brink of being shutdown because of the exorbitant cost of medically treating illegal immigrants. So go ahead, ask those thousands of doctors, nurses, and hospital workers that are about to lose their jobs how illegal immigrants are making their lives "easier".

If they want a better life, why can't they do like all the law abiding immigrants and come in here legally?

How hard is it to apply for a visa, come to the United States, learn English, and apply for citizenship? Not very hard, considering how many people do it.

I have no pity for those whose very first thing they do when they come here is break the law. They are a massive drain on our system, and part of the reason why our healthcare is through the roof in costs - not to mention Welfare and their incessent demands that the government do business in Spanish so they can understand it.

And for the record...I want ALL of the ILLEGAL immigrants out of this country. I don't care where you came from, but if you aren't here on a visa or aren't a citizen...get out of this country. You don't belong and you aren't wanted here if you can't follow the laws.

From what I have found posted on this webb site, the illegals from Mexican or other countries, give as good as they get. Who could forget the first march in May 1, 2006, these were not people who were asking pretty please, they were demanding rights that were not theirs to have. The problem with them wanting a better life, is two fold, first it is not up to them to decide their better life should be here, and the pursuit of the American Dream comes out of the tax payers pocket As to the Canadians, there is no way you can compare the handful of Canadians to the millions of Mexicans that are here illegally

I don't see any Canadians hanging out in the Home Depot parking lot making wolf whistles at my wife and daughters.

Hypocrisy? Do you really want to use that word when speaking about ILLEGAL Mexican immigrants? The American people are angry; and while that is no excuse to hate another culture or a specific person, the anger itself is QUITE justified.

Illegal immigrants are coming here by the millions: FACT.

These illegals refuse to pay taxes: FACT

They are swamping the hospitals so badly (and unable to pay their bills) that hospitals are having to actually shut down: FACT

They refuse to follow American law concerning taxes, theft, spousal abuse, and more: FACT

They refuse to learn the language or respect the culture: FACT

They are swamping the schools so badly that teachers have to simplify curriculums and spend half their time trying to teach English: FACT

A bill that stated that ANY ILLEGAL immigrant caught participating in a felony (rape, murder, theft) would be immediately deported, was proposed...the illegals protested and threatened the American people with violence: FACT

Are all illegal Mexican like this? No, of course not. But most of them are. And when "most of them" equals in the millions, you have quite the mess on your hands.

Oh and one other fact.

Legal Hispanic Americans and immigrants, are on average, DISGUSTED by the behavior the illegals. It gives them a bad name and embarasses them to no end.

I have nothing against Mexicans. I have dated them, they have been a part of my family, I have them as friends.

ILLEGAL Mexicans are another story entirely.

What hyposcrisy? They don't make our lives easier that's bull**** and they don't come here for a better life that's bigger bull****.

If they want a better life go to China because they aren't going to turn this country into it.

It might be hypocricy if we saw Canadian flags being waved at the protest rally. Your only seeing hatred towards Mexicans, because your bias. I have seen an equal amount of hatred towards Americans/Caucasains. I do not favor targetting Mexicans. All ethnic groups who are not legally here should leave. Frankly I'm From California. I only know one Canadian living here, and she's legal. I can't kick people out that I can't find.

Americans have problems with illegal immigrants! Doesn't matter if they are from Mexico, France, Germany, Canada or even Mars!!!

Majority of illegals are from Mexico or other South American countries.

Illegals coming to America for a better life is hypocrisy! If they want to live and work in the US then they should become citizens!!!!!!!

They take up Educational Resources that could be used on people like you.

Your question should have been"What is the point of being so hateful towards Illegal Immigrants from the United Mexican States". Your questions suggest that there are people going to the United Mexican States illegaly.

Educating Illegals Costs $900 per American Child
Because illegal aliens typically earn so much less than natives, their economic contribution is much less than their numbers would suggestâ€” and immigration enthusiasts incessantly claim.

But illegal aliensâ€™ cost to the American taxpayer is another matter. For example, the children of illegal aliens are currently being educated at American taxpayer expense because of the Supreme Courtâ€™s disastrous 1982 Plyler vs. Doe decision. The expense of this is high and disproportionate:

An estimated 1.1 million school-aged illegal immigrants are living in the U.S. [Source: Michael Fix and Jeffrey Passel, â€œU.S. Immigrantsâ€”Trends and Implications for Schools,â€ The Urban Institute, 2003.]

The U.S.-born children of illegals, technically citizens by virtue of the current misinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, could easily be twice that number (my conservative estimate, based on the overall ratio of children to immigrantsâ€”see table.) Thatâ€™s another 2.2 million.

At $8,745 per pupil (the average annual cost of K-12 public education in the U.S.) the cost of educating illegals and their children comes to $29 billion ($8,745 times 3.3 million children).

ESL, bilingual, and other immigrant-oriented programs can raise per-pupil costs by 15 to 25 percent. That pushes the cost of educating illegals to $36 billion.

To put it another way, illegal aliens are imposing an additional cost amounting to $900 per American child (i.e. child of American-born parents) in the public school system.

What about the total impact of immigration on education? More than one in five K-12 students are immigrants (legal or illegal) or the children of immigrants. We know this thanks to the Current Population Survey, a sort of mini-census taken each month by the Census Bureau. The survey asks respondents if they are immigrants and if their parents were immigrantsâ€”legal status unspecifiedâ€”thus allowing us to isolate the impact of immigration on school enrollment.

The October 2001 Survey shows:

51.355 million children enrolled in K-12

2.299 million foreign born children enrolled in K-12

10.596 million children of foreign born enrolled in K-12

K-12 education now costs $415 billion, or 4% of GDP. Based on the enrollment figures, immigrants must account for at least one-fifth of this amount, or about $85 billion.

More importantly, immigration (legal and illegal) is responsible for virtually all the recent growth in school-age population. We can see this by comparing the CPS reports for October 1998 and October 2001. In that period:

The total number of school age children enrolled in K-12 grew by 621,000

Foreign born children enrolled in K-12 grew by 96,000

Children of foreign born enrolled in K-12 grew by 601,000

I am not trying to be hateful to anyone and my stand on illegal aliens is that all of them from everywhere should be deported. This is a legal issue not a racial or skin color issue.

Quasi Moto

An estimated 70% of the illegal immigrants in the US are Mexican; therefore, it is generalized as a Mexican problem. If you look at prior discussions the vast majority wish to solve the illegal immigrant problem regardless of race and nationality.

The fact that 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants are in the US is appalling.

Is it fine to be hateful to illegals from somewhere else?

Illegal immigration is ruining our schools and services. It hasn't been a 'marginal' problem for decades now. It is overwhelming our infrastructure and dramatically reducing opportunities for our own children who do not happen to be rich.

they dont make our lives easier. THEY MAKE IT WORSE.
We have no jobs because of them. My dad has been laid off twice, and its mostly all illegals that work there. You tell me how an illegal can work without having a green card and a social security number. They shouldnt be working here at all. And plus they are coming in here illegaly by committing a crime again tell me how they are making our lives easier they arent its getting worse. If they had done what they were supposed to there wouldnt be a problem, plus they arent paying taxes instead we are paying theres and giving them a free college education and AGAIN tell me how thats easier and they are getting free food stamps.. the only people in this country that should be getting food stamps is the americans who dont have money because we are losing our jobs and again you explain to me why they are making it easier for us what have they done, nothing.
I have nothing against someone coming here legaly and doing it the right way but when they come here without permission then i have a problem.

kitty fresh & hissin' crew

I don't think that they make our lives easier, but I'm really not a hater. When I see someone of Mexican descent on the street, I just assume that they are here legally.

I agree with you, anyone that enters this country illegally should be sent back to the country from which they came. But I am torn on this one. Imagine the consequences of sending back all of the illegal Mexicans. Yes, maybe you do have your own garden, care for your children, and clean your own house. But as much as you do not want to admit it, mexican labor DOES make your life easier. You may clean your own house, but they BUILT your house. Imagine the same house built not by Mexican's but by American men. Your house would cost double, at least. And the produce and meat that you buy at the store, DOUBLE. Why do you think that you look on the inside of your clothing tags and it says, made in China, Mexico, etc..?? Because the labor done by other nations is WAY cheaper than American labor. I'm only 18 years old and I have realized that. Do you still think they don't make your life easier? Think again.

Richard C

It has become such a hateful contest....just a means for those with shallow lives to feel important...comparable to the bullies on the playground in 2nd Grade.
