why can't i and other Americans speak out aginst the rising problem of illegals invading this country, If we do were branded racist.. Well i have a few friends who are mexican who came here Legally and they speak out even louder then i do about illegals! why arnt they branded racist?

I live within 1000 yds. of the mexican border and I can tell you its is not guarded I have at least 100 illegals a wk. come to my house and ask for water and they are not the least bit afraid of being caught. They have been told by others how big a joke our border is and they even have a sense of arrogance about them when they talk about our border they actually think mexico still owns this land.

I thought it was a blatant attempt to convince weak-minded people to think breaking the law was ok, and to think otherwise meant you are a 'racist'.

I think a day with out a mexican, would expose the companies that illegally hire them because the want ads would suddenly be bursting and the gov't could easily see who the illegals worked for.
I also thought it was 'racist' as MANY LEGAL immigrants from other countries do the low end work because of language barriers and disparate educations.
I married a mexican so I don't want a day without her, but without the illegals?
A day, week, month, year, decade and lifetime?
Fine by me!
What do you think?
johnny zondo, you say this:
stop being racist and remember that you white people need mexicans
I reply:
stop being racist and remember that mexicans need white people to give you jobs!
Go down to baton rouge and see white, black, cajun and creol people who live on k a year!
see on mexicans doing menial jobs for next to nothing!
They are born in america and THEY want a better life too.
but they are poor and often have no choice, but illegals choose to be law breakers!
and the movie assumes that anyone who is anti ILLEGALS is anti mexican. THIS IS A LIE!
I hate the fact that they are LAWBREAKING CRIMINALS!
How the gov. could control that??? Impossible!!! Peolple will keep hiring illegals and illegal will keep working!
brazil girl, you paint yourself as intelligent, so stop playing that you do not understand!
you ARENOT an example, as you are legal and so on. and as for the above quote,
that arguement is absolutely false and you know it. apply that reasoning to ANY other crime
drug dealing, murder for hire, mafioso activity,
selling answers to tests, kidnapping (they will always kidnap and parents will always pay!)
perhaps the one quality you lack is
HONESTY!
See the wizard, he can help you now
follow, follow, follow, follow
follow the yellow brick road!

why? its actually considered an insult to the land you come to, if you come to live there and not bother to try and communicate with the people, not bother to learn their heritage and way of life, and you dont respect their flag and wave yours in their face...im tired of not getting hired at jobs because i dont speak spanish....thats just me...and im not racist i just dont like people coming here and waving a mexican flag in my face when i just spent the last 5 years in iraq fighting for the american flag....i dont know....if i went to mexico and marched down the street waving red white and blue, id get jumped......lol, but i wouldnt do that because i respect other peoples countries and ways of life...
lol yep thats right lol
mujer alta, good point, but i really dont believe that the mexican immigrants "love to countries at the same time" ...i get mean mugged by them hen im at wal mart, every business one of them is fortunate enough to own gets decorated with nothing but red white and green, and the thing about "the home language is easier to resort to when your frustrated or nervous" is true, much like ricky ricardo when he gets mad on i love lucy, but they dont just speak spanish when their angry, they speak nothing but, REFUSING to even learn ANY english, they walk into an american bank to conduct business, and start spewing spanish to the white teller, and if the teller doesnt understand them, they get angry and threaten to sue, (my gf is a banker ive seen it first hand) also, i dont think they love this country because if there was a draft for the iraq/afghan war, and illegals were allowed to be drafted, i doubt any of them would go fight for this country
burger k, thats fine, i dont care if you dont care about my service in the military, thats why i fought, so people like you can remain free and have the right to spit on the military...but anyway, since you want to nit-pick my words, then i mean the United States of America Flag...that better? ...and theres two types of people in this country, those who go to college during a time of war, and those who go to war during a time of war....either side is fine, but if your a college guy please dont spit on the ones that went to war for your freedom...becuase we are fighting so you can have the freedom to attend a university. but that shows me how much YOU love america, being so quick to say that you dont give a crap about my service, .....nice one patriot.
burger k, im not asking you to respect and honor me like im a GOD, im just asking you to please not spit on me....got it? and im not suprised that your mexican because you obviously show it with that gangster sh*t talking mentality of yours. so your not an american, you dont love america, buy your quick to come here and attend one of our universities? hmm yep get what you can from america and then when your done using us to benefit yourself, talk sh*t and go back to mexico...gee why does that sound familiar? you leech. i hope this illegal immigration problem gets to the point to where we go to war with mexico, then me and my marines can wipe your sorry asses out like we did iraq. people like you who serve no purpose in this world but to use americas benefits to help yourself out, then when ur done give us the finger...lol keep digging yourself a hole...go attend a university in mexico then idiot
burger k we will regret it? really? well thats the same thing iraq said, do you actually think mexico would beat the U.S. in a war? they would beat us when the country cant even feed their own people? lol since you wanna get racist ill get racist too, what are you gonna do? shoot chimi changas and throw burritos at us? lol does mexico even have aircraft? oh and by the way, all we would have to do to defeat you is tell the mexican citizens "whoever kills a mexican servicemen gets U.S. citizenship!! lol then you would have your hands full lolololol

AMERICA WILL GO ON WITHOUT ILLEGALS
YOU GO FIREWOMAN I LIKE YOUR STYLE
sancho is so wrong

They always say that they came here to get away from the awful place that is Mexico. Yet, on many cars and vans, they have big Mexico flags on the windows and mirrors. If you feel proud to display your Mexican flag, then why not stay in Mexico and try to improve a country that is falling apart. Instead, the illegals come here in our country, yet walk around speaking Spanish and show no effort whatsoever in fitting in the American society. Doesn't this seem hypocritical? If I were a Mexican, I would try and repair my country, not just for my sake, but for my kids and their kids sake. BUT, if I did decide to break the law and come to America, I certainly would try to fit in and adapt to a new culture. I would retain my own personal heritage, but at the same time, be determined to be a "real" American.

Does anyone else agree?
Okay, technically speaking, they were here first. But, when we came over across the ocean, there were no immgration laws. AND, we didn't come over here and mooch off their system and economy.

This argument has no legs.

If you're so proud of your country, why leave it?
Musica-You make a good point. But I feel there is a difference in Irish, Italian, German people. For the most part, they have come over LEGALLY, and have learned the English language. They try to fit in. The reason I'm singling out Mexicans is because they are here in the millions...by far the greatest number. And, most are here illegally.
*justme*

First let me reply by commending you on your service to our country. I was in the Navy for 4 years, and did two tours to Iraq.

Now on to your argument. You say that my question is idiotic? I do admit that what I was trying to ask didn't exactly appear in the little space they leave you for your question. My problem is Mexican that come over to America, illegally. Some come over and learn English and try and fit in. But the majority of them do not. The reason they leave Mexico and risk their lives is because Mexico is not a great place to live. To them, America is a great place to live, so they come, legally or illegally. For the ones that come legally, I respect a great deal. For the others, I have no respect for. If I were to move to Japan, would it be fair for me to ask that everyone there learn English so it would be easier on me? Of course not...but that is exactly what the Mexicans are doing. That is disrespectful to this country that they love? Press 2 for Spanish
-justme

I have no problem with people being proud of where they come from. But if you're proud of it, why risk life to leave that country? And then to shove the Mexica flag and Spanish language down our throats...how can anyone in their right mind think that's okay? This is America, not Mexico. We speak English here, not Spanish. And yes "justme", there are millions and millions of illegall Mexicans in this country. Many of them are commiting crimes and going unpunished. Why? Because there are no records of htem because they're undocumented. What would become of me if I snuck into Mexico, put a big USA flag on the back windshield of my truck. Had USA flags all over my house. I walked around not understanding anyone because I wanted to speak my language. Do you think the Mexican people would help me and give me the "press 2 for English" option? Absolutely NOT.

There are many different types of illegals here like Chinese to which the government gives them money to start businesses and buy homes etc....
Yet everyone focuses on the mexicans, the mexicans, the mexicans
GET A LIFE
I am american and so are they in case you didn't know we all live in North America. There country is United States of Mexico.Different country but still americans.
No they don't give money to illegals but tell me one other race that we allow over here with little to no ? asked and they do give them money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you guys think that their all Mexicans and their not

Mexico has no special privilege to dump its problems on us. Mexico is one of our largest oil suppliers. Do those poor indians see any of that oil revenue? Doubtful. The more illegals we let in, the longer Mexico can avoid having to fix the problems in their own country where the spanish elites live high on the hill while indian peasants have to resort to "el Norte". If immigration activists really hate whitey so much, then talk to Mexican whiteys who run that country like a feudal estate.

I think it is politically incorrect, because we suppose to stereotype and portray Mexicans as illegals and undereducated farmers.
And we suppose to portray ourselves (US Citizens ) as wealthy, educated and powerful people who know all about everything.
