Why is it that you only hear people talk about illegal Mexican immigrants? ?
I'm mexican.
I was born here in the United States (Pasadena, CA to be exact)
So lately there has been a bunch of idiots on TV talking about how Mexicans are ruining the country by coming here illegally.
Um.. what about the illegal Asian (which there are many), Cuban, Canadian, European, ect.?????
Last time I checked the plaque on the Statue of Liberty says "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
Also... EUROPEANS HAVE BEEN IMMIGRANTS SINCE THE 1400's!
Just because you've been born with light skin makes you a higher class??
I have Native American blood in me..
So wouldn't that make me more American then these stupid Europeans who came over and stole the land from my ancestors??
I think the media is brainwashing people. Being mexican you get A LOT of the bullsh*t. I was born here in AMERICA but I still get treated by the way I look. WTF is up??

Oh my goodness, I so agree with you.. I was just about to write a question like that. I am american but I have a Mexican boyfriend and a beautiful daughter that is half hispanic. I am so proud of it. My brother in law is mexican and so is my nephew. I am glad someone else can see what I am thinking. They want to target the MEXICANs and I dont understand. All they do is come here and work hard. THEY WORK ALOT HARDER THAN MOST AMERICANS DO AND FOR LESS MONEY… Poeple dont treat them right. I would be one of the first people to say something to someone if I ever hear someone downgrade a mexican or talking about them like they dont belong here or something. I really have a BIG problem with the Indian poeple Like the ones that work @ subway and have state jobs and everything. They are some of the most rude poeple I have ever come in contact with. WHY DONT YOU EVER SEE ASIANS, AFRICANS, CUBANS, FRENCH, and any other person thats not AMERICAN being deported and talked about all the TIME… PEOPLE NEED TO GET GRIP AND realize that one day I really do beleive that AMERICA is going to be more foreingers and immigrants than Americans…. and I dont care what anyone says or does they will NEVER keep all IMMIGRANTS out of the USA… Sometimes I wish i was like an immigration lawyer or border patrol agent because I would let most of them over and do anythig I could for them…..Now the ones that are here and are in jail all the time and causing trouble I think that they should be deported, But some Mexicans get deported when they have been here for 10 years and they have children that they are helping raise and the government deports them… Thats about as low as you can get….. Anyway I could go on and on about this but……
Its the numbers, my friend, its the numbers.
54% of the 20 million illegal alien criminals in the US are from one country and one country alone–Mexico. Out of over 190 possible countries in the world they COULD be from….54% are from Mexico.
70% of the 20 million illegal alien criminals in the US are Latino…from Mexico, Honduras, Guatamala, etc.
This has nothing to do with the hue of your skin. Numbers dont lie. Lots of illegal alien criminals in the US, and the vast majority are from south of the border.
it’s illegal to cross the border without permission from the govt (we are nation of laws) please give the race card a rest zzzzzzzzzzzzzz boring and pick up a history book….
btw how can you be Mexican but born in United States of AMERICA….Your American.
You really don’t hear about illegal Mexican immigrants, you mainly hear about illegal aliens. Also, you may want to brush up on the real meaning to the Statue of Liberty and read the treaty of Guadalupe. It is when facts are not given properly that you begin to think it is hateful towards a particular race, when in fact it is not.
because in case u havent noticed theres a lot of mexicans running around, and if u add that to all the other illegals coming from other latin american counrties its even more. and u cant tell the difference because they all look the same and speak the same language.
maybe we should just bus anyone who wants to come over by the thousands…
why not? they’re tired, they’re poor..
how about not.. they can come over legally, like everyone else
The reason is they commit most of the crimes. If you don’t believe me come across the bridge. You say your from Pasadena Ca then you know what bridge I’m talking about come down to H.P. look at the walls vato.
Find me one clean one
Why are you calliing yourself "Mexican" if you are an American citizen? If you are a Mexican citizen and don’t like it here, you can return to your own country. If you are an American citizen, start calling yourself and thinking of yourself as an American. You can solve your own problems by changing your attitude.
Don’t worry about it. Every one that was born in America is not treated the same. And every ones ancestors came from some where else. They are ignorant as a whole. And yes i was born here. You think the mexicans have it hard. Try being black for awhile. Don’t let these mix marriages and mix children fool you like America is a piece of pie racially. I am black and almost seventy years old. I can tell you some stories that would raise the hair on your head. The mexicans are going through the same thing blacks have gone through in the past. We move away from the south and sent money back to our poor families. Worked hard and was honest group of people. And today we still have gotten no respect for it. And still not treated fairly. Read the story of the Tuskegee Airman and many others. I wish real history was taught in the schools. The mexicans and Blacks could bond together and wow what a combination in our endeavors. You will get a better understanding as you age. God is going to take care of it all.
You only hear about the Mexicans because they are the majority of the hard working immigrants in the US. People (blue collar workers) are outraged only because they have set the work ethics bar soo high, that they have to work that hard to compete with them.
Other people listen to the negative and fabricated propaganda made up by people we trust. People in office and people on TV. So in a sense! they have been brain washed to think that they are bad.
A good example if the Arizona County Attorney Andrew Thomas that even went as far as making up what he calls "Latin America-Style Violence" for ONE incident that happened in Phoenix, AZ. The negative propaganda in now being spread by groups like American Legion. Lou Dobbs from CNN is one of the worst that has claimed that illegals Mexicans bring in diseases.

Andrew Thomas Invents New Type of Crime: "Latin America-Style Violence"
There’s your typical, garden-variety USA-style violence.
Even worse, Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas seems to imply in his latest press release, is the dreaded "Latin America-Style violence."
But like the propaganda Thomas put forth in a recent public service announcement, Thomas’ attempt to capitalize shamelessly on the public’s xenophobia contains a dash of sheer nonsense.

Poisonous and untrue propaganda continues to leak into the national dialogue on undocumented migration to the United States.
the mexican illegals are more dominant and really like to make their presence known unlike the other illegals who like to keep a low profile.
ALL illegals need to get out of my Country
My guess is ignorance! People are so uneducated these days..it’s quite sad.
Because most illegals are mexican. Most are also very racist like yourself.
Europeans came here legally(there were no laws at that time) and made this a country so you should be thanking us. I will also remind you that "Native Americans" also immigrated here.
How do you think that plaque came to be there? It was a prize in a contest! Nothing to do with the statue of liberty but to help pay for building of the base! And then to have it installed was paid for because they needed more money! There is also a Hindu peace plaque! Does that mean we are now all Hindus?
Take a look at the world around you! More illegal aliens are Mexican than the rest of the world combined! From your ancestors? a few thousand Mexicans living in missions requesting the US take over their governance? How do you figure that? It’s all a Mexican pipe dream!
"Why are you calling yourself Mexican?" What kind of question is that?? He’s Mexican! Im Mexican and born in the US. Why can’t you just let him have this? Ugh, So many Americans try to tell you what to wear, where to live, what language to speak, how to spend your money, what you should stand up for, what you should believe in, that you’re right or that you’re wrong. It so freaken annoying! Why can’t we just be Mexican? Is that ok with everyone?
I know how you feel!! I speak very well English (obviously) and soooo many ppl still talk to me in Spanish first (even white ppl!) Annoying! Then the "when did you get your papers?" Ugh, what! Im a Citizen, just cause im MEXICAN doesn’t mean im illegal or racist! I speak Spanish, listen to Spanish music, watch TeleMundo AND I send MY money back to my cousins in Mexico. And? Im a Citizen of the US, I can speak whatever language I want, listen to whatever music I want, watch whatever channel I want, and do whatever the he!! I want with MY money! Get over yourselves!!!!
All my great great great grandparents, then grandparents are Mexican, making my parents Mexican, therefore making me Mexican.
We’re MEXICAN get over it!
