Americans generally don't have problems with different races, it's more the actions of certain groups. Many of the Mexicans that are flooding over the border refuse to assimilate by learning American customs and English. In many ways, since there are so many of them, they continue life as if they were still in Mexico and force Americans to adapt to them instead of the other way around (e.g., making us use Spanish to communicate with them). This is where much of the resentment is rooted in.
The opposing view always says that they shouldn't have to turn their back on their heritage - no one says that you have to alter your lives and forget about your Mexican heritage. Just try to learn English and show some RESPECT to our laws and customs. If you want to live here, become an American, not a Mexican living in America.
