Dont forget that in those times the Jews were one of the most hated ethnic groups because of their beliefs. and if you measure now with our times I think mexicans are now the jews and romans are the americans (cause Rome was the #1 Empire in those times)

Whoever says Jesus didn't break the law doesn't know the Bible. During the Roman times, Caesar was considered a God. July and August are named for Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus.
Jesus said there was a kingdom in Heaven, and that there was only one true God, his Father. Don't let people tell you Jesus didn't break laws, because that was one of his earthly accomplishments; He broke unjust and immoral laws.
Who says Mexicans can't be Jews? Sammy Davis Jr was a Jew. NO synagogues in Mexico? Another ignorant lie/

1) The Jews hated Jesus as much as the Romans did. The jews were the ones that also wanted him crucified. Your analogy doesn't make any sense.
2) United States of America is a republic not an empire
3) Americans don't hate mexicans. They are angry at illegal immigrants that illegally cross the border and commit crimes, ruin our economy, and threaten our soverignty. The americans always have and are welcoming immigrants to the USA. Legal ones, not illegal.
4) Americans wouldn't cruify anyone or shoot anyone that was illegal. As opposed to the mexican and south american governments that would kill/harm illegals that came into their own country.
5) Jews were not the most hated ethnic group in those times.

You are hysterical, proven by the fact that America has crucified no Mexicans, and does not crucify anyone. And our capital punishment is reserved for the worst and most dangerouis murderers. When you introduce that sort of ignorant hyperbole into your politics people stop listening to you; and in this case assume you have been listening, yourself, to one nut-job too many.
By the way: There is no evidence whatsoever that Americans hate Mexicans. That would be irrational since we would be hating ourselves. Much of America's population is made up of native Mexicans and the sons, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren (and so on) of Mexican immigrants.
When you accuse people of harboring hatred which they do not harbor it causes one to think you unbalanced of mind.
And finally, in the time of Jesus, Jews were not hated. Israel belonged to the Jews, even though it was politically controlled (to varying extents) by the Romans. Many Jews hated the Romans, but most did not. And the Romans hated no people. They could be brought to wrath if you did not follow the laws of Rome, but that is politics, not hate.
You need to get off your Noam Chomsky kick. Chomsky is a liar, and when he is not precisely lying he is stretching the truth into something unrecognizable. And Chomsky is one of the most spectacular haters around. He hates our country with a such venom that he likely could use some form of psychiatric medication.

Well, no. First, Jesus was Hebrew, The Romans conquered by territory, not belief. The Jews were not hated any more than the other people the Romans had conquered.
Your question is really an attempt to provoke animosity. Sorry, that doesn't work here.
Jesus was executed under Roman Law for the 'crime' of Sedition, "claiming to be the king of the Jews". Caesar was the only 'legal' ruler.

Jesus says somewhere in the Gospels that we should always follow the laws of our country and our government, even if we don't like them, in which case we can protest non-violently.
There is absolutely no comparison between ancient Rome and modern America.
Even though there is some injustice here, it's the Mexicans' problem if they don't want to follow our rules; America isn't discriminating against Mexicans; the immigration laws apply to all countries, it just happens that Mexicans want in the most. That's the Mexican government's fault, not the U.S. governement's.

WOW! Thats the biggest stretch I've heard in a long time. Hmmm... you didn't mention anything about how the Mexican government shoots people trying to cross their southern borders. There are legal ways to get here. People here don't hate Mexicans, just have problems with people coming here illegally and breaking the laws. I have Mexican-American friends that feel the same way.

Jesus was a Jew. The Jews rejected him. See John 1:11.
If Jesus had been a Mexican, the Mexicans would have rejected Him. You don't know the Bible, do you?

Actually The Samaritans were the most hated even the Jews would travel approx 70 miles out of their way so as not to go into the country of Samaria

If Jesus had been a mexican, he would have stayed there to help the mexicans. He wouldn't be helping and encouraging them to illegally enter another country to take what is not theirs. Did He ever once encourage the poor to steal to survive? Does it really have to mean that we hate mexicans because we don't want to give them a free ride?
