Do illegal aliens bother anyone else?? Seriously, I live in Utah and I feel like I live in Mexico. Its so sad! Everywhere I go I feel like I need to know Spanish. I can't order McDonalds without being 100% confused on what the hell they are saying and then they look at me like I am the asshole. It bothers me when I am walking down the street or to my car and they whistle at me and speak spanish...I can't even imagine what they are saying. I have gotten so mad that I have poured my drink out on this dudes head for whisteling at me. I feel like they are raping me with there eyes. I hate that I can't go to the doctor without waiting for 4 hours to be seen and there are all these mexican women in waiting with 5 snot nosed kids to be seen by a doctor for free. I am not racist but if they want to be here, then learn the language, get a job, get off our welfare, get your tubes tied and respect us. What other country would allow us to go there and treat them that way?? Not one. What the hell?

Haha, sorry to those of you who got offended. Sometimes the truth hurts. Honestly, how hard is it for mexicans to learn english, learn some manners, not to park there cars on there lawns, use birth control and treat America with respect? If its to hard to have some common sense then go home. You are invading us like cockroaches....sometimes I wish a huge can of raid would do the trick. But who am I to judge right...I am only a legal citizen of this country.

Some of you have asked me if I am just as angry at Chinese people when I go into a Chinese restraunt, and why am only angry at Mexicans. First of all Asians don't act like we owe them something. They are not trying to get a free ride. They don't disrespect our country. So for those of you that think I am close minded and am racist I don't think you are seeing the whole picture here. Do you ever watch the news? Robberies Rapes and murders are always on tv and the majority of suspects are Mexicans. Its disgusting! They are ruining our country by trying to make it their own. Can you think of one other country that would let illegals in? Would they change everything to be in both languages to accomodate the illegals. Would they let them live on there welfare? I was in Vegas a few months ago and saw a car with 5 mexicans in it, on the window there was a mexican flag and below that was a sticker of that boy peeing on an american flag. How sick is that?

I feel your pain, but if your up for fun, next time your ordering in a restaurant tell them no onions and extra cheese, talk about confusion!!! Pretty sad isn't it that this is what our nation has come to??
And to answer your original question...heck yea it bothers me and everyone that I know.
I would tell you to cuss out those men in their own language, but if they act like that already you don't want to fan the flames, just take the high road.
For ~numprincess~ the US didn't steal part of the southwest from Mexico!!! Geez study your history....we won those states in the war (when the Americans at the time Kicked Mexicos butt) and paid for the rest.... a very hefty sum at that. YOu don't like it too bad, but don't be spouting lies like they are facts!!!

The part that bothers me is the "illegal". My ancestors were immigrants but they followed the laws of this country and became citizens. I've taught in schools in Southern California where half of the class was made up of children who lived with relatives here during the week and went home to parents in Mexico on the weekend. The financial burden on the school systems isn't insignificant.
However, it also bothers me that by being illegal so many of these people who are looking for a better life end up exploited by greedy businessmen. There are creeps on both sides of the issue and there are rude people in all cultures and all Mexican men shouldn't be judged by those who have no class and stand on the corner harassing women.

FYI: you do sound like a racist, you think just because some men whistle at you, and there are some women that have a few kids that see the doctor for free, and they happen to be Mexican, that all Mexicans are that way, please get over yourself. There are perverts in all races and colors, same goes for the people on welfare. All the people from Mexico that I know are the hardest workers that I've ever seen. You need to step out of your little simple mind and stop stereotyping all Mexicans because of a few bad experiences you may have encountered.

With all due respect, THIS IS AMERICA!
get over it, do you feel the same about the asians when you go to a chinese restaurant or go to the salon and get your nails done and they are babbling in chinese, or to the convienent store where the Indians are chattering in their language? They have a right just like everyone else for a better life and as far their legality is concerned, complain to your president and your government for not keeping our borders more secure. I say if they made it across the border and can find work and provide for their families, MORE POWER TO THEM, let them be. Get over yourself, they are probably making fun of you and not eyeing you for sexual reasons, (i'm going to assume you are white here) NOT EVERY MEXICAN'S GOAl IS TO SlEEP WITH A WHITE GIRl! Is it them being here that bothers you or that you personally feel threatened by a minority who gets bigger by the second and have encroached on your land which ultimately will cause cross-breeding?? If hearing another language makes you feel so scared and threatened, i strongly adivse you never to travel, or much less leave your house! Maybe Utah needs to get a clue...come to texas, or better yet go to New York and see how many different languages you hear in one day. And why does it bother you that they are working jobs us AMERICANS feel too good for! Shitty jobs, hard labor, long hours in the hot sun that no one wants to do in the first place poses the need for immigrants to come into this country and fill AVAIlABlE Jobs that we are TOO GOOD for anyway. I'm not sure about the hispanics you encounter in your part of the USA, but this is 2006 and everywhere i look, myself, family and friends included are HISPANIC and will be the boss of your grandkids and their grandkids, paying their salaries and giving them the jobs we are too educated and rich to fill. By the way, I'm hispanic (no, we are not all from MEXICO) and it really ticks me off to hear such ignorance. Its that type of thinking that caused slavery and still today causes hate crimes and spreads discrimination. If we're going to make it a race issue, what about the caucasian and african-american people that are a drain on our economy, and not to mention are a huge majority on welfare?! Is it ok because you can understand their language? So if they stare you down and throw cat calls its ok, as long as its in English and by someone who voted for bush. I'm sure if you went to Mexico and spoke German they would not be pissed off, they just wouldnt understand you and you wouldnt be able to order, unless u can say CERVEZA! Bottom line, u should re-evaluate your stereotypes and if your gonna be racist, at leat don't discriminate, be racist to All RACES! Have a wonderfully plain, uninteresting and culturally devoid day.

Illegals don't bother me at all- the white people came to this country the same way, the Indians told us to stay off there land.
In the process we took their land and put them on a reservation.
I think its funny because it is kind of like getting paid back.
are you ready to live on a white reservation? Don't tell me things were different back in those days, maybe they were but, but the reasons were the same.........a better life.
You are right about the language. English has become the second language. Make a phone call and sometimes you "to hear this in english press 1".
To answer your question " does it bother anyone else"
My answer is no it does not.

Clearly ILLEGAL immigration has reached alarming proportions. The massive number of immigrants breeching our borders daily is a threat not only to our homeland security but to the daily economic well being of the citizens of the United States. Illegals do the jobs others won't do? Bullshit. If corporation X has to pay the going rate for unskilled labor to harvest their crops then the going rate will be adjusted based on supply and demand in the labor market. Of course if corporation X has an unlimited supply of cheap, unskilled labor with no legal rights to speak of (read illegal aliens) then market forces are being manipulated. Supply and demand are no longer the driving force dictating labor prices. The United States Government knows this and, being in bed with big business, has no incentive to change (read lockdown) our southern border. It's simply another case of American citizens being sold out by the wonderful people who 'represent' us. When are the American citizens going to wake up? Vote the bums out. I REPEAT. VOTE THE BUMS OUT. Anyone who argues for an amnesty program for existing ILLEGAL immigrants is, in effect, aiding and abetting criminal activity. If giant agri-business has to pay $12/hr to AMERICAN workers for harvesting crops then so be it. It's supposed to be the Republican ideal, right? Let the market dictate the price? Supply and demand and all that other bullshit? I guess that's the prevailing Republican (and Democratic) philosophy whenever it's convenient. God forbid big business has to actually pay people a living wage. In closing all of you illegal immigrants,MAKE SOMETHING OF THE COUNTRY YOU CAME FROM. Only so many people can fit in the boat called the United States of America before it will capsize.

Speaking of someone in a derogatory manner is racist. What's sad is you don't even acknowledge or know that you are. Yes I agree that the borders should be tightened up for security reasons. Mexicans, Black, Indian, Irish, the whole melting pot of origins is what makes this country so great. Betcha didn't know that you are an immigrant too.

I'm not surrounded by immigrants like you seem to be, but it DOES bother me that anyone should come here to have their children (at our expense) so their children can get an education (at our expense) and they can get a job to send money south of the border (draining our economy of working capital). I am not for amnesty. Let them all stand in line with the Canadians and the Europeans to apply for citizenship, and wait their turn like they should. Once they've become a card-carrying North American, then they're OK to be here becaause they're making a contribution to our tax base and doing their part. The illegals need to get legal.
