Are you anti-illegal, anti-illegal mexican or just anti-mexican, i can seem to put my finger on it yet. Half of you who cry havok about illegals always end up saying something antisematic about mexicans wether legal or illegal, so it seems less an anti-illegal issue and more an anti-mexican issue. If I walk down the street, half of you would probably think i'm an illegal just because i'm mexican, and i wouldn't doubt one or two of you would yell something at me. But if you knew me, you would change your mind about me and say something like not all mexicans only the illgeals, well that wasn't what you portrayed at first. Why the ignorance? No one complained about cubans celebrating by flaunting the Cuban flag on American soil. I thought the argument was "wave the American flag in America and no other flag", but it didn't seem to bother anyone. Yet if I fly the Mexican flag in celebration of a cultural holiday, i get stoned to death.

You know, I think the confusion largely stems from the fact that when the anti illegals state they're anti illegal immigration from ANYWHERE, which happens to be the truth in my case anyway, you will find some pro illegals standing up as a man, pulling the racist card and defending Mexicans ... as if they were the only ones being picked on ...following the old adage that if you repeat something often enough, some idiots will end up believing it ... I have yet to hear one single pro illegal standing up saying, hey, listen, you're just anti German ... or you're just anti Irish ... or wherever ... the question of illegals is just that ... secure our borders, and deport ALL illegal aliens from wherever ... as far as I'm concerned, it has nothing to do with Germans, Mexicans or the man in the Moon ... if the pro illegals could in an unbiased way discuss the problem of illegal immigration rather than go on the defense about Hispanics, maybe they would be more credible ....

It's not good to judge people regardless of race. However illegals are wrong and it's a crime to come to the US without proper documentation and/or approval. Simple as that. No if and's or buts. It's a crime. Most illegals are Mexican/Spanish because their country(s) are close to the U.S. which make it easier for them to come over. Some people assume all Spanish are illegals because of this. That's the mentality some people carry. Though it's wrong. The U.S. is a country full of immigrants which makes it very diverse. Basically no one here can say they are natives. Most can trace their ancestry to Europe, Asia, and Africa. However, you have to understand that we live in a society of ignorance. There will always be ignorant bigoted people. That's something that we cannot change. Some of the people's descendants who came over here on a boat a hundred years ago from Europe are calling other people immigrants and illegals and mandating they go back home. It's almost like a witch pot calling a tea kettle black. You understand? You just have to ignore it and know that those people will never be happy because they live a life of hate and evil. Nothing good will happen to them. You can't let them dictate how you live your life or who you are.
On the other hand, when you are here whether it be illegally or legally you need to accept American culture and language. Simple as that. You can't do the same things you did in Mexico. The primary language in the US is english. Learn English. The US doesnt need to learn Spanish because you say you can't understand English. The customs are different and if you want to immigrate or come to America that's a sacrifice you will have to make. Any other country cannot go to another country and mandate language changes, government incentives, labor changes and so on. We can't go to Russia and mandate for them to speak English for us and have a option for it on every telephone prompt and demand equal rights, opportunities, and government cash assistance. Don't come to the US and complain that your needs arent being met. If that's the case, you can raise the same awareness and arguments with your own country's government and maybe then you wouldn't feel the need to have to come to the US for a "better life".

Thats just the way it is sorry, but even the legal mexicans I know,
don't like the "wet-backs".
As far as flying your Mexican flag on a holiday....For starters you are in America now pinhead. Does Mexico allow Americans to celebrate the 4th of July the way we let you celebrate cinco de mayo? Which for those of you who don't know this but cinco de mayo is "NOT" a holiday in Mexico.
I don't agree with flying the Cuban Flag here either. They should be stoned as you say as well.

Sounds as if you have as much bigotry in your blood as other people. Perhaps it is time to try to join in....if you can't beat them, then join them. The real issue that is at hand is that if illegals continue, they will put additional strains on all of our resources....not because of nationality. Snowbirds from Canada yearly invade Florida and openly fly their flags without a word spoken...but don't you think if you are a died-in-the wool Mexicano, then you should flaunt your pride in Mexico...you chose to come to America, so you should begin to accept America as your new homeland...not as a second choice...and want to bring your patroitism here...the same with language...why should Americans have to accept your language and culture...I live in China...and I can't expect that the Chinese will either allow or accept the same sort of nonsense that the Mexicans are trying in the US.

The goal: http://www.fightingimmigrationanarchy.com/
I am anti illegal alien, anti criminal, you want it to be about race, it isn't.... it is about the law and those who break our laws.
If you come to this country, legally or not, assimilate into our culture, don't attempt to establish your culture here..... that is what you just deserted, why would you want the same here? And, why would you fly the flag of a country that mistreated you?
Stop the race baiting.... it makes you a racist. Stop acting like you condone the breaking of our nation's laws.

I don't think that most American people are as you say against Mexican people. It's more like controlling our borders.
Illegally coming to this country is breaking our laws. Also it is very dangerous.
Many deaths have occurred crossing the deserts without proper clothing, water, etc.

I'm anti-illegal aliens. Just so happens that MOST of them are from Mexico.
What if I were to go to Mexico on the Fourth of July, whoop it up, and wave the American flag?

the main thing here is the word "illegal" whether it is Mexicans crossing the border or Low life Americans commiting crimes.It sounds to me that your saying it is ok to cross the border illegally. Would it be ok for someone to hurt your child which is also illegal.If you crossed the border legally I have no problem with you.My aunt married a man from Mexico he is 1 of the smartest men I know.But there are people crossing everyday that don't even bother to learn our language.Do they expect us to change our way of life for them?If you don't like your homeland come on over to our country but adapt to it as well,don't expect us to adapt to you.

Well I must congratulate you on lumping all anti-illegals into one group. Good job! I challenge you to find ONE anti-semantic thing I have said, that wasn't used to prove a point to a racist poster.... Good luck.
