How would Mexico and Mexican citizens react if...?

Question

say 12-15 million desperate Chinese started to come in waves in search of better economic opportunity, liberties they don't have at home, etc. They promise to only do jobs that Mexican citizens won't do and somehow will do them for less than the Mexicans (who suppossedly won't do them anyway). They are so desperate to get to Mexico, they don't follow the proper immigration channels and work/exist "illegally" in their new home; they don't pay most taxes since they are paid under the table but since they are the most needy of services, they rely on govt services the most. These immigrants are happy to be making money and taking care of themselves, family and community but many don't see any need to learn the language or to change any of their cultural traits. They'll happily live as they were with their previous traditions in their own communities- basically transplanting themselves, communities, and ways of live while basically trying to "assimilate" with mainstream Mexican culture.

mmiller- this IS a complicated issue and I only point to Mexico here because the US is on the receiving end of Mexico's economic troubles. How is it stereotyping to examine what would happen if Mexico happened to be on the receiving end of a similar dynamic? How is it stereotyping anyone to question how another government and it's citizens would react to this situation. Americans seem to be racist for having reasons against open/illegal immigration yet to question how other countries would react is also racist?

odii odii- those of Mexican descent that remained after America's war/conquest/purchase of the Southwest became and are as much American citizens as anybody else here; those of European descent that came to the US in masses the last couple centuries all immigrated to the US legally under the immigration policies of the time whereas much recent immigration in the Southwest has in fact been illegal to American land under American law.

Answer 1

there actually are a lot of asians in the big cities like mexico city and they are taking up a lot of jobs and offering cheaper prices for their products and taking out the mexicans. Not as bad as the Mexicans here in the US but its still happening. Well its not really the Mexicans they are taking out, more like the Indians the Mexicans pushed away and sent to live far away.....a lot of indians make business by selling hand made stuff and the chinese are selling their stuff for way cheaper and its stuff that wasn't hand made unlike the indios.

Besides, what would u do if here in the U.S. the minimum wage was like 5 bucks a day and then down the border in mexico the minimum wage was $7/hour. i'm sure u would go to mexico.

but believe me i don't think u would be happy cuz mexicans are soooo racist.

Answer 2

You forgot that an important part of southern US was Mexican until the middle of the 19th century. All the people there were native and even if the borders changed, mexican people remained, spread and of course called the others to join.

Be sure that not all the mexicans (about 107,449,525 heads) are wanting to cross the border...nor wish to live in the US. Those who need to do that are only poor people that want to improve their lives and this is their right. Like poor Irish, poor Greek, poor English did in the 17th Century.

Why do you think that you have the right of doing so and not the others who have not your culture? Why should I do the things you do?

You are sharply criticising Mexican and of course Cubans, Salvadorian, Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, etc, but why don't you criticise all the other cultures (I won’t talk about Jewish) that are too proud to keep their own cultures and do not adopt "the American way of life"?

Is this going to be another reason for making and spreading wars like the Americans do ?

You should revise your history books and the Declaration of the Human Rights.

Answer 3

I heard in Mexico, they can shoot you if you cross into their border! I don't know if that's true.

It wouldn't matter if the Chinese went to Mexico because there are no Mexicans there to complain! They are all in the USA!!! ha ha ha. I would LOVE to see some other country that is completely different from Mexico go there & change thier way of life. Maybe all Americans should move to Mexico & start over (it's warmer there! lol)

Answer 4

This would not happen in Mexico. Just ask Quatamalens who have entered Mexico illegally how they were treated. The illegals, and the ones that support them expect this country to do for them what their own country will not. And they call us racist.

Answer 5

According to Mexico's illegal immigration policy, it would just deport them like they do all of the other illegal immigrants coming in from Central/South America

Answer 6

So is there a real question in here or are you just standing on the stump here spouting all this stereotypical nonsense.

This is a complicated problem. Fortunately there are mature discussions and better questions posed on this topic here already. You should go find one and read a lot more before you ask a question here.

Answer 7

They should be glad to have them! It would motivate the economy. And none of them would dream of being on public assistance. They would learn Spanish right away, (they already speak English and several dialects of Chinese). It would be great for the moral fiber of the country if they DID NOT loose some of their traditions.
Win -Win in my perspective.

Answer 8

They wouldn't go to mexico...china still better off than mexico and if they do go elsewhere, it would be to Canada...and the lady above me...how is he being a racist? YOU'RE stupid and ignorant. IDIOT!! It's already happening here with the mexicans. DO YOU EVEN KNOW OF THE SITUATION I CALIFORNIA??? Go cut yourself!

Answer 9

They would riot, burn tires, protest, destroy eveything in sight then blame America for it all and then they will simply come here demand everything under the sun, it's all about Mexico, right ?.

Answer 10

I don't know, I'm not Mexican, but I am sure that no one can speak on behalf of all Mexicans. Every Mexican would react differently.
