"Mexicans are to Americans as Americans are to Indians"?

Question

Do you think that some Americans feel the same way about Mexicans as American Indians feel about most Americans? (Will the Mexicans become the new Americans and the Old Americans become the new Indians?) (Is this why so many are afraid - because we treated the Indians like crap and now it's our turn?)

Answer 1

Not really. Because most Mexicans are Native Americans. A majority of the illegals are Natives from the Southern States of Mexico. Even the Mestizo is Indian according to the 1/4 Indian rule that the US uses to recognizes Native people here. Most Mestizos are either 1/2 or 3/4 Indian... If anything they are just reclaming territories that were once their ancient hunting grounds.
All the "old americans" (I'm guessing you mean whites) will become is the minority group. But chances are they'd also be the higher class people as they are in Latin America.

Answer 2

Illegal immigration needs to be stopped ,and since the lion's share of the illegal immigrants are from Mexico, that's the country to focus on most. Ethnicity is less important than legality on this one, but at the end of the day ALL illegal immigration needs to be stopped, not just from Mexico.


The law needs to be observed on immigration, plain, and simple. Those that don't feel like doing so, well, that's what the ICE is for, to ship em out. Put 20k more people to work in both the US Border Patrol and the ICE, and let's get this whole mess behind us. Other countries need to work a LOT harder on getting their respective acts together. There's 6.5 billion people in the world. They can't all live in America.

Answer 3

Millions of Mexicans come to this country illegally, they don't bother learning English, they create violent criminal gangs, they "steal" health care from state hospitals, they blast ghetto-rap music from their cars at all hours of the day and night, they have the highest school drop-out rate of any race, they have more pregnant teens than any other race, they breed like rabbits, and then they wave the Mexican flag in America even though Mexico is the last place they would want to live.

Answer 4

Americans are to Mexicans as Americans are to Native Americans.

Answer 5

Some people need to stop living in the past. When you say "WE" treated the indians like crap, who are you talking about? The modern people living today??
What nonsense.

We have LAWS in the U.S. against illegally breaking into our country. They should be enforced. And all illegals should be kicked out and ALL THOSE WHO HIRE them should be imprisoned.

Why should illegals be allowed to break our laws? If I broke a law, I'd be fined or put in jail. What makes them special?

Answer 6

You sir are INCORRECT. The native Americans have (and still have) many TREATIES signed with the US that gave us the land. I don't believe the current wave of illegals coming across the border have such treaties. Americans did not bring 70% of all the drugs in America with them, we didn't insist they pay for our medicine or schooling either. Obviously, these are 2 radically different scenarios.

Answer 7

Except that unlike the Native Americans, we have the better army in this case.

Answer 8

Some feel that the old felt before the new became the old feelings of the replacement old but not the real which felt more Mexican than new

Answer 9

Completely different. My great grandmother was 100% cherokee indian and my great grandfather was American . They were in love so I don't agree with you.

Answer 10

You're comparing apples to oranges, my friend. Those are two very different types of immigrants. I don't see anyone else seeing it that way--at least in a serious tone.
