why do so many people hate illegal mexicans?

Question

what have they done to you? i don't care if they come to the U.S. they are probably here just looking for a better life so why the hatred? does crossing the border illegaly make them criminals when they just come to work and make the U.S. a better place?

Answer 1

not me,I just wish I could talk to them....

Answer 2

See this is the biggest misconception about this whole immigration issue. Illegal Mexicans think its only directed against them. When the point is, is that its directed against illegal immigrants period. No matter where your from. Canada, Italy, Germany, Mexico... etc... doesnt matter. If your here illegally, its illegal. Plain and simple.
Yes there are some inconsiderate people that seem to direct it more towards the Mexicans, but thats not because of their race. It's because most of the majority of the illegals here are in fact Mexican. Your more likely to find an illegal mexican than an illegal Italian or Canadian.
And crossing the border illegally does make you a criminal. If you do anything illegal, you are a criminal. Murder is illegal, if you kill, you are a criminal, Stealing is illegal, if you steal, you are a criminal.
Illegal is the key word here. Illegal equals crime.

Answer 3

It's not hate, it's called principles. It is against my principles to stand for stupidity. It is illegal to cross the border "illegaly" so yes they are criminals. If they are unable to respect our laws while they come here, why would they respect our laws upon their arrival? Most are looking for a better life for their families and themselves. I do not have a problem with people trying to better themselves.
Look at it this way: It is an invasion on U.S. soil. They are: 1) not paying taxes and overburdening our welfare system. 2) breaking our laws, if they are paying taxes it is because they forged paperwork and lied. 3) are clogging up our federal prison system 27% of which are currently illegal aliens. 4) Destroying our traditions i.e. not learning or using english. Why should I have to push #1 on the phone to listen in english?!!! this is America we speak ENGLISH!! If you do not assimilate you stay segregated. Which leads to my next point 5) They spread racism (think "the race" in "spanish") I have known many, many Mexicans. They all readily admit that they are better then all other races. 6) They generally treat their women with inequality, that is why you ALWAYS see the women sitting in the back seat...this is no stereotype! 7) they do not generally bring skilled work into our country. Why increase a liability to everyone else? If they were bringing education with them they could add to our countrys intellectual wealth.
I do not hate, you assume too much. I challenge you to respond to each of these points. I challenge you to further consider this issue. I bet you are blinded though. I bet you are unable to see the reality, the damage, the stupidity of your assumptions. Write me back, I would like to understand how you reach your conclusions.

Answer 4

They are not coming to the US to make it a better place. And they don't make it a better place. They come take our jobs. They don't pay taxes. Yet, they'll send their kids to our schools, which OUR tax dollars pay for. They come to reap all the benefits of being a US citizen, yet they don't add anything to our society. Pay taxes or get out! I don't give a hoot whether they are a citizen or not.

And concerning the reply from the girl who said that Americans should 'get off their can and work for what the Mexicans work for,' that's not possible. Our cost of living is ten times what it is in Mexico. If we worked for what they work for, we'd be living in a cardboard box on the street. They can take our jobs, work for less, take their money that they earned from our country back to Mexico and live like kings. It's quite the plan. We are not able to compete with that.

And why should we like an illegal immigrant? We have to follow the laws here, and in general, criminals are not America's most favorite people.

Answer 5

It is not the Mexicans that are the problem, it is the illegality of it that's the problem. That might be fine and dandy that they are looking for better lives, but is that an excuse to commit crimes that otherwise wouldn't have happened, using taxpayer dollars without paying taxes in return, taking jobs away from the legal citizens (and don't tell me nobody wants them anyway, if you are dirt poor you will do nearly anything, I know firsthand), and moreover, violating the law of the United States simply by being here illegally.

Is this your idea of making the US a better place? By letting some people break the law and others have to obey it?

Answer 6

A few reasons.

Number one, they do not pay taxes because they are not registered. However, their children get to go to school to be educated for free. They get health care, free food, and other benefits. But that cost has to come from somewhere...where does it come from?

The tax payers.

Now think of all the money it would take to do what I stated above for the mass amounts of illegal immigrants. If that money wasn't wasted on those who are here in direct violation of the law, think of what our schools would be like. Think about how the economic impact of these people affects our social security.

A good example is if I sneak into your house at night, and steal everything in your room. You know I was there, and then you come down to eat breakfast to find I'm eating there with your land lord. You try to get food and the land lord tells you that it's all gone. What would do? Would you hate me?

The next reason of many is that Mexican immigrants do not blend into the culture of their new city. They dominate it. Many refuse to learn and speak English, the accepted form of communication in the United States, and do not absorb the cultures of other people. Mexican immigrants bring huge families to areas, and just take over the neighborhood.

Americans feel threatened by this onslaught of immigrants, and feel that the Mexican people do not care about the American values and hardships. They feel like freeloaders to me, always taking but never giving.

They do not build a better America in any way. The jobs they do are ones that anyone can manage and the damage they are causing to the American and Mexican economies is staggering. Mexican workers need to help build their nation back up, put blood, sweat, and tears into their own country instead of running from it and taking the easy way out.

But if Mexican workers still feel the need to work in the United States, there is nothing to stop them. How hard is it really to go through the proper channels and gain employment? How hard is it to come to the United States and learn English? If I came to live and work in Mexico, I would learn Spanish. Is it really that hard? How hard is it to take a moment to enjoy the cultures of others and participate in them? How hard is it to be a human being rather then a leech?

Because in all honesty, that is what the illegal Mexicans are.

Answer 7

1 they are driving wages down in the construction industry by creating an over abundance of low wage workers making life very difficult for every one in the construction industry

2 the US is already overcrowded and with every person that comes here the quality of life for those already here goes down because there is less personal freedom simply because of the overcrowded nature of things

3 this invasion is not inocent they are intentionaly having more babies than they can afford to feed and forcing their people to come here because they don't think we have a right to be here they might be right however i have no intention of giving it to them because if i was going to give it to any one i would give it back to the people that had it in the first place not them thing is though i don't have a place to go without making problems for other people

4 if you really get to know them which is very difficult because they basically hate us on a core level you will then see that they hate us

5 it is a well known fact that at least 60% of the people south of the US hate us and want us dead or off this continent

6 many dumb asses will argue that they somehow make things cheaper by their presents but that is eronious because we all know supply and demand regulate prices so 12 million consumers that have no right to be here are driving prices up not down 3 dollars a gallon for gas take 12 million consumes out of the equation and i don't see how the price won't go down at least a little

7 why should i trust some one that has so little respect for me that they will come here when they know they are not wanted

8 the world faces a very great and ominous problem of over crowding one way to force people of these third world countries to face facts is give them no place to run from the problems they have created for themselves

9 i don't see how bringing the standard of living down to the level of the third world **** holes they left behind is making the US a better place for the people already here

10 the crimminals we have locked up in prisons that are there not because of violations of immigrations laws thats a whole other concern but i'm just talking about murders and rapist and drug smugglers are costing us more than all the benifits that could possibly be gained by the others if they were contributing in a benficial way which we already they are not

if you think so highhly of these people move down there

Answer 8

I'm not a hater, but, I can see the issue from both sides.

They don't pay taxes. They take jobs. There's a HUGE Mexican gang, if you've heard about them, you fear them. They don't speak english, so they can't follow directions.

On the other hand, we can't survive in business like farming, fashion, and most blue colar jobs in the states that are in the vacinity of Mexico..

Sooo unless Americans get off their can, and work in those jobs as cheap as the Mexicans do, then no way no how will we ever be 'illegal' free.

Answer 9

Yes crossing the border illegally makes them criminals because that is a crime itself! I don't hate them, but I don't have any respect for people who come here illegally.

Answer 10

keyword: illegal. Why should they get in here without going through proper channels? Fair is fair and if they want equal rights and all that other sh*t they are asking for then they should take the time and effort out to get legalized. If they wanna get in the game, they better play by the rules.

Answer 11

well, i don't hate some, but like others, they take jobs, and stuff, and they ask the gvt. for money to support their children (they have like, 10) i understand they want a better life, but it is a crime to come to america illegally, and i don't support that
