Why is it that mexicans have such a hard time with americans wanting the border enforced?

Question

This is like the Mother Of All Entitlement Mentalities. What gives, here?

Answer 1

Because many illegal aliens from Mexico, etc. want the benefit without the cost.

Here's a copy of an email I got a while back. I've just copy/pasted it. Sorry it's so long, but it expresses my opinion on this issue, as politically incorrect as it may be (Great thing about this country- we don't get shot b/c of our opinions!).....

Dear Senator Frist:
There is a huge amount of propaganda and myth circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens.

1. Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment and
their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and subsidized by middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits of American residence without paying the price.

2. There are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans can't take and still support their families. Illegal aliens take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses
and send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans won't do for a decent wage.

3. Every person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT homeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries. They come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens. These
illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of the law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those who brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on behalf
of their children.


4. Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens constitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages and benefits for lawful U.S. residents.

5. This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born Americans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by immigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.

6. The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined.

7. There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote". Hispanics are white, brown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents. The so-called "Hispanic vote" is a myth. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic vote is a
dead end.

8. Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans have resented the United States. During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. During World War II Mexico
allowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from Mexico. During the Cold War Mexico
allowed spies hostile to the U.S. to operate freely. The attack on theTwin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today Mexican school children are taught that the U.S. stole California, Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas. If you don't believe it, check out some Mexican textbooks written for their schoolchildren.

9. Although some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life, there are 6 billion people on this planet. At least 1 billion of those live on
less than one dollar a day. If wanting a better life is a valid excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight. Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who want a better life. I'll bet Bill Gates and Donald Trump want a better life. When will the USA lifeboat be full? Since when is wanting a better life a good reason to trash another nation?

10. There is a labor shortage in this country. This is a lie. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American housewives, senior
citizens, students, unemployed and underemployed who would gladly take jobs at
a decent wage.

11. Is it racist to want secure borders? What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not wanting people to sneak into America and steal benefits we have set aside for legal aliens, senior citizens, children and other legal residents? What is it about race that entitles people to violate our laws, steal identities, and take the American Dream without paying the price?

Answer 2

They don't want the borders enforced because of financial reasons. The Mexicans that illegally cross the border send alto of money back home, I think it was close to 20 million or billion last year. That is a big part of the Mexican economy. If the cash flow from the illegals stopped, their economy would go to the dogs

Answer 3

The first point about illegals not wanting to becomes citizens, OK
except for the fact that we seem to have allot of them voting,even at the encouragement of elected officials. The second point, I have been taking some adult education courses at a local community college I have three "legal" immigrants in the class who have become citizens, they are rightfully angry at what is going on at the Mexican border and what the politicians are letting happen, they feel it's a slap in the face, and it is, absolutely,it's a disgrace.

Answer 4

I don't have a problem with others wanting the border enforced however i don't. I do want the border patrol to be able to do their job at keeping the terrorist out I just think there is a better way to loosen the immigrant policies and back up the border patrol to.

I miss read this post

Answer 5

I don't think Mexicans have a problem with that the problem is the people that is already here.



whats hard to understand is the very minority who wants to come here is not in General.

Answer 6

It is not really the Mexicans here legally, but the liberal nut jobs who want the "vote", and the illegal aliens who have no respect for the American law.

Answer 7

Well, I look at it like leaving a T-bone steak sitting on the kitchen table with a hungry dog sitting there all by his lonesome self. Yeah know the dog is going after that steak, just a matter of time, so, its time the steak gets put out of reach of the dog

Answer 8

i dont know its pretty messed up i mean if they really wanted to be here they would have taken the time to get thier citizenship becuase we all knew this was coming they should respect it not take advantage of the fact that it was easy to get across the borders.

Answer 9

How come there aren't any Americans climbing
over the fence to get into Mexico?

Answer 10

Mexicans ENFORCE there border security but, THEY DEMAND mined you that we leave ours wide open. This BS MUST STOP:::: REMEMBER THIS NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!
VOTE FOR CHANGE:::::: Vote against ANY and ALL that support Illegals Make our voices heard LOUD AND CLEAR! SEND THEM HOME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
