do you people know what mexico is really like?

Question

Question: What do you think of Mexico, as a country not a government, on a whole?

My thoughts:
"According to the World Bank, Mexico ranks 13th in the world in regard to GDP and has the fourth largest per capita income in Latin America just after Argentina, Chile and Costa Rica, and it is firmly established as an upper middle-income country."

Many of the people who are coming here illegally are not really representing the best of their country. They are representing the worst. The people who live in the rural and poverty-stricken areas.

Just because somebody lives in Mexico, it doesn't mean they are poor and uneducated. 92% of the population can read and write and .3% of the population has HIV/AIDS. The average life expectancy is 75 (source: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/mx.html#People) From what I've gathered, the people who are here illegally are the ones who are in need of the most help. However, the population of Mexico, as a whole, doesn't seem to be AS bad.

diamante... like i previously stated, the people who come here are the worst of the worst. no education, living in rural areas...in poverty.

its not the entire country.

wow people just don't get things.

let me spell it out: MOST OF MEXICO IS NOT POOR. AND YET YOU STILL FIND A REASON TO HATE THEM. what does that say about you (to those who answered with those comments)

Answer 1

I honestly do not care. Illegal is still illegal.

Answer 2

Amelia, you are 100% correct but you can't negate the fact that illegal immigration from Mexico is a serious problem here, illegal immigration is a problem regardless of which county it's from, but due to obvious geographical issues, Mexico is the largest contributor of illegal immigration in the Unites States, if we bordered China it would be China but it's not. My issue isn't with the illegals that come here, I would do the same if I were in there shoes, my gripe is with the US govt no doing enough to curtail illegal immigration, it's a hugh problem and the people that are hurt the most by it are immigrants themselves, many of them hispanic that took the time to come here legally, because the jobs that illegals take are the lower paying jobs and they are made even lower paying by illegal immigration. Immigration is good for this country but it has to be controlled to a level where new immigrants can be assimilated to this countries values and culture.

Answer 3

I am not sure what your question is.

However, there is a big difference between hating an entire nationality and not wanting the poorest, least educated and most criminal classes of that nationality to illegally come to ones own country to get 'free' education and health care at the expense of one's own children and sick people.

Those people are stealing. Thinking theft should be punished is not the same thing as hating an entire nationality.

Answer 4

I don't have an opinion on Mexico in general. I just want the illegals and others to stay there if it is so great why do they come here? We cannot support the people we already have and do not need more to support.

Answer 5

how ignorant are all of you in Mexico exist one of the best health care systems here the government absorbs most of the cost in USA you need to pay all for example here a simple aspirin cost abouts 10 cents of dollar the problem here in Mexico is we don't have jobs for a no university people farmers and no educated people i am a engineer and i don't have the necessity of in migrate to the states the problems is the jobs another thing how much? you paid for you education here i paid for all my education a total of 180 dollars stop tell bullshits and try to live in peace and take care in things more important like Afghanistan or Iraq ask your government when this gonna stop?.

Answer 6

There is good and bad like anywhere. The gap between the haves and the have nots is huge. A very small number of people control most of the wealth in Mexico. The more problems in Mexico the bigger the immigration problem in the US.

Answer 7

OK. If I go with your way of thinking on the poor uneducated of Mexico then I have a solution! Lets, the USA, just ship all of our poor, uneducated and those on welfare to Canada. Let it be a Canadian problem. Problem solved and then we would have room for all of Mexico's problems.

Answer 8

If it's true, then why isn't Mexico helping its poor?
The Mexican people should be ashamed that so many of their poor are sneaking across the border and embarrassing their country.

Answer 9

i dont hate the mexicans i HATE their corrupt so called govt that steals from the poor to give to the rich and if i was wrong then why are th poor ones running over the border as fast as they can cause they know things will NEVER change regardless of whose in power

Answer 10

If what you say is true, then it would be next to impossible for me to think of the country without thinking of the government. To be so affluent and yet allow so many to live in abject poverty so bad they run away and risk death to get something they only "think" is better, is beyond me. Why does this grand country not care for it's citizens?

Answer 11

Mexico's problem, from my point of view, is its rampant corruption, especially of the legal system.

All those poor girls, maquiladora workers for the most part I think, slaughtered in Juarez. Journalists and police chiefs killed. Drug gangs in open warfare on city streets.

Tourists used to be safe from murderous gangs. Not so much anymore.
