What part of not all Mexicans are on welfare don't some of you get?

Question

It won't be long before you see a whole lot more Mexican-Americans doing something with their lives.. let's see such as going to college, and making major contributions to our society :)

let me add... "minorities" in general...

haha... thanx to all of you kiddos for proving me right....
ignorance.... sad story...racism makes you ugly... ewww

Reason I post that is because I'm browsing through several questions and I'm amazed at how many people write that we're "leeches" and so on

I admire others that appreciate and respect people of different cultures

I find it quite fascinating how I said MEXICAN-AMERICAN and some of you that respond right away start talking about illegals and what part of illegal I don't understand.. oh believe me, i know the difference...... see what I mean? Some people assume right away that because I speak of Mexicans, it must be illegal right? haha.. WRONG! I'm as American as any of you other Americans that try to belittle me...Actions go right along with my talk... :)

And don't get me wrong, I still think it's wrong how some of you disrespect the immigrants... but don't worry, many of them have (American)children that are going to college and will make their family proud :)

I wanted to prove a point... Point proven :)

WHO R U: Did you not see "A WHOLE LOT MORE" meaning there are already a lot, but there will be more...

and yes, my actions, what I do will be a "voice".. telling kids about the importance of an education, encouraging them, that is how i will be a voice..

DAISY: not only have I heard it here, but in other places...that's what many think..
how am I making a generalization..?

It's a STEREOTYPE, just like a whole lot of other horrible stereotypes...
.. I see both worlds... The Mexican and American sides

Answer 1

The Mexican race deserves respect just like any other race. Some people generalize and stereotype and they think every individual acts, thinks and behaves the same way if they are Mexican. My father is Anglo-Saxon, my mother Mexican and I can see good things in both cultures, in both races. I was born in the USA but I think learning about other cultures, other races, and other nations makes life very interesting. I often wonder why do more Mexicans have respect for other nationalities and many Americans don't have that same respect. Now I am not talking about illegal immigrants, I am only talking about the race and the nationality.

Answer 2

Sorry, if you feel you are a voice for the unheard voice of all Mexican-Americans, then you are sadly mistaken. First, If you think having a title or an important job will give you respect, then you will never understand what respect is about. Second, you demean what those who have come before you have done by saying "It won't be long before you see ... to our society" How offensive you are to your own people! Last, people who cry "racist" are the ones who see only color. Don't get me wrong. It is still out there, but we have got to rise up to overcome. Don't stoop down and join in it.
You don't get my point. You are no martyr. You can't be the self appointed voice of our children. How vain. I don't want someone to be the voice of my children who has something to prove to the people she is resentful to. My children will have their own voice because that is what I will teach them.

Answer 3

I heard an interesting statistic last night on the news. It said that illegal immigrants have paid over 20 billion dollars into social security in the past 10 years. How is that, you might ask.

They are not here legally, so they counterfeit social security cards so they can get work... Local, State, and Federal taxes are with held from their checks, just like you and me... The only difference is that they will never see the return.

I would like to ask, Has everyone in this country forgot where they and their families came from???? It wasn't here!

If you want to focus just on Mexicans... OK lets look at them!
Generally hard working people
Family oriented
Religious
And these people know how to have a Bar-b-Que!

I welcome our Mexican neighbors... south of our border and the family next door!

Answer 4

Not all of Mexicans are on Welfare that is not the problem. The problem is the ones that are are using their legal childs status (anchor baby) to recieve welfare for an entire family of illegals. The rate of Illegal Mexicans on Welfare is like three times higher than all other races combined.
Illegals unwillingness ot work is not the problem. The problem is that if given amnesty they will be eligable for more government programs and the rate of taxes they pay will be lower than the government funds they will be using because their wages tend to be low due to their low education and lack of skills. The annual deficit they creat will actually rise 19 billion dollars a year if amnesty is granted. And the newly granted amnesty citizens will all be working and not on welfare but it will still rise.

Answer 5

I know people think that we won't amount to anything but instead of writting it show it by becoming a wonderfull nurse that's what im doing im the first male in my family to go to college and on a football scholarship i just hope i can keep it so don't listen to people when they call you a mexican because you are legally an american just like mexican on welfare is the same as whitey on welfare

Answer 6

You're shallow, How about Mexico City being the most overpopulated city on earth. Why don't you get mad at the fact they overpopulate here and what that does for our future generations. Why don't you look at the statistics that say how violent these illegals are and how that's only getting worse or is that the major contributions you were talking about? What about trying to get Spanish (not even their native tongue) as another language and the dollars that will cost. This could go on and on. I don't have problems with Mexicans, but I definitely do with illegals and that's what most are these days.

Answer 7

Many of the Mexican-Americans I know are going to college or have their own businesses. I got my last eye-exam and great glasses from a Mexican-American. Don't worry about foolish stereotypes; we all have to live with those one way or another.

Answer 8

hispanics are liars they are on welfare and they lie to the welfare workers i know how it works i was going to be a social worker you have to state all cars children family living with you there job there income everything what about the damn escalade you drive screw you liars you are why i chose not to be a social worker i would have turned everyone of you down and never gave you welfare i think you don't deserve it let the poor people have it ha they payed the taxes anyways you payed nothing leach hahahahahahaha

Answer 9

YOu know that is fantastic!

I wish them well. As Mexican-Americans I am assuming that they are here legally as opposed to illegally (as in committing a crime by trespassing).

As an American citizen who has payed taxes for an entire life I expect those here illegally, and wish to attend public schools, to pay back taxes retroactively for their entire stay. Why should I fund their education? After all they're not all on welfare, or are they?

And to add on:

If you're here as and an American citizen you're no longer a Mexican American. You're an American. THIS IS NOT MEXICO. It never will be.

TO add on again:

IF YOU'RE HERE ILLEGALLY AND NOT PAYING TAXES YOU ARE ON WELFARE.

This is an easy concept. No Payo Taxeso=Welfareo.

Answer 10

I agree totally with the first portion of your answer as Mexicans (I am not) are some of the hardest working people I have ever known and when you befriends one he/she would take a bullet for you.
