I just joined today and my God, all most of you people do is rant and rave about Mexicans. Not just illegals, but all Mexicans! I feel like I'm in a Ku Klux Klan meeting. And even Asians and some Blacks get in the act as if hating on Mexicans is going to make them more accepted with white society. I mean they're minorities too, and from what I can see many white people are just racist, and would take a Mexican neighbor any day over a black or asian.

Actually this section should not be called "Immigration", but "Mexican bashing", because that's all I see here, not just against Mexican illegals, but even against legal Mexicans.

I agree with you, there is a definate anti Mexican sentiment here. Just look at some of the previous answers before mine. Now we are up to 17 million illegals and othe nice tidbits like they are criminals since they cant differenciate legal with illegal. Hell in their eyes even the ones that are American Citizens are traitors if they don't agree with them.
My proof, look at every single question where they specifically say LATINO Illegal aliens and there is always some bigot that brings up Mexicans. They just assume thats the only type of Latino that crosses the border illegally.
And yes I am generalizing and putting people into one catagory since that is what people are doing with Mexicans. Only Mexicans speak spanish and cross the border illegally, no other country exists south of them.

I think it's because they feel threatened by Mexicans. Many people tend to make fun of others or dehumanize in order to make themselves feel better. The immigration issue has made many people angry, especially at Mexicans (as if this was the only group that was immigrating to the US). They have this idea that Mexicans come to the US to live off the goverment, which is not true. THey come here to work. Yeah, so they come illegaly, and have been here for years, but that gives no one a right to mistreat them. Also, they don't seem to realize that not all Mexicans are illegal. A VERY large number of us are Mexican-Americans, meaning we're as AMERICAN as those of you with blue eyes and blonde hair. Some of these Mexican-American families have been here since way before the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe. So those of you that just love to belittle Mexicans or just any group in general, lets work on shedding that ignorance. We should learn about other cultures and appreciate the people that surround us.

You mean this ignorant pseudo-"patriotic" masturbation?Automatons spitting out second-hand slogans and "official"fake statistics?Those who have multiple cyber-personalities, numerous accounts ?
Maybe it's an outlet for their intimate frustrations:a low IQ,a small penis,a ***** of a mother in-law...who knows?
The Mexican-bashing is obvious and so are the racist implications.If they told you it's all about/against the illegal immigration phenomenom ...they are in denial
Feel free to "thumbs down" my comments all you want,people.Unlike most of you,I don't give a damn.Yahoo is just Yahoo...It doesn't make my world go round.
Take care

Who are you to talk when you are racist against blacks or asians from what you wrote, "would take a Mexican neighbor any day over a black or asian", if you think it is so bad in here go back to your closet and hide from what is going on in the U.S. I don't dislike anyone unless they are breaking the law and affecting my ability to raise my family and that is what is happening when jobs are given to illegals to send the money to Mexico and kill our economy.
To miguel and a couple of others, I live with my grandson everyday who is 1/2 Mexican so I do see one everyday on the street. I don't care where you are from or what your race is, if you live in the United States then do so the legal way and pay your taxes just like the rest of us.

Did you say "You would take a Mexican neighbor any day over a black or Asian?" Who's racist? Just because someone has an opinion (or facts) that you don't like, don't name call. Things may be deeper than you think.

I think that you may be a bit misinformed. I think that most of the people on here are against criminals not Mexicans. If you read the post people who are pro illegal alien throw out words like racist and prejudice almost immediately. My views are I am against criminals. If someone was breaking the law in your neighborhood wouldn't you call the police. I myself am not against any race or nationality just against criminals. I think most people posting on here feel the same way. Of course I could be wrong........

You noticed something: Americans are sick and tired of paying for ILLEGAL Mexicans. They are not Americans, they don't WANT to be Americans, they only work here, and send the money back home to Mexico.
Our taxes go to pay for their kids to go to OUR schools, and get treated in OUR hospitals. For WHAT? so we can have cheap fruit?
American's are sick of losing their jobs to the illegals keeping the wages down in this country...
That's what you see, not racism....

Though I occasionally see an anti-Mexican post, by and large the posts seem to fall into two groups:
The anti-illegal group that emphasizes the legality or illegality of entry.
The pro-amnesty group that characterizes all of the above as racist and completely ignores the question of legality.
BTW, your post includes more racist statements than most here.

You sound like one of these people who, when someone disagrees with what you believe, automatically calls them racist and bigots. Rather shallow, don't you think? Just because someone has a different opinion, that doesn't make them hate mongers. I believe most Americans welcome immigrants from whatever nation they come from. But when a group floods into our country illegally, that gets many people upset. There are proper ways to do things. You are welcome here, just do it legally! I don't think that's too much to ask.

Maybe if the Congress would get with the program and close the border , so we didn't have thousands and thousands of illegals coming into this country every day , then people might not be so upset about the Mexicans
