You are basing your question on your assumption, rather than facts.
Fact: Many, many "Americans" are of Hispanic and Mexican decent.
Fact: Many Mexicans have entered this country LEGALLY to assimilate into our society and become Americans. They learn the language and the customs - they are hard working, honest and an excellent addition to America's diverse population.
How do suppose they feel when other Mexicans come into their neighborhoods illegally and work, pay no taxes and enjoy all of the same benefits that the legal residents have worked so hard for?
An illegal alien is just that - illegal - regardless of their ethic background.
It is a crime to enter any country without the proper procedures - not just America.
Mexicans illegally entering this country are putting an enormous strain on local, state and federal funds - and that's my hard earned cash we're talking about! A great many are here, not to become Americans, but to exploit the system for their own benefit. And that's just wrong.

It's not hate.I'm against illegal immigration regardless of where you came from.
The US is a nation of laws and i have friends from all over the world who work their butts off to become American citizens and once they do they learn the language,assimilate to the American way of life, pay their payroll taxes, etc. However illegals do not and end up costing the US (taxpayers) more money and drain resources.
We are a nation of immigrants. Legal immigrants. Now if you ask about my immigrant ancestors they came over before the US was even a country they came when we were colonies of Britain.
If you have Mexican friends who want to become citizens then help them teach them English so they can get good jobs with full benefits, help them become citizens so they can enjoy what citizenship gets you.
Here's further proof that it's not just angry white republicans who don't like illegal immigration. Many legal immigrants of hispanic descent are upset too.

Don't hate anyone.... just feel that "criminals" who break the law should be treated with the same justice as other criminals..... Just because you want to chose which "laws" to obey and which you don't care for doesn't make illegal immigrants any less criminal than if they went into a store and held it up.... breaking the law deserves just punishment... just because there are 11 or so million "criminals doing the same thing doesn't mean the law should be changed...
Other immigrants went through proper channels and became "legal USA citizens" what makes Mexicans think they are above the laws of the country they purport to love? Get over it and learn to obey the laws or get da phuck out... pretty simple

It's not about hate. It's about LAW.
Being illegal has nothing to do with personality, upbringing, economic status, race. . . NOTHING. It has everything to do with the LAW. How can anyone say they respect our country when they don't even respect enough to follow our laws?
I also have friends of Mexican nationality. But they are all in this country LEGALLY. They dislike the ones that come here illegally because they catch heat for them. So how fair is THAT?

I think Mexicans think Americans are better than they are. When was the last time you heard about the illegal American aliens in Mexico problem?

I have nothing against Mexicans in general. It's the illegals that irritate me. Everyone thinks I hate mexicans I don't.

I'm a red-blooded American and I've never thought I was better than anyone. Where do you get all these stereotypes from? In my book a person is a person, all have the potential of doing good or doing evil. Just because I'm American doesn't mean sh*t!

I don't believe that most Americans actually "hate" Mexicans (or people from just about anyplace else). I think that we've just been raised to be "proud Americans," and in the process of this we appear to others as very stuck on ourselves.

Believing that someone should be documented doesn't mean they hate them. Quite the opposite really. Your friend pays in social security but will never get it. If he has a profit sharing plan or 401K at work he will never get it. All because they're breaking the law by being here without becoming legal. They need to do the right thing. Why is that wrong?

I'm an American, and I don't hate any nationality. I have zero use for criminals, including illegal invaders(immigrants). News flash. Entering ANY nation without permission IS and ALWAYS has been, illegal. Lots of countries shoot people for that. I must admit, I do hate the fact that my nation lacks the guts to enforce OUR laws, cuz foreign nationals don't like it.
