What do you think about Mexican CITIZENS (Not Gov.) living in Mexico?

Question

I asked a while back in the Mexico's section what they tought about the reaction of Americans as far as "Illegal Immigration" and most of them awnsered with agreeing with Americans because they wouldn't like that to happen to their country as well. But is that a justifiable enough reason why theres so much hatred against ALL Mexican citizens including legal ones living in America and Mexicans that live in Mexico? Is this the nature of America having so mush racism against other ethnicities? I had no racist or hatred remark about Americans in my question posted in the Mexican section by the way.

Here You go Dar.

Hexador, Obviously you dont know how to read Spanish. so before you start accusing me of a lier, learn how to read Spanish before you make any coments. Since what you are saying is not true, YOURE the liar. Why do you have to be so RACIST? Making things up because you have different views on certain issues doesnt mean you have to make things up in order to make me look bad and calling me a liar.

And by the way, show me some links where Mexicans have brought Polio, and STD's etc. in Texas. Ive lived in TExas and there hasnt been such thing. YOURE THE LIAR AGAIN.

Answer 1

I think most citizens who live in Mexico are middle class and lead normal lives. Families who immigrate here (for the American dream) come from middle class (who have studied but still can not get a decent paying job in their field of expertise) and from the working class. I have traveled all over Mexico and met many wonderful people. I think many US citizens have the biased view that all Mexicans are peasants begging for money, which as you and I both know isn't true.

Answer 2

From your previous question, I would say that you are misreading wanting laws upheld for racism, and that is not fair or okay. Generalizations beget more generalizations. However, there are people in all colors who are racist against other people. And that is wrong. As for your current question, I like Mexicans living in the U.S(legally), and living in there home country. I don't dislike illegal immigrants of any nationality, but I do disagree with the way they chose to enter this country.In spite of it's problems, there are places in Mexico that are very beautiful. Having not met every Mexican in the entire world, I would venture to assume they are like all people. Some are nice, some are not. This is true for Americans, British, Colombians, etc.

Answer 3

Just the fact that the Mexicans in Mexico understand, that they wouldn't like it either, makes me feel better, it is not hatred for me it is the simple fact they are invading our country, and marching in our streets demanding things they have no right to, no one has the right to just come as they please into a sovereign nation. especially by the hundreds of thousands. they have brought disease back into our country, polio, TB, out breaks of plague, their was an out break in Texas. These diseases have all come back to the U.S. because we cannot check if they are diseased. I wouldn't care if they came legally then we could check for criminals and diseased people. I don't think they would like it if I came to Mexico and spread some kind of disease around. When they march and hold signs that say this is their continent, and wave their Mexican flag, and their Mexican activists groups preach to the illegals that it is their country, wouldn't you be pissed off to. When they take a Mexican flag an raise it at a government post office, you begin to feel hatred for them, they show no respect for the country that is feeding them and their families. They are the worst immigrants to ever come to this country, they actually believe they have a right to be here, they brought all this on them selves. I don't hate them yet, but I am sure they will work on that, they will do something else to make the American people sick and mad.

P.S. I read some of the answers in the Mexican section, and the little girl Adelina said it best she is only 11 years old. She knows what is going on. And your question was implying that every one is racists. You are a lier.

Answer 4

Everything you just said is a lie aside from the welfare statement. I know because I stay in Thailand and was looking at Mexico first and planning to immigrate there. Mexico is one of the easiest countries to immigrate to. -All you need to know is basic Spanish, you don't need to be fluent. -There is no need for bi-lingual education, anybody can learn spanish by going to a library or typing "learn spanish" in google. Anybody can learn the basics of spanish easily. -Anybody can apply for citizenship after residing in Mexico for 5 years. -Any citizen with enough money can buy property anywhere in Mexico. It's the people who are not citizens that can't buy property near the ocean. Big deal, I can't purchase property here in Thailand as a foreigner, so Mexico is already going out on a limb by letting foreigners purchase property in the first place. Check USA's requirements for foreigners buying property and you will see that it is much easier in Mexico. -When illegal immigrants are caught in Mexico, they are detained and deported, just like in USA, unless they have some money on them, then la migra can "overlook" the situation.

Answer 5

well i do not think it is the nature of America to hate others but the other way around . i in fact think that most Americans are accepting and know when to mind their own business .

however there seems to be a group of xenophobic which comes out every time a new ethnic group arrives and use to blame them of every problem they may have .

this happened to the Irish , to the Italians, to the Chinese in the 1870 and to every new group of immigrants . if we could put all of the xenophobic through American history together most would agree than the other is lowering their wages and that most of their problems comes from the other and never from themselves .

i been studying the history of the Chinese lately and u wouldn't believe the thing s that were done to them . i also had found out that most Americans ignore what happened back then . i find this to be disturbing because it seems like if every time they forget history history repeats once more .

Answer 6

I have absolutely nothing against Mexicans living in Mexico or the ones who legally came here.

I think that there is a lot of resentment due to illegal immigration impacts, and the face of illegal immigration in many parts of the country is overwhelmingly Mexican. However, it is only the ones who came or over-stayed illegally that I have any problem with, and it isn't racial.

Missaway, Columbus was Spanish, and he has nothing to do with rights of entry to the US. If he showed up himself, he would need a visa.

By the way, I went to check out your question and the answers you got on the Mexico board, and couldn't find it in your Q&A. Could you post it?

Answer 7

I know nothing about Mexicans who live in Mexico, so I have no opinion about them.

And there's no justifying hatred for an entire group of people. I don't think it's in the nature of all American people to hate anyone. It's just that the ones who do are so frigging loud about it.

Answer 8

I have no hatred legal Mexicans. The ones who come here because they really want to better themselves. Who want their kids to have the best of everything and who will teach their kids morals and what is right from wrong. What I dislike is the ones who come here knowing they are illegal and what does that teach their kids? What does it show the ones who are trying to do it the right way?

Answer 9

Why does everyone think immigration is about hatred? Oh yeah, they are ignorant! It is not hatred. It is frustration of having our local government's funds drained from supporting the illegals and their children. It is about the increase in violent crimes and DUI deaths. It is about our children being neglected of their education because some nonenglish speaking, illegal child is taking up space in the public school system. Everyone needs to visit the link below to understand the impact illegal aliens are having on our state governments.

This is not about hatred for anyone!

Answer 10

American was founded on racism. Ask the Indians. Ask the people they kidnapped from their homelands to come here and work. So why would Mexicans think they are special?
