Americans want the Mexicans to follow laws that makes us pay money to them in the form of taxes. They also belive if we wish to live on their land that we turn our backs to Mexico and become Americans. All we want to do is live here, and use what ever benifits that we want to.
Why is their so much hatred towards me and my people ?

its not so much hatred its the fact that americans think you and your people cheat the system. think about it, you work off the books and pay no taxes whatsoever, you are not legal citizens so you don't qualify for health coverage. american citizen's taxes are greatly affected by this. also because mexican people will take a job for far less money, because you are not a legal citizen therefore are not bound by american wage laws, and cheat normal citizens out of work. no compnay would pay a legal citizen minimum wage, or like $8 an hour when a mexican would work for $4 an hour. americans greatly believe that mexicans come here poor, and we as tax payers have to support you. poor people usually live in slums or on welfare ( another thing working legal citizens pay taxes on ) and therefore attract drugs and other illegal activities. mexico is like the biggest importer of drugs to america, figure it out. if american citizens went to mexico with nothing and started stealing your jobs for less money and not paying taxes or becoming legal citizens, wouldn't you be pissed that you have to support them? you don't illegal immigrants understand this? i don't mean to be mean or racist or anything like that, but really think about that for a moment and you will see why people " hate you ", which by the way isn't true. honestly anyone that comes here with nothing and works his a-ss off for hardly any money and can support a family is a damn good person to me. thats the great respect i have for mexican people is that they can do that. it is unfair though that they pay no taxes or anything like that.

Excuse me, hun. I am an immigrant myself (not from Mexico though) and i don't think you can just take advantage of living in America and totally disregard its laws. If you arrive to any country you first have to respect its culture and laws. Home come do you think you are not obligated to pay taxes? Every American pays their taxes and what do you think makes you an exception from the rules? You think you're above the Law and can do whatever you want without demonstrating any respect to this country? Yes, you HAVE to follow the American laws and PAY your taxes just like every American does!

All americans arent like that. I'm not. I don't know you so how can I hate you?? Everybody pays taxes here no matter who you are or where you're from. It's only right for you to become a citizen to live here. Otherwise they DO make you go home. It's one of our laws. If you cant follow our laws, you can't stay here. It's only fair for all involved.

Americans are definitely not the only ones guilty of this. This exists everywhere in the world. AND you are stereotyping Americans by saying this. All Americans do not think the same. And an American is anyone who is a citizen of this country, including people from many cultures, countries, races, etc,.

because what you just said is exactly what all of the other illegal imigrans say. Why should we the american tax payers pay for you to eat, your kids to get educations, free medical coverage, or for your house when you don't want to pay taxes like the rest of us? How do we know that you want sell us out too mexico if you don't turn your back on mexico and become a citizen? Why should my daughter not get to go to head start because mexican children who are not legal are taking up all the slots in the class? Why do i have to pay to feed your family when my family has been eating macoroni for the last week? Why should I pay for you to have a good life when I have to force myself to go to work with a ruptured disc in my back just so I can keep my family off the street and all my tax dollars go to supporting none citizens? Why is my friend dead to a drunk illegal driving a stolen car with no licens who fled the scene and she bled to death? He was never caught due too either fleeing this country or changing over to a new Identity. Why do so many illegal imigrants traffic in drugs in my area? Why would you come into a gas station and try to buy beer and cigarettes on your food stamp card provided by our tax dollars? Why do you decerve food stamps, well fare, and free medical when you are driving a brand new car? Why did I serve my country over seas so I could come back with a broken back and no help while Illegals get everything and then go home with out paying for it?

Well, alot of what you just said pretty much sums up why people are ticked off. Wouldn't you just love it if I moved to your home country of Mexico, flew my American flag, spoke only English and you better accomodate me? What if I wanted everything you had as a Mexican citizen, but I don't want to have any loyalty to you. In fact, what if I didn't even like Mexico and just kept insulting them and calling them a bunch of racists when things don't go my way. It's like an obnoxious houseguest, you won't be invited back.

I'm going to answer this type of question this last time. Americans don't hate Mexicans! Do Mexicans hate COLUMBIANS? NO, but they keep them from entering Mexico illegally. Mexico has a right to protect their borders so why not the U.S. Why don't Mexicans fix what they don't like about their country instead of tucking their tails and running here? Early Americans died for change. Why wont Mexicans? FIX YOUR OWN COUNTRY!

I'm sorry but if that's a serious question you should be deported to a desolate island so you cannot breed into any functional society.
Perhaps me and my people (you know, law abiding tax payers?) don't feel like forking over massive chunks of our paychecks to pay for your people. Maybe our people are tired of convicted felons from your country raping our laws. Maybe the family of the cop in Dallas who was just killed by an illegal immigrant doesn't think that criminals deserve these benefits that you seem to be so willing to help yourself to. Why don't we all just stop paying taxes, hmm?
People are far too quick to forget the first word in the phrase "illegal immigration".

"""All we want to do is live here, and use what ever benefits that we want to."""
^[ quote.........unquote ]^
I think that is why a lot of people get mad........................YOU said it.
If someone comes here to NOT have to pay taxes.........is that fair to the rest of us? NOT pay taxes BUT soak up ALL or whatever benefits you can?
Some people are just prejudice and some people just want things to be fair .......for EVERYBODY.
I personally think that WHOMEVER you are if a person goes into another country they need to pay whatever taxes that everyone else pays there. That is called FAIR. Where ever you live you should pay the taxes.........not everybody else pay and you don't.....that is only common sense.

It's not hate, it's common sense. Why should you get the benefits that I pay for?? Yep, that I and every other legal American PAY for. That is what OUR taxes do. I'm sorry, but I have a family support and that's enough without having to support you too!!!!
