Who else feels the same way i do when i say i'm sick and tired about all the bad talk about "Anchor Babies" should be stripped of citizen ship and how Mexican's will burn in Hell? All those lame jokes. People say "I'm not against the Latino's only illegal one's". Do you agree with that or do you think it's a bunch of racist bull and their trying to cover it up?

For all you know it all's i'm an US citizen born and raised both my parents are white. I do know what the word illegal means, my husband was born in Mexico!

I'm real sick of it. Mexicans are not the only illegal people in our country. For people to be so rude about burning in hell and so on is childish. They are nothing but scum on the bottem of my shoe. Especially that my husband is Mexican. He pays his taxes, speaks english, and works hard. Probably harder then most people on here.

There are a lot of people that don't know what they are talking about, and are just saying awful things about Mexican people. It's definitely a popular thing to do right now, because the president has been bringing it up, so everyone who thinks that you have to agree with the president or you're not an american has decided to use a completely inappropriate resource to rant and rave, and in the process lose site of what they are talking about and instead say awful things about a group of people.
Some people are simply discussing an issue, but others are not. They are indeed just bashing.
A personal story on the subject:
I live in Oregon. Oregon strawberries are amazing. But they're very delicate. You have to pick them by hand, and they go bad really soon after they've been picked. A few years ago, after Bush passed a bunch of laws making it harder for immigrants to get into the country, tons of oregon strawberries ended up just sitting in the field and rotting. They couldn't find enough people to pick them. Immigrants, especially mexican immigrants, come into this country and are willing to work hard at the jobs that no one else wants. They're picking fruit, cleaning houses, becoming dishwashers. I work in the restaurant industry. If there weren't immigrants, I have no idea who they would get to do the dishes in this industry. They are extremely valued members of the staff. The only other people you can get to wash dishes are irresponsible kids that never stay around for long.

Anyone who is saying things like "burn in hell" and "they should die" are completely retarded people so don't listen to the negative side. We are discussing what is right and what is wrong. The law is right and breaking it is wrong. Americans know that this is not just Mexicans but other illegals as well. We are fighting for the law, not against the race or the country.

Absolutely, they come here, make all kinds of demands and break the law and we're not supposed to say anything. All this is such an utter slap in the face to all the people who follow the rules and do the right thing to get into this country LEGALLY!!!, a word that apparently is not in a lot of the people who advocate illegal immigration's vocabularies. I want to see how many protests are carried out today in the countries where all the illegal immigrants are coming from, I'm betting not to many.

No, its not a bunch of racist bull.
It should not be sufficient to be born on US soil to become an American...it is an antiquated law. Any legal resident, immigrant or not, who has a child, the child should be a citizen...
Mexicans won't burn in Hell for being illegal aliens however.

I'm with you, it's a bunch of racist bull people are trying to cover up. In truth, it's the same old fears being expressed as racism and anti-immigration that has happened ANY time a "new" group has made substantial inroads into the US. At one time it was the Chinese. Then the Irish. Then the Italians. Then the Russians. All of those groups had large immigrant migrations, and all of them eventually gained acceptance while still maintaining a large part of their own culture. The same thing will happen with Mexicans, it's just a bad time right now.
By the way, anti-immigrant racists, you do realize that only about 25% of illegal immigrants currently in the US are from Mexico, right?

Who's bashing? If you don't want to talk about the finer points of the immigration issue, and in regard to US/Mexico border relations, then why are you here? There's lots of great people in Mexico, and the sooner they unite behind the idea of making their country a better place to live, the more money they'll be making, the better a standard of living they'll have, etc etc etc.
Believe it or not, the US/Mexico border fence is very pro-Mexico.
Cross-border crime has RUINED, let me say that again, RUINED cities in northern Mexico. Shutting down free and open cross-border traffic will put an end to a lot of that crime, and restore their livability.
Call it 'tough love', call it '12-piece chicken bucket to go', call it what you will, the fence is a great idea....
Support the US Border Patrol!

I have no problems with Immigrants Mexican or some other ethnicity it doesn’t mater. Unless you’re Native American all of us are Immigrants. But their doses need to be control over who comes in to our country. The only problem I have is I think is if you want to be here, if you want to be equal, pay taxes like the rest of us.

I'm not tired of it. They shouldn't be here illegally, then they wouldn't have anything to worry about.
