Do you wonder why it seems racist against Mexicans?

Question

http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/population/pop.pdf
Census Bureau
Why anti illegals seem racist to Mexicans.

See table 7 and 8
table 8-Legal immigrants
This shows over 2 million mexicans and 20,000 to 900,000 from other North American countries.
table 7-Estimated Illegal immigrants
This shows est. over 7000000 of ILLEGAL mexican immigrants compared to a few hundred thousand of immigrants from other countries.
Also, it shows that the last few years, there are FEWER LEGAL immigrants than before. Perhaps because its the easy way and the lazy way. But they are such hard workers.
---So do you still wonder why it seems racist to mexicans to speak on illegals? And maybe you get offended if you are mexican because you KNOW these facts?

And I just can't wait for someone to say how I don't get my facts or how I need to do my homework or whatever, or tell me I am racist just for putting out the facts.

Answer 1

Way to go AveGirl! I am not racist either, and have several mexican friends that are really neat people, but that doesn't change the facts. Don't be intimidated by people who want to label everyone racist and prejudiced that actually has beliefs and stands on them.

Answer 2

Mexicans aren't a race. Being against illegal immigration has nothing to do with racism; it's all about RESPECTING THE LAW. Illegal immigrants are criminals.

Answer 3

I get your facts, but I don't get your point.

So, 4.8 mil of 7 mil are from Mexico. That's 3.2 mil from outside Mexico.

That means 45% of illegals are not Mexican. I once knew an illegal Bosnian, so was she Mexican? (By the way, she didn't know she was illegal - she and her husband - a citizen - married in her homeland and thought that finalized her citizenship. Oops! Didn't.)

45% of Americans once believed that Hussein was directly involved in 9/11. Does that mean that it's insulting to Americans to say Hussein wasn't directly involved in 9/11?

I get where you're going but you're not making a clear argument.

Exactly what are you trying to say? That people against illegal immigration aren't racist? Of course, not all of them are. I also know a good number of them who are racist. But, that doesn't mean that you are.

Answer 4

What do you propose no longer all adult males are created the two? have you ever examine the assertion of Independence? the thought each physique adult males are created equivalent is on the middle of yankee society. different than that, I believe you. Race should not be a controversy in any respect. human beings could have satisfaction in themselves, their background, and their lifestyle, yet to make a great fuss approximately satisfaction in a particular race in basic terms widens the hollow between them.

Answer 5

Oh, you definitely are racistbut using the chart as an excuse to be so. Did you ever consider that there are more Mexica immigrants because they havethe easiest time getting to America, since many can spit from their front yard in Mexico, and hit US soil? oh, and the other border is with Canada, andwe don't WANT to go to America. we have it better here. free health care, free schooling, fewer guns, more respect.

Answer 6

47 percent of Americans say that immigration is a problem in the United States. The other 53 percent say "NO HABLO INGLES"

Answer 7

I agree with you...
Good girl....
I am not "racist" or Anti immigration....
I am Anti ILLEGAL immigration...
and the vast majority of our illegals are Mexicans....

Answer 8

They don't wanna see the facts or the proof Ave girl. They will refuse and think of stupid things to change the subject from the truth. Point blank.

Answer 9

that is just because it is South of the border! If Malaysia had been there, the same thing would have happened. Or if any other poor country (choose one, they are the majority in this planet) had been there, it would have been the same.

Answer 10

Our gov. is already developing the traits of Mexican gov. How you going to like it when America is taken over by Mexico, and we have the same dictatorship laws that they have there?
