I think a huge group of Americans just hate mexicans and are using the Illegal immigration debate as cover for their racism.

I don't think that Americans are against Mexicans, since they do provide needed labor especially in the agricultural industries. They also provide, as do all immigrants, a growing population versus a declining population due to a low birth rate.
I can't speak for all Americans but my sense is that they are against the unfairness of letting huge numbers of people of any country come into the USA illegally. Unfortunately our immigration laws have been rendered useless because of political reasons. Finally you must excuse Americans if they feel threatened after 911 with the reality that anyone can make it across our porous southern border, and that includes people who don't have our best interest at heart.

I think many are just against illegal immigration, but some ignorant racists here in Yahoo don't see a difference between an illegal immigrant and a Mexican.

You will see my name pop up very often when it comes to the subject of illegal immigration. I'm sure it is hard for people to believe that I am not racist, because I speak my mind on the this extremely controversial subject of illegal immigration. I am African-American for the person who said that I should wear a pointy white hat. I very much welcome immigration from all countries as long as it is done "LEGALLY". Every question I throw out is in regards to "ILLEGAL" immigration. I don't understand why people continue to be hostile with answers when I am only trying to express my own personal opinion on how over-populated a lot of us Americans think the U.S. has gotten, due to our Mexican neighbors crossing the boarder illegally & having babies to make it hard for them to be sent back to their country. They want to have a baby on American soil to keep this from happening. I made the comment about the 300-millionth baby born in America, because I really do believe that Mexico does have a hidden agenda. Yes, that baby is American, because it was born here; but... 9 times out of 10... it was born to an illegal immigrant!!!

I'm against illegal immigration, not just Mexicans, ALL nationalities. Mexicans and hispanics get the most attention because there are MORE of them. 33,000 illegal immigrants(an estimated number) in my CITY alone.

That's a pretty difficult question to answer... very broad.
I am against illegal alien / immigrants! I have nothing against any nationality. Though I do get upset at those who try to claim that latin-american immigrants have some sort of RIGHT to be here.
Oh... one mexican immigrant I hate... our Attorney General !!

The only Americans that are against Mexicans as a people are racist ones. I am against anyone who breaks our laws, whether that's murder, perjury or yes, entering our country illegally!

Actually you can't have done much reading on this forum... If you had you would know that overwhelmingly that it is Illegals (wither Mexican or not) that Americans are against. Legal immigrants are welcomed.
