We are a land based upon rules that citizens of today and years ago sacrificed to create and protect.
We welcome immigrants if they do it according to our rules. If we allow the rules to be broken to accomodate you, then why not those from Vietnam, Iceland or France?
Mexico, is a beautiful country, I just don't understand why the residents of that country don't work together to root out the corruption and those who refuse to follow your rules?
My dad's dad, some 15 generations or so back left England and landed near Salem Mass. in 1637, life was tough then and there but those who survived the crossing, the winters, and the indians made the US what it is today and so can the Mexican people.
Your society is a hard working bunch, and if you would begin to pull together to improve your country, I am sure the United States would contribute greatly to your effort.
Or, perhaps the Mexican people should consider becoming a part of the United States and become our 51st state?

Americans as a whole are not against mexican immigrants, however, we do not support thier right to disregard our laws as it does not fit thier agenda. If I went to Mexico, I would be arrested if I did not follow thier laws. I hate what the Mexican government has done to a beautiful country but the people need to stand up and fix thier own problems before coming here and telling us what is wrong with our country. Illegal immigrants are just that--illegal--someone who has committed a crime. Whats so hard to understand. You come here, obey the law and become a U.S. citizen, otherwise stay where in your country.

Why are you so cowardly that you cannot rise up against your worthless and unpatriotic government and change your country for the better?
I have no problem with you as people, I have problems with your actions which are ILLEGAL!
What you've ranted out is giving me the impression that your country is hopeless, is that what you want the world to hear?
And by the way, if I was poor and homeless I would try to change my life for the better by working for it honestly, because thats how I've been raised and thats what I believe.
How were you raised hmm? Do anything it takes even if its against the law so long as it makes you feel good?

I didn't actually read that whole rant, because bad punctuation and spelling make my head spin.
My problem with illegal immigrants from any place is that they are not documented. So they are hard to track in the event that they break any more laws.
Most of us are descended from people who also wanted a better life. So they immigrated here legally. They became part of the system, they took from the system, and they gave back. They learned the language, taught their children the language, and assimilated into society.
Whatever happened to that system, and why do many people seem to think they are above it?

Illegal = negative in most cases.
It's not fair to America and it's citizens to have to work hard and pay taxes so some "poor" family can unlawfully cross the border and complicate being deported by popping out a bunch of children at the taxpayers expense.
They can come here and wave flags and protest in the streets for extra rights, why can't they do that in Mexico to get what they need?
Why do illegals think America has this endless supply of money to support them and their children. Their education and medical? American benefits are paid for by LEGAL citizens and they are meant for LEGAL citizens.

It's not Mexicans, It is Illegal Immigrants who come here and work for practically nothing taking jobs away from the people that were working before them, and get free medical treatment and food stamps and all of the other bullshit that the government gives them. Even legal Immigrants are treated better than people that were born here. I do not get free medical Insurance. I have to pay taxes out of my paycheck. Besides if everyone moves to America we will eventually run out of space for everyone.

Well first of all. They're not Mexican Immigrants
The proper term by law is illegal aliens..
This is America, it's not our responsibility to give them a better life. America is the land of opportunity and the free for it's legal citizens.
Now stop blaming America for the illegal alien problem.
They chose to come here, We didn't ask them.
Don't try and plan a guilt trip or play the racist cards, because they just don't work.

We're all looking for a better life. Many are struggling to maintain what they spent generations to attain. We have a legal immigration system. No One is against IMMIGRATION.....it's the ILLEGAL immigrants we are having an issue with. Why is that so hard to understand.? Poverty is no excuse to ignore the law.

tell that to the Mexican government. tell the Mexican gov to fix their country, raise the pay, and do something to get more jobs in that country. instead of boycotting American company's in America. go to Mexico and boycott the American company's there. we have no problem with legal immigrants. it's the illegal ones.

We have no problem with Mexican immigrants, it's all th eillegal aliens violating our laws. If Mexico is so bad, then the people should try to fix it instead of coming here and dragging our system down.
