Answer 2

Last July Fourth,
Mexico's EWE news service published an interview
With the celebrated Mexican novelist Elena Poniatowska
in which she noted:

"Mexico is at this moment
recovering territories it lost in the past to the United States
thanks to emigration.
The common people --
The poor, the uneducated, the dirty, the lice ridden, the roaches
are advancing on the United States,
a country that needs to speak Spanish
because it has 33.5 million Hispanics
who are imposing their culture,"
observed Poniatowska.
"Mexico is recovering the territories
yielded to the United States by means of migratory tactics."

I Did NOT Compose That Paragraph

celebrated Mexican novelist Elena Poniatowska Did



The common people --
The poor, the uneducated, the dirty, the lice ridden, the roaches
are advancing on the United States,



These Are The Sentiments Of Mexicos Own People
Toward Mexican Citizens



And I Agree With Her Statement

Well, most would seem to be "low class" in the sense that they are generally poor, or at least poorer that the average American citizen.

As for being criminals, not all of them. Many of them probably are. (I guess isnce they are here ILLEGALLY, that would make them "criminals" by default, since they are engaging in illegal activity by coming here illegally - but I think besides that, most are not criminals).

I have no beef with Mexicans, illegal or not. I just think we need to control the influx of illegals somewhat. I think that's reasonable.

Answer 4

Typically, the new high influx of new immigrants is considered low class scum in the eyes of the American public. It happened with the high influx of the Irish in the 19th century and has with every new influx of immigrants. The only difference is that they're here illegally.

Answer 5

The illegals that come across our border between the USA and Mexico are low class, extremely poor and they are breaking our laws and for that they are criminals. If they use any funny documents they are also breaking the laws and they are criminals. Across the border also come illegal drugs, pederast, criminals, drug pushers, etc. etc. Now when you call them scum, you are wrong, because for being poor that doesn't make all of them scums.

Answer 6

Anyone who stereotypes all illegals is not basing their opinion on reality. Some are decent people, some are scum, just like some of the people here legally are decent and some are scum.
Illegals are putting themselves at risk by coming here, and they have none of the protections US citizens have. They should stay in Mexico and work to make Mexico better for the sake of the people there who they have left behind.

Answer 7

Personally I dont consider all who are illegal scum... that is a title I reserve for murderers, rapists, kidnappers, robbers, terrorists and traitors only (some of which may just coincidentally be illegal).

I would however much prefer it if they came in the legal way... many immigrants do come in legally so why cant they have the patience to do so? (its not like Mexico is a hell hole like North Korea anyway)

And by the way... check most of the arguments of the illegal-immigrant supporter camp... most of their arguments for illegals revolve around the fact that they are supposedly "low class poor folk".

Answer 8

US have been very2x beneficiant allowing all variety of human beings to come back right here for it somewhat is prevalent to be an invaluable united states.and its downfall--"allowin undocumented human beings coming in.its not juz bout mexican people who're contain with this mess it addresses to all and sundry who're smart adequate to exploit the wealthy & kindness us of a of america has to presented. yet on the different hand we could not juz call undocumented as a criminal.

Answer 9

Scum-no Selfish-Yes

Answer 10

The people who are here without proper papers have commited a crime, they are not paying taxes but they are using this countries resources for free , inessence making others pay for their freedom and benefit. It is a type of theft. All thieves are low class, even rich theives, to have class means to have integrity and honor. There are poor people that are very high class. You are confusing class, poverty and crime.

Answer 11

No they're mostly not scum (of course I'm sure some of them must be, just like some of any group are), but they are coming over illegally and that is wrong and it's costing legal taxpayers money in the long run.

Illegal immgrants do NOT pay taxes.
