Question

My dad came to the us in the 80's as an illegaimmigrant from mexico! he became a us citizen in 1996 and brought us over here with him.

Answer 1

PFC Monjaras...Thank You for your service! Hope you get the opportunity to travel and see that people in general are a little suspicious of others until they get to know them.

Answer 2

The Mexican immigration question goes back more than 150 years after the civil war. Mexicans I think getting the short end by the media smoke screening the issues. Americans like cheap Mexican labor because we can pay them next to nothing, and they wont report us for labor, or human rights violations. I think opening up the borders to pre 1929 boundaries would help in the long run to regularize migration flows. Each time we tighten up the border the more likely the migrants are gonna stay in the Untied States. The right-wing nativist think were all Anglos, and only 10% of the American population orginated from the British Isles, a lot of us came from Germany, France, Russia, not so much British Isles. When I see Tercedos spewing out hypocrisy I think 100 years ago when my ancestors came over they called us alcoholic inbred dummies that didnt know English at all. How could you when they came over from France??? The immigration debate gotta get beyond perceptions and look at the problem as it is and accept were all migrants across the western Hemisphere, were not Europe, Asia, were the Americas.

Americans don't hate Mexicans, but hate the abuse illegals do to us, by us paying taxes so they can get free medical care, welfare, food, housing, and yet, many of them commit atrocious crimes against US, rape, murder, kidnapping, and assault. Today on Fox News, it was reported that illegals (mexican) commit sexual crimes against 8 American children under the age of 12, per day. (Look it up on Fox News.com under Bill O'Reilly). These are facts. It has escalated so far that Americans are nothing short of PO! We've had enough!
The majority of Mexicans are NOT willing to die for this country, proof being they wouldn't do it for their own! Don't you see illegals, and LEGAL aliens waving Mexico's flag, and chanting hate names against America? If you don't you don't live in CA, TX, NM, NV, AZ, or you don't watch the news.
I respect anyone who comes here legally for a better life, but they must also love us too, as you say you do. They must love US above their former country, or they will never be American, no matter what papers they have signed. God Bless America!

Your dad did things the right way. He came to America he became a citizen and he became apart of America and to that you are grateful and joined the army. Here is the catch most of the Mexicans want to come over and have the free ride. They don't want to work to become citizens. So what happens they turn to drugs and crime and stand out in front of home depot to get paid under the table. They give the Mexicans a bad name. They want the same right as you but don't want to work for them.

Answer 5

The reason is because that is the largest group of illegals comming in and invading my country. Your dad broke federal laws by comming here illegally. If he came here legally, then there would be no problem, but he didn't, just like the other majority of mexicans. Once there is a dramatic reduction in the numbers of illegal mexicans invading my country, then not so many Americans will hate mexicans.

Answer 6

I'm happy for you, but most Mexicans think that they can come to the U>S> and thing they are citizens just because they are in the U.S. "THey don't serve their country and they think that their real country is Mexico. That's what American's don't like. If you are willing to go to war for the U.S. I definitely think that you are an American, however that doesn't happen often.

Answer 7

wow, great for your dad, im the type however that believes either something is or is not, the word illegalimmigrant is a complete oxymoron, if its illegal you are not an immigrant of this country, in my eyes anyways.
the days of the industrial revolution are overwith there is no longer a need for such rediculous levels of immigration, be it legal immigration or not and despite whatever one race thinks about the other nobody knows exactly what is really happening to this country.
actually, ya know what who cares, there are so many jobs being lost in the US and moved to outside countries everyday in ten fifteen years immigrants will be jumping the border to find a job in Mexico and China...every race and culture in this country needs to swallow their racial pride and deal with the fact that this country is becomming a complete hole.

Answer 8

Considering the post above mine, there seems to be plenty of hate going around.

Nobody hates the people. What Americans object to is the entitlements and freebies that illegals receive on behalf of our screwed up government that even WE don't get.

There's a legal immigration line. Get in it. In your case, kudos to you for contributing to it. But on the other hand, don't pat yourself on the back for all the cheap labor. That job would have paid an American or a LEGAL immigrant more money. .

Answer 9

PFC Monjaras I salute you for your service to the USA! You are a fine example of a young person today. However, not all people hate Mexicans.

Have you filed for US Citizenship? Military service during a time of war (now) allows for expedited Naturalization.

Answer 10

a lot of americans are really ignorant. they feel that since there is a growing population of mexicans that mexicans are taking over. they don't like being in the minority. also, since many do not speak spanish, they feel that mexicans should learn english rather than americans learn spanish to accommodate them. americans like to target different ethnicities for political reasons. for instance, middle easterns (still to this day b/c of 9/11). now, they are more ignorant b/c of immigration policies and how illegal immigrants don't have to pay taxes. they take it out on all mexicans. there are those who don't feel like this but keep their mouths shut so they can agree with what the ignorant ones say. Mexicans do have a bad rep now, but if more and more rise up against the stupid stereotypes against them, the ignorance in peoples minds will change.
