Are illegal Mexicans terrorists?

Question

Report back later for more details. I wanna see answers first.

I was actually expecting more yes's for this question actually.

I actually thought this question because a past question many people said that illegals shouldnt join the military because they could be spies, terrorists... Whatever.

Answer 1

economic and cultural terrorists...

Answer 2

"illegal Mexicans"? What does that mean anyway? They are illegally Mexican? At any rate, Mexican people who are here without the legal right to be, according to the accepted methods of immigration, are not necessarily "terrorists". You have to first define what a terrorist is. If that is what some or all happen to fit the criteria of, then you can conditionally say yes or say no.

What Mexican people are, however, are indigenous peoples of the Americas. And a good part of the United States was once Mexico. That is, before their land was taken in the US' war on Mexico. And even then, the US has broken the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo anyway. So many Mexican people have valid claims if they say they are natives, and have a right to belong.

Answer 3

They are terrorists in much the same way that most U.S. citizen's forefathers were when they came here to take away jobs (read land) from the Native Americans (or if you prefer Indians).
The nerve of someone coming from a backwards area with abject poverty, to try and get a dream job that pays some astronomical rate like even 6 bucks an hour! I can't believe they want to come and freeload doing cool, fun jobs like paving roads in 100 plus degree weather.
I think the lesson to be learned here is that the U.S. and Mexico border isn't a border between countries so much as a border between economies and opportunities. So, until people here decide to do the packing house jobs, the construction jobs, you are going to get people here who aren't all legal clamoring for jobs.
Are all illegal aliens law abiding, nope, and believe it or not, some U.S. citizens I've met as a cop weren't either, go figure!

Answer 4

Well, without any kind of screening into the USA from our border on the south, there is no way we can know who is coming across into the USA, why they are coming or where they are coming from. A terrorist could 'pose' as a Mexican. They are actually learning Spanish in order to do so. I don't think a Mexican would be a terrorist, but then, they DO hate Americans, so it would be in our best interest to know who comes into the USA. We need to close the border there and screen every person who comes into the USA. They MUST have legal documentation or they should NOT be allowed to enter.

Answer 5

Not all Mexicans are terrorists because some come to America just to have a better life style. Then there are others who are terrorists and those are the ones who make some think that all Mexicans are terrorist, but you will never know who is and who isnt a terrorist until they come out in the open with it.

Answer 6

Well...they maybe according to the HOMELAND SECURITY rules...they are doing some weird stuff. But I like Mexicans...you should see my kids ! Many of the new brown people washing your dishes and scrubbing your floors aren't from Mexico they are from Central and South America. If you had been born there you would be doing the same thing they are....I think everyone willing to take the dangers of walking thru the desert for an uncertain future deserves some respect. Many of the economic problems in their countries are a direct impact of jobs going to China...think about that at Walmart.

Answer 7

They are criminals to start with and I keep hearing how they just want to earn money for their families so it is logical that some of them might do terroristic things for the money real terrorist groups might pay them, and as a group they have no loyalty to the USA. The vast majority though are not terrorists, merely common criminals who should be deported.

Answer 8

No. A terrorist is someone who employs terrorism as a tool, usually for political change and attention.
The old terrorism paradigm was that terrorists carefully measured the context and size of their attack, to maximize exposure, but to ensure that they did not cross the "pain threshold", a watershed marker that would unite popular support against them.
After 9/11 the debate has been whether Al Qaeda misjudged America's pain threshold, or changed the paradigm to zero-sum terrorism... i.e. one side wins and the other loses.

This once was a wonderful neighborhood .now the Mexicans have just about taken over. racing down the street. parking in front of my driveway.they came into my yard when having a party and took my yard chairs. knocked over my plants in pots.drove over my plants.put there trash cans in my yard to be picked up.the Mexicans on both sides try to put there trash vans in my yard, but I stopped them.blew the horn and hollered at my while I am out picking up there trash they throw out in the street. have called the law on them four times.I threatened them the other day telling them if they kept it up I was getting out my guns and friends together and were having a war.I never cared one way are the other about them till I found out what they are. there trashy people.I tried being nice and they look at me weird when I wave at them. I gave a very nice toy to the neighbors child the other day. the mother didn't say anything but. were taking over the whole street!!Jacksonville. florida. I dont know about them being terrorists.

Answer 10

Not unless Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were Mexican

Answer 11

Not Yet. Given a chance. "Mexicans" could never be terrorists, they can help this country. Although the Illegal aliens on the other hand are extremely destructive. The "Mexicans"who come here legally take the time to go through the proper channels. Mexico in a year brings in 40000 Guatemalans that WILL do the jobs the Mexicans wont. who, my Friend who do you really think are crossing OUR borders?? If you need something to worry about, consider outside North America
