Why do americans don't accept mexicans or latinos in the united states?

Question

I've said it before, I'm mexican and I'm proud of it. All my respect to all americans, but why don't you want us here? What did we do to you? The reason we are here is because we want a better life. We are not criminals! We respect all americans. Give me atleast 5 reasons what we do to you.

Answer 1

I don't have a problem with them. Or any other race. I'm Asian and i work my *** off to come here LEGALLY.

What is hard to accept is that most Mexicans or other race come here in America legally and don't really work.

And my really problem is those people who come here illegally. There's a lot of people who come here in USA and been waiting years for their visa, and then we will hear all illegal Mexicans complaining that they are being deported.

Answer 2

I don't mind Mexicans, or any other group in the U.S., as long as they're here LEGALLY. Illegal aliens might do some jobs others aren't willing to, that's true, but they also cost our government millions of dollars in health care bills and other expenses. I think the government should take a stronger stance against illegal immigration. While it sounds good to just let anyone come to our country that wants a better life, America couldn't do that forever. Look at China; they're so overpopulated that the government literally has to limit the number of children each family has. I personally don't want that to have to happen in the United States, and it might in the many years to come if we just let any illegal alien that comes into our country stay here. I don't see how any latino that is in the U.S. legally can be for letting illegal aliens have citizenship either. I personally would be pissed. All of that time, money, and hassle spent getting into this country legally, and the gov't would hand citizenship to a person that just managed to get across the border? That wouldn't be fair. My point is that good intentions in a country don't mean you should be allowed to stay there illegally. If a person really wants to come to America to better themselves, they should go through our legal system and obtain citizenship.

Answer 3

It's funny that you make the statement, "Americans don't accept.....)" , thereby branding all Americans for actions of a few. Yet you expect Americans to accept all Mexicans, regardless if they are bad or good.

When you say, "we accept all Americans" I doubt that you speak for the millions of Mexicans in the U.S. Proud to be Mexican? I hope you are. Proud to be American? I know I am. I know better than to brand a whole nations peoples for the actions of some. Kindly do the same.

Answer 4

Where do you live? I think there are certain parts of the US where Latinos/Chicanos are more accepted or however you want to put it. I used to live in Portland, OR and my goodness it is sooo white that I am sure that Latins/Chicanos probably feel like the major minority but I now I live in Los Angeles and I believe the situation is much different there. There are still many illegal immigrants but for the most part I think that "Americans" have a problem with the illegal aspect of it all not because of the color of your skin.

Don't pay attentions to those who hate on you just keep moving up and show them differently:)

Answer 5

Why are you attempting to fire up issues at here? I recommend how do you be responsive to that one and all Cubans fly the yankee flag with delight. I recommend isn't there a place in florida talked approximately as little cuba or havanna? i don't think of that's adapting too plenty to this u . s . in case your isolating your self in a undeniable section. and to not act like i'm and anti yet why did your mum and dad come to this u . s . as a exchange of attempting to unfastened cuba from castro? And did they bypass in the process the right channels to get here or merely land or took great thing approximately that entire being on dry land and your immediately a united statescitizen regulation.

Answer 6

I keep seeing all this ... if you are came legally you are welcome bs. I came legally ( and a citizen now), have not criminal record (not even a traffic ticket), I am a middle class going to college while being a mom and let me tell you I do feel racism and discrimination quite often. You can see how some people are really nice until they ask where I am from and I say I was born in Mexico, their faces change. I wish that bs if you do it right you'll get treated right was true !

Answer 7

I respect any American of any color.

1 American unemployment is higher than Mexican unemployment.
2 The statement that Mexicans are doing Jobs that Americans wont do is a lie. Americans would be glad to do those jobs at a decent wage and in safe working conditions.
when illegals come here and do it cheaper and with no regard for safety and human dignity it lowers the standards of all American workers who have fought and have died in some cases for a better life for working people.
3 YOU are criminals if you are breaking the law you are a criminal you are here illegally therefore you are a criminal. If I went to Mexico and broke your laws I would certainly be a criminal.
4 Mexicans need to stay in there country and hold there leaders up and accountable for the conditions in Mexico. If the best Mexicans keep leaving the problem will not be solved. Ireland's best resource its youth kept leaving when there youth decided to stay Ireland improved.
5 The racist idea that mexican illegals are not capable of doing more than picking fruit and therefore no problem is racist. the Mexican people are capable of any work and are smart enough to take anyones job that includes brain surgeans and rocket sceintists and they will. Mexicans are not as stupid as they want Americans to think they are.

I respect that you want a better life. I want you to have that. My father stood on picket lines with bats and guns aimed at him. My grandfather and my father fought for safe working conditions a decent wage and human dignity. When I work with illegals who do the jobs that are unsafe because they are being used and abused by greedy people it makes me sick. I see it every day. Every worker deserves diginity and respect. The workers of Mexico have to fight for that in Mexico. Instead they are lowering standard for there brother and sister workers in the united states. You need to fight where the fight is that is in Mexico. You need to tell American companies you are entitled to a decent wage and safe working conditions at home where your Heart is.
If your heart is in Mexico Go fight for it. My heart and my roots are here If your heart is here in American welcome if its not Go home.

Answer 8

I thought Mexicans & Latinos were Americans.

Answer 9

It is not that we don't want Mexicans or Latinos here but a lot of them come in illegally and its not right and they get jobs and taxes are involved and all that. I know that everyone wants a better life, and that complicates it. It is confusing, but I agree with you we should all be treated equal. It is just that some people are illegally living here, illegal immagrants. Its not that we don't want Mexicans here, we just don't want illegal immagrants. Better life or not, people still have to register in. I hope that answers your question.

Answer 10

You have a right to come here, just like anyone else. But you have to come here legally. My ancestors came her. They had to go through all kinds of tests. They had to have proper documentation. They were checked to communicable diseases.

The American people are upset that our own politicians are failing to protect us from an invasion. There is no control of our borders. At the same time, they are creating a police state here, to "protect us from terrorism".

Do you lock the door to your house? Is it because you want to control who can come into your house? That's why we have immigration laws.

Why doesn't Mexico just allow people to immigrate from Central America. We know that the Mexican border police will shoot them.

We cannot handle too many people from one country at one time. We can only handle them as fast as they can assimilate. Our politicians are telling immigrants not to assimilate. The American people are tired of seeing signs in Spanish. This is American. When you come here, you learn English and become an American.

Several hospitals in California have had to close. Hospitals have to take anyone in need of medical care. The illegals can't pay, so the hospital closes its doors.
