Do not tell me that I am wrong. This is what I learned in school before I had to drop out and get a job.

Yeah well you know what. Nobody gives a crap. I don't care that Mexicans helped build America. They are bringing drugs to the US, it's ILLEGAL, and they are hurting America. I know that there are good Mexicans and bad Mexicans. Just like White people. I have a lot of friends that are Mexican, but I'm still against Illegal immigrants. No matter how much information you give, you will never convince a lot of people that Illegal immigration is ok.
As I see it, all of you people that are with this guy are racist. You are being racist against all other races other than the Hispanic race. Why? Because you are saying that Mexicans are superior to all other races. "Well, Mexicans helped build the US. We're better than the White people. They're all dogs". You're all wrong. There is no superior race. We are all equal in God's eyes.

They did all that by themselves? RIGHT! Dude no one I know denies Mexican involvement in the building of Americas infrastructure. I'm really not sure the point of your question if it has anything to do with illegal aliens, I'm sure the percentage that did stay behind during WW II worked in factories just like many other nationalities, and during the westward expansion.....same thing. So I have to ask you this, whats your point?
Before you "droped out", yeah that explains it. No your not a liar just EXTREMELY misinformed. Was the school in Mexico by chance?

The Chinese built the railroads in California back in the 1800s. Take a history class.

All immigrants helped build this country as those were the jobs that paid the least and immigrants have always been cheap and plentiful sources of labor. African slaves can't truly be called immigrants as they had not choice in the matter, but they also helped build this country. And they did so without any pay, salary or benefits. Women were "at home" while the boys were at war in WWI and WWII and worked all the jobs previously held by men AND raised their families at the same time.
So, what's your point?

Yes they did help to build the U.S., but so did many races. We are a melting pot after all.
Mexicans did not do all the work during WWI &WWII, women did a lot of work. So did blacks.
Mexicans did not help us become free as much as you let on. They may have even fought on both sides. It was the Native Americans that really helped us out. Canada was also nice enough to take in a lot of blacks.
I am sorry, but you don't deserve as much credit as you may think.

Are you saying these things are more important than the actual wars ? They remained here in part they were not allowed to join the Military. Railroads is just one example where is the other ? Women stayed here and worked in factories.

Actually, Chinese and Blacks built the railroads. Women and men not in service did the work during WW1 and WW2. So....?
Not that I have any problems with Mexicans or anyone else for that matter, but you have your facts wrong.

Many different cultures helped build America and Canada. Were you a major contributor,then take a bow. If not shut up and appreciate the world that others built!

You need better examples.
1) It was Chinese/European labor that built the railroads
2) Saying out that Mexican immigrants wouldn't fight to defend their country, when everybody else did, is accomplishing what for you?
