Why do we blame the Mexicans.?

Question

Why do so many people bash the Mexican immigrants for coming to this country and working and taking benefits etc. Who fault is that really? I really think that if people would stop hiring them a we actually started enforcing the immigration laws in the first place we wouldn't be so screwed up. We should be blaming the company's that hire them, and who hands out those welfare checks anyways? Not the Mexicans. There not to blame your fellow American's are.

By the way this isn't a BUSH thing okay. I'd like to ask most of you where were your ancestors born. I'm sure they all came here for a better future as well. Again I ask who's at fault here?

Osbaldo, do you really want them to take back the land? Why? Because we all have seen what a wonderful job they are doing with their land!! Give me a break, they don’t want the dam land they want the American governmental dream, other wise they’d never leave Mexico with all it wonders. They come here collect their welfare and take it home, because their government isn’t lifting a dam finger to take care of them.

It is so funny to see the ignorance that people compare this situation to a BANK ROBBERY Or not seeing companies run through their land but seeing the immigrants! No wonder this country is so screwed up with people so dam ignorant! I am still trying to understand why people are HARPING OVER BEING ILLIGAL!

The word means NOTHING! If the law is not being enforced!

I don’t blame the Mexicans as much as I blame our own spoiled greedy tight @$$ American’s.
If you stop hiring them, if we stop giving them aid…they will have nothing to ILLEGALLY COME HERE FOR!

Answer 1

The fault lies on three parties.

Mexicans come here illegally and take advantage of our system. They are sucking us dry. They make money here and send it home. They don't pay taxes when the get paid and they don't spend all the money they make, so we get no tax on that either. Yet they get all the benefits that the tax payers have a hard time getting.

The government needs to stop giving them rights that belong to American Citizens.

Business owners need to stop employing them. If they cant get jobs they won't come here.

It is a circle that probably cant be stopped.

Answer 2

I agree with you.....I live in El Paso, Texas, and illegal immigration is a major problem down here. Being right across the border, many mexicns cross over daily. Although most cross back over, some stay over and get jobs. Some might argue that they are taking jobs away from more qualified people, but they are not the ones to blame. All of the store owners etc... hire the mexicans because they will work for under minimum wage. Those people should be slapped across the face..

Answer 3

This is true, and as long as the gvmt. & big corporations reep the benefits illegal immigrants will continue to pour in. The middle class America isn't ready to pay hefty prices for everyday products, but they r the first to point fingers & bash anyone other than themselves-and in this case its the illegals because they are defenseless. Illegal immigrants have become the scapegoats for everything wrong in this country from education, economy(?ironic) & crime, somehow ppl think all these things are done by illegals. what they fail to understand is that many of these ppl r the ones who build their homes, pave their streets & pick their fruits. but since so many Americans r so undereducated about their own coutnry & its policies well its just easier to point a finger than to read a book.

Answer 4

I understand your point and agree with you about 95% of the way... we should blame the businesses that give them work more. If there were no jobs for them, they wouldn't come.

But the 5% of where I disagree with you concerns the fact it is a conscious choice to become a criminal when you KNOW you are doing something that breaks the laws. Also once they get here, many of them use American citizen's REAL social security numbers to work. That is identity theft and is causing a lot of Americans enormous problems.

There is no excuse for that behavior whatsoever.

Answer 5

Nobody is bashing the "Mexican immigrants". They are bashing ILLEGAL ALIENS. PERIOD.
Yes they employes are to blame for hiring them, if they know about it, but that doesn't let illegal aliens off the hook. Many use fake or stolen IDs which make it difficult for employers to know who's legal and who's not. Others work under the table paying no taxes at all.
1. Secure the borders
2. Don't hire illegal aliens, rent or sell housing to them, or allow them any benefits legal residents of the U.S. have.
3. Deport those that are left.

Answer 6

But why do they chose to come here illegally, when we have a legal way. Yes, those that hire them are wrong, but those coming here illegally are just as wrong. Yes our immigration laws should be enforced, but in the same, they the illegal aliens know all to well that, what they are doing is wrong. Kind of like I know that a bank has money, but I also know that stealing it is wrong. Wal mart has food and clothing, but I also know that they have shoplifting laws. I might know that the guy next door has food and a tv to watch, but I also know that I can not just go next door and help myself to it.

Answer 7

REALLY?

You think the blame lies squarely on employeers who hire them...not the ones who broke the law to get here?

HOW ABUSURD!!!!!

If you break the law to get here, and/or you stay here past your legal amount of time. YOU ARE A CRIMINAL!!! That is the end of that story...Let me reiterate

BREAK THE LAW = CRIMINAL.

It is against the law to come into this counrty without documentation, work visa or other appropriate paperwork.

BREAK THE LAW = CRIMINAL

I agree, we should fine companies who hire ILLEGAL ALIENS 10K per person, per incident for hiring them...but the company did not go to mexico, find a person and drag them over the border. They sure don't go down to mexico from anywhere and do recruiting! As far as the businesses go

BREAK THE LAW = CRIMINAL

Why would you try to shift the blame like that? They are BOTH WRONG!

BREAK THE LAW = CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

No matter who else is breaking the law, the ILLEGAL aliens who come here are also breaking the law.

Just because someone is tempted to break the law doesn't mean that he can be excused from breaking the law.

This would be like blaming a 14-year-old girl who dresses provocatively, gets drunk, and parties with 20-something college frat boys, for the fact that statutory rape occurs.

Just because there's consent between parties engaged in an illegal act, doesn't mean that the law can be ignored.

Answer 9

Its all mest up, and very unfair if your good person you can't immigrate, you will die of old age first,- if you come illegal you are called a law breaker,- if you pay a for legal help they will bank rupt you,-I'm American never took any (well fair) don't want it, i have Mexican wife been married 6 years, she lives in Mexico city, i live in USA, have the approved documents from immigration, but that's all i get, they wait you out until your marriage is ruined and you give up, that's the facts of it that the TV news never tells, that's the very reason people come illegal, what more can i say, put INS in jail for the lies they tell America.

Answer 10

They are both to blame. Mexicans are showing no respect for our sovereignty, and the businesses that hire them are even worse because it's really a form of treason not to mention unethical business practices. The pay slave wages and get around paying taxes for social security, etc. The companies are NOT doing any of this out of compassion.
