Why dont Americans educate themselves?

Question

I don't understand all the stupid statments about illegal immigration. Don't you think that if they could come here legally they would? Why dont you go educate yourselves about the whole immigration process before you start saying that all immigrants must come here legally. Do you know that in order for a Mexican citizen to come to the United States LEGALLY they must have money in bank accounts, savings accounts and own land, or some type of business to even be considered to apply for a visa/passport. But yet the vast majority only make on average $20.00 a week. Yet, land and food and just about everything else cost just a little less than what it does here. How are they supposed to save money if they cant even buy groceries? And yet Americans just go get their passport so they can travel to Mexico, no questions asked. What's up w/ that???!!!!

Answer 1

Because most of them have never had a war on their soil, never gone hungry, never went without shoes. It is far easier to point the finger at someone than to look in the mirror and say "I should have stayed in school, I should have studied harder in school, I should have gone to college and then maybe I wouldn't be worried about an illegal person that doesn't speak English taking my job"

Answer 2

That's not the US fault , that's their country's fault . They will never change their country if they don't stay and get involve in the change . I see illegals as lazy and won't put in the hard work and effort it takes for changing things for themselves in their own country .
After all it's easier to go to another country , that offers jobs , they learn very quickly to take advantage of the US system and with Corporations , Church's , our Government and some of our misguided citizens .
Do you actually believe that we need them here . We need to put our American people to work first .
Don't give me that crap about jobs that Americans won't do , that is the same mentality that Mexico uses for their immigration .
Now let's be truthful , illegals come here to make money , to send home or till they go home and live well .
The American taxpayer is subsidizing Mexico in the amount of over $ 20 million a year .
The sad part is how gullible the American people are to believe the propaganda that Corporations and our Government spoon feed us about immigration . They help themselves make money , not the US Citizens
I haven't even covered the drugs , disease and crime that is brought into this country with illegals .
No , our America is not for sale or better off with illegals here and never will be .

Umm.. Are you serious? Do you have eyes? And if so, do you open them frequently?

Millions upon millions of people came here legally and worked their butts off. You people need to do the same. My grandparents came here with nothing and made something of themself. They didn't get a handout, and they didn't eat up the countries resources and money like your races seems to enjoy doing. Mexicans as a whole breed. They start having babies at 15/16 and don't stop until their 40s. I'm not saying having a lot of children is bad, because it isn't. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO SUPPORT THEM! The mindset of a typical mexican girl is "I get more money each welfare check the more children I have... HMMMM...? I wonder how many I can possibly pop out before my uterus explodes."

When our country is in battle, as it is now, how many mexican men do you see enlisting in the army? How many mexicans try and do CRAP for the country they're running down? Basically, none. That's what your race does, live off the people who were there first, until it's not so great anymore... But no, you're moving north... Because you've managed to turn ALL of Southern California (And most every southern state.) into a crap hole. Canada better watch out. Start putting up the electric fence now that you still have the time.

Exactly what someone said up there: If you can't afford to live in a mansion, that doesn't give you the right to go knock down someone's door and steal their house.

Don't be ungrateful. Your family was one of those who made it past the river. Get over yourself.

If it were up to me... There would be armed gunmen standing at every possible entrance from mexico to the US. And they'd be shooting down anyone who even so much as attempted to set foot on this soil illegally.

Answer 4

You think we don't know how expensive and difficult the immigration process is? It is tough for a reason. There is no country in the world that wants to absorb the poor uneducated people of another country. We have our own poor people to support. We want new immigrants that can be an asset to, not a drain on our economy.

Since you are using Mexicans as an example, the illegal aliens from Mexico are a non-skilled, uneducated, and desperate labor force. We want the educated and skilled people of Mexico who can, and have been able to afford the immigration process of relocating to the USA.

Illegal aliens are not supposed to be in the USA making $20 a week, or buying groceries. They are supposed to be in their countries of origin. We don't want illegal alien peasants here, our immigration process is designed to keep the criminals, the diseased, and the peasants out of our country.

Answer 5

Educate this it's our law if you can't meet the requirements that is not our problem. There is a difference between travel and working and living somewhere. We go to Mexico legally you come here illegally see the difference.Do you think all Americans are just rolling in money with big fat bank accounts? We'll let me educate you were not, saving can be a hard thing to do you have to give up somethings in order to get what you want.

Answer 6

well, if you think about it. I assume you are a tax payer, and those FICA taxes you pay, do you know where they go? To food stamps, Social Security and Medicaid. When mexican illegals come across the border, they have children so that their children are now legal citizens and have access to those FICA taxes you pay. Also, they take jobs away from american citizens and reduce the wages unions have fought hard to standardize by doing work at cheaper prices.

Is it my problem they do not own land? No
Is it my problem they do not have bank accounts? NO
is it my problem where social security is headed and where my money goes? ABSOLUTELY

educate yourself sweetheart - being liberal isnt about nice pretty bunnies and world peace

and I consider myself liberal, and I hate bush too

Answer 7

You are a perfect example of a Mexican who has NO RESPECT for the laws of our country.

Why the heck should Mexicans be allowed to sneak into this country when BILLIONS of other people around the world want to come here? What makes Mexicans so special?

Everyday I see Mexicans who have no respect for our laws. Local grocery stores run out of hand carts because Mexicans steal them. Mexicans play music loudly all the time because they don't care about noise laws. They steal identities in order to profit for them. Criminal gangs are spreading like cancer in this country.

Let me ask you this.... Are there ANY American laws that you respect? The answer is no because you are soooooo proud to be Mexican yet you live in the USA.

Your question is "why don't Americans educate themselves." Are you aware that Mexican Americans have the highest dropout rate of any race? Why don't MEXICANS educate themselves? Why don't MEXICANS educate themselves to learn English instead of expecting Americans to learn their language?

People like you disgust me. You should be ashamed yourself but you never will be because you have no shame.

Answer 8

It'd be hard for me to afford to live in a mansion. That does give me the right to break into someone else's mansion and start living there. If they don't have the means to come here legally, then they should stay where they are.

Answer 9

You Mexicans are no better than people from any other country who wants to come to the U.S. to live. They have to apply for Visa's and follow the guidelines, so how come you are so much better than them?
Why do you think we want you here anyway, if you can't pay your way? You shouldn't expect the hard working people here to provide for you. We can't help the whole world.

Answer 10

Incidentally, once an alien has lawful status in the United States, he will NO LONGER be desirable to unscrupulous employers who hire illegal aliens. They hire illegal aliens because they know that they can get away with paying them substandard wages under substandard and often illegally hazardous circumstances. Once an alien has lawful authority to live and work in the United States and demands fair pay and conditions, the employer will most likely replace him or her with a new illegal alien.

Answer 11

that's a crock of ****. I work with lots of Hispanics and they all got in legally. You see this is how they do it the legal way: One person in the family comes here legally and works. Usually they work 2 jobs and send whatever money they don't need to live to their family's and they always keep sending the money to Mexico. So that way they raise the money for their family members to come here LEGALLY. I dont feel that anyone needs to come here illegal But really everyone can stop bitching and moaning about it because this is a never ending battle. there will never be a solution
