Seriously guys, why are you so racist against Mexicans? Mexicans come here to try and raise their family...and people judge them because they come here "illegally"..so what..they aren't doing you any harm..the only thing they are doing is, doing the jobs us americans don't want to do...why don't you stop and get to know some of them?

It is not a matter of knowing them or even Americans that are against them. We are not against them, we just believe they should stay in their own country. Whether they are doing harm or not is a researchable topic, however, that is not one of the immigration laws. Getting to know them is not a part of the laws that keep our country sound and there is a reason for them. Just because you got friendly with them and the excuses you give for them to stay is weak. There is no racism involved. This country was not designed for immigrants to come and raise their families illegally. If that were allowed there would be flyiers sent to all countries for the family development services we provide which are currently none. We do not even promote raising our own families as the divorce industry is too large. It is people like you that would take from someone that has and tell them, well, you have five of these and I only took one, you still have 4. How asenine and stupid a rationale can be. It is sociopaths like you that think that they have a right here just because they have families and work cheaply is reason enough to just say, oh well, in that case yes, come into my country in that case and pardon us for asking. You should be a politician like Diane Fienstein, she exudes the same type of bs philosophy in her march against guns which is unconstitutional, yet she has a concealed weapons permit and carries a handgun regularly. Wanna give our country away then go to their country and spread your legs and wrap a flag across your face. Glory at its finest and maybe they would enjoy 'A Piece' of the good ole USA. That would make you a foriegn diplomat and a road to the incredibly stupid rationalizations of politicians. Maybe a career change.

Jobs Americans won't? Are you serious? There is NO job that an American wouldn't do for a decent wage.
The illegals do, however, leach more from the taxpayers than they contribute. Each Illegal family costs the taxpayers something 35 or $40,000, while contributing NADA. Our hospitals are closing at an alarming rate due to the fact that they use our emergency rooms for everything from the common cold to minor aches and pains.
Nobody hates Mexicans, per se, I certainly don't. In fact I've met some pretty cool people south of the border while working the northern side.
Being against illegal activity is not being "racist", get over it and stop playing the very played out race card. People are sick and tired of people sneaking into our country and demanding Rights they have no justification demanding. THEY'RE ILLEGAL!

I am American. I love Mexicans. My mom is one. I know alot of them. Born in Zacatecas. My mom by the way is a US citizen and so is my Ecuadorian father. The ones you see complaing are against illegal immigration. Floods of people just show up in this coutry with their hands out claiming to just want to work when what they are really doing is draining the economy. These peoples criminal background are not being checked. They have babies here so the US does not deport them. Then they apply for WIC and food stamps and medicaide and Chip. Tax money is spend trying to teach them English ALOT of money. Tax money is spent keeping them locked up. People like me are fed up with the low pay that these illegals are rushing to take. That's why the minimum wage sucks. I lived in neighborhoods filled with illegals c'mon you know they are not all sweet and hardworking. You don't want me to go on and on about that.

I don't hate Mexicans. Illegal immigration does hurt us. Free medical care to non tax payers has destroyed many areas. I am all for legal immigration. These people should have enough respect for our country to come here in a legal way. We need to know who is entering our country. I know that illegal immigrants do take jobs. There are many farms in this area and I know that teens can not get jobs on those farms because of immigrants. Let me put it to you this way, go illegally into Mexico and see what happens to you. Go there legally and try to buy land or work. After you do these things, then come back and tell us all how bad America is when it comes to immigration legal or otherwise and how the Mexicans are such racists.

Well, we aren't against Mexicans. We are against illegal aliens period. What do you mean they aren't hurting anyone? Maybe not intentionally. But they don't pay taxes for things they use everyday, like the school systems and roads and wellfare, and all the other things taxes go to. They are draining our school systems. If 3/4 of the kids going to a school have parents that are illegals, then that means 3/4 of the kid's parents aren't paying taxes to help the school system. NOt to mention taxpayers pay for these kids to go to school and half will drop out before they graduate, which is a waste of money. Same thing with the hospitals. They can't deny anybody when it comes to emergencies like birth. Then they can't find the parents after they leave the hospital and this has to be paid somehow. Which is causing hospitals to go out of business. Plus these illegals are guaranteed a wellfare check for every kids they consume, which is coming out of the taxpayers pockets. Not to mention that 25% of the US prison population are illegals. The taxpayers are paying for that as well. It's not that we have anything against mexicans, as long as they come here legally and pay taxes to help contribute to the economy.

Racist? No. My wife is Brazilian She has friends from Mexico, Honduras, Dominican Republic, and Brazil all are very nice people and close friends. All followed the rules and came here legally
The problem is when any group of people are entering the country illegally. They are breaking several laws just to stay and work here and employers are able to ignore normal labor laws since the illegals have no recourse. We also have know idea if they are murders fleeing charges in their country. They jumped the line and did not pay their fee to get in.
I the government going to return the fees the legal aliens paid for visas?

Quite a few of the jobs Americans don't want - construction, butcher, etc. used to pay well enough to support a family on -until employers slashed wages and hired illegals.
Maybe that's why...

I know a lot of Mexicans and I don't have a problem with them. I do however have a problem with how some of them choose to come here. We are supposed to be a country with laws and how the hell can we uphold them if we are forced to make ammends to appease everyone with their own agenda? Entering this country illegaly by anyone is well ILLEGAL and should not be tolerated by anyone and we should fix our laws to prosecute those who have done this. Your ancestors came here and I would guess they did it the right way why should we allow someone else to bypass our laws. As soon as you understand the issue than address it don't call everyone racist because they don't want to be overrun by lawbreaking people in the name of a better life
