Mexicans take to the streets when they're upset about our laws, why don't the American people do the same?

Question

People, I know we have marched in the past about civil rights, vietnam, etc.; I'm talking about against the proposal presented yesterday.

Answer 1

Perhaps the temptation to do violence to the illegals is too strong to overcome and were smart enough to know that they will push for violence, so that they can say how abusive our laws and legal population are.

Besides the fact that most of us have good paying jobs that we like and taking a day of vacation time for a protest against illegals isn't worth it.

Our government needs to enforce the laws that are in place, refuse amnesty to illegals in any form, cut off funding of any social programs for illegals, cut off medical care for illegals, and secure our border utilizing any and all means necessary including a fence, land mines, and armed border patrol with a good aim and a score to settle.

Answer 2

Traditionally, because we can vote.

However, when our votes are ignored, we have to rethink things.

March for America June 16 in DC and in the state capitals.

Answer 3

Consider how many people were in the streets during the Vietnam era, civil rights movements, and so on throughout American history. The short answer is that Americans have, do and will continue.

Answer 4

Americans will on June 13 & 14th - the March for America

Answer 5

Believe it or not, I have to WORK.

I am not on any gov. programs that help to pay for food, my medical needs, or my housing. I can't afford to take off to protest.

I wished that there was something closer to where I live that I could go to when I got off from work - because I would indeed protest.

Many think because people are not in the streets that such means that they don't care or agree with the madness within gov. today. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Answer 6

Because you are a citizen. If you take to the streets like they do the cops would beat you down and arrest you.
It is a sad day for America when hundreds of illegal aliens in violation of America's sovereignty laws can take to the streets and demand America accommodate them.
The only thing the LA cops did wrong was using rubber bullets instead of real ones.

Answer 7

Kind of like why an adult doesn't lay kicking and screaming in the middle of the isle at the store like a 2 yr old coz we can't have what we want. We have more mature options.

Alot of the American people are working as well.

Doesn't mean we won't throw a tantrum before it's all over but we try the rational, adult methods first.

Answer 8

Millions of those who don't march are mexicans made legal by the previous "amnesty" reform,which was caused by the lobbyists who represent farmers of all the vegetables that have rewarded us with e-coli infected food, cotton growers,etc etc...The same lobbies are obviously lining the coffers of our elected officials once again to achieve another amnesty reform...IT IS AMAZING THAT OUR GOVERNMENT ONCE AGAIN IGNORES DEMANDING THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN STOPPING THE FLOW OF ILLEGALS!!!to TOP IT OFF THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS APPEAR TO BE MORE INTERESTED IN CELL FONES ETC...

Answer 9

Sometimes they do. Million man march. Million mom march. Where have you been the past five years with all the war protesters? Watch the news or read a history book.

Answer 10

I don't know, but if I am ever in Mexico and get upset about their laws I will take to their streets and let you know how that goes. If that did happen and you didn't hear from me than things didn't go as planned.
