Do you consider illegal Mexicans as traitors to their own country or to ours?

Question

They run away in the face of trouble with their own nation, then come here and steal our social services.

Answer 1

I consider them hard working people that came here to make a better life. NOW THEY CAN GO HOME!!!!!!

Answer 2

Careful, Virtually every person who came here from another country can be accused of the same thing right back to the conquistadors and Pilgrims. Illegal Mexicans are victims of the Coyotes who lure them over here under false pretenses, of the employers who want to avoid paying minimum wage, federal taxes and health insurance, and of their own government who's only unemployment insurance seems to involve sending them across a desert to work in our country so they can send money back home to feed their family. The traitors are the ones who are luring them over here in order to avoid paying a living wage to American citizens in our new "service Economy!" The traitors are the politicians who refuse to come up with a way to allow these individuals to work legally because their constituents make more money under the table. The traitors are the ones who refuse to close the loopholes so our Border patrol agents can focus on terrorism instead of crony-ism.

Answer 3

Neither. They're doing what they need to as human beings. Because they're ambitious enough to make the trip and work like slaves when they're here, we are the beneficiaries. It is true that by coming here they're effectively giving up on their own nation, and in sending money home they're shoring up its corrupt economy, but that's the way things are right now. They're certainly not causing us any difficulty, and they're performing an extra service by consuming the passions of right-wing nutcases who might otherwise be off bombing another Federal building.

Answer 4

Why does it matter. Whose Country? From what I see, in t his country democracy is only in the hands of the rich. So it doesn't matter what we think.

Wasn't that proof to all of us this week? It doesn't matter what is right or wrong for most Americans in this country. It only matters what is right for the rich. There is a Democracy, maybe but it isn't down here where most of us are. So it doesn't really matter none of us seem to have a real country.

I might just be upset right now. But I don't feel that any of us have a country. Unless we are needed to fight for it. Then it belongs to everyone.\

Messiah? i would settle for a honest person who would help all of us. Immigrants, legal or illegal are just wanting what we all want a country that will .do right by them,

Answer 5

The cannot commit treason against the U.S, as they are not citizens.
Nor are they betraying Mexico. To flee a country to another is only treasonous if a state of enimity exists between the two counties.
They have commited a crime, but are not traitors.

Answer 6

They certainly aren't traitors to Mexico. Mexico pretty openly encourages emigration to the US, legal or otherwise, because it's good for them - it prevents unemployment there, which is already high, from reaching disastrous levels, and people sending money to their families from the USA is a major element of their national income.

In the US, they are lawbreakers but calling them traitors is exaggerated. The crime of treason is pretty clearly defined and nothing ordinary illegals do approaches it.

Answer 7

Neither one, and even if they did try and steal social services they would be way back in the line after US citizens with their two and three welfare babies.

Answer 8

first of all what is with mexicans , what about people from other countries , or are you just been racist with mexicans and the rest of the world can do as they wish , come here illegaly , GET A GRIP, NO MORE RACISM WILL BE TOLERATED, ENOUGH IS TO MUCH, THINGS WILL BE DIFERENT AFTER AMNESTY LAW HAS BEEN PASED,

Answer 9

No they are NEITHER.

They are either REFUGEES or they are enemy operatives. Allow me to explain.

The latter are Mexican patriots that come here to use our system to send money back to the homeland.

This HURTS America and these people should be views as international criminals.

Answer 10

DO YOU IDIOTS THINK IT WOULD BE EASY TO NOT ONLY DEFEAT OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS BUT ALSO YOURS!!!!! I'm getting sick and tired of you people who think it would be so easy to "fix" our problems. You are a big part of it. You fund our corrupt governments. Our puppet democracies. Our drug cartels. Mexicans don't want Mexican drugs, AMERICANS do!!! I'm getting so damn tired of movies that portray Mexicans as something lower, as if we were all drug dealers. Read up on the history of your imperialist country.
