I was watching a bogus documentary a couple of weeks ago where this reporter went around interviewing mexicans and asking them if they were up to date on the immigrant problem they faced (referring to people migrating INTO Mexico) and asking what they thought of it. I was surprised and a bit remorseful at the fact that more than half of t/people interviewed said that it 'wasn't right' for t/immigrants to do this seeing as mexicans had enough problems of their own and that they didn't need anymore people causing chaos in their country. WTH? do they not realize that it's a bit hypocritical of them to say, when most of t/immigrant population coming into the US are from Mexico and surrounding countries?!
See, I am neither for or against t/whole immigration thing, but I say that if they (referring to t/Mexicans in this particular case) want to have equal rights and opportunities in t/US, couldn't they at least try and accept others who are dealing with t/same issues over in Mexico?

Actually, the illegal immigration problem Mexico faces is people going /through/ Mexico to get the US. Once there, they would compete with Mexicans for jobs ("that Americans won't do," natch). That'd be a bad thing, because remitances from Mexican nationals working in the US help keep the Mexican economy afloat. Thus, the 'problem.' The solution, BTW, is positively brutal enforcement.

Easily answered. Ever hear of the Mexican Dream? Yeah, me neither. Bottom line, they want money to be us, and they do not care how they accomplish that trick.

Go-Go girls sounds just like a admin lover! Man this country was built for immigrants and by immigrants. "Give us your poor and hungry" or however it was said..that held a lot of weight back then. Now you have the government making it a issue and the media shoving it down our throats 24-7 and the people eat it up as fact. I know this wasn't a problem before 911 and I also know that it's only a problem to most people because someone made it a point to point it out to people. No one deemed this a mess until the news and your voted officials started to say so. Think for yourselves people and know that the same way they are rounding up immigrants...is the same way they will round you up if you don't start thinking for yourself!

The BIG difference is that these people came here legally. I don't give a rats *** how bad it is in Mexico or any other foreign country for that matter. If they want to be in America we need to know who they are and where they are.

I think that anyone thinking of entering the US (illegally) should look at their homeland and all of it's problems, then they should stay there and fight for reform and make it a better place!!!

regardless of what mexican citizens may say or think, any foreigner in the USA should be treated humanely and respectfully.
