I figure that if Mexicans can do it here, why can't we do it there? I say we get a million US citizens together then head down to Mexico City and march through the streets demanding the right to live and work freely in Mexico. All of our signs will be in English (despite the fact that Mexicans speak Spanish and so won't understand them) and we will wave US flags. The point is to show the hypocrisy of it all: while the Mexican government wants the US government to bend over backwards for Mexicans in the US, Mexican immigration law is very strict. It is almost impossible to get a job working in Mexico unless it's something like an English teacher. Mexican police on the southern border with Guatemala treat illegal Guatemalan immigrants a lot worse than the American police treat their illegals. Non-Mexican citizens in Mexico can be deported instantly for making any political statement at all, no matter how small. In other words, Mexico needs to evaluate itself before yelling at us.

By the way, no comments about me being a racist. The only thing I am arguing against is the hyprocrisy on the part of Mexico and its government. I have no problem with Mexicans coming to the US as long as they get a job, learn English, aren't a member of a gang, and pay their taxes. I believe that US immigration law needs to be fixed so that more people can come legally rather than having to come illegally. Some people might find that crazy, but not so: if we make it legal, then we have to pay immigrant workers minimum wage, and immigrants therefore lose their advantage. Also, if they come legally, they will pay taxes. It's called using the economy to fix itself.

The Mexican government would probably not allow it; how's that for hypocricy?

How true! I would love to part in a march to show the American government how we feel. Doing it in Mexico however may not be the brightest of Ideas. I do not think we would be received very well. Not only that, but how we will be reacted too. Would probably be a thousand time worse then we have ever reacted to any protest by illegals in America. Remember we are talking about one of the most corrupted governments in the world. Which parts of Mexico are virtually controlled by the Drug cartels instead of the government. Not to mention the police agencies in Mexico are just as bad. I feel the people in Mexico need to take their own country back. Are cowards for letting their own nation get as bad as it has. Then abandoning it! Mexican people do need to re-evaluate their government, police agencies and so on. I feel its so bad the Mexican people may need to revolt either by pen or force of arms if they ever hope to save their own nation. Instead they flee, and try to start little Mexico in the US. If our ancestors had done the same(Flee/abandon), there would be not America.
Peace!!! Love!!! Long live this Great Federal Republic of these United States. All those who dwell with in her(legally). All those who serve her!

Everything that you said is true. Since our government and our politicians are not doing anything to control the growth of illegal mexicans entering our country, we should make it difficult for illegal mexicans to live here comfortably. What we can do is 1. if you hold a management position, do not hire them 2. if you get a phone call and the caller only speaks spanish, hang up and not say a word 3. if you are a landlord do not rent to "them". 4. simply ignore them and pretend they don't exist.

I think it's a really different situation. Most people come to the U.S because it will give them a better life. If Mexico gave a better life than the U.S I'm sure a lot of people would immigrate there. And in america there is freedom of speech so you can talk in the language you'd like, I only see people make a big deal about Spanish speaking people. If Spanish people need to not speak spanish then so do the other nationalities, I live in NY and everywhere you turn theres different people speaking different languages. And your ancestors were immigrants too I'm sure. The only way your 100% American is if you are 100% Native American and thats really hard to fine... I'm not saying your racist but I'm saying just cut them some slack, there not doing anything to you, there just trying to live a better life... And yea if they could come here legally it would make it a lot easier

I'll join your march as long as I can fly the Mexican flag up-side-down beneath the flag of the United States.
Maybe the imature students will get the message.

The problem is that in Mexico, those damn cops will shoot you, cut dogs loose on you , maybe even kill you and bury in the desert, that country is so corrupt and infected that they can do all this and get away with it, and us, we have rights and morals and have to treat the illegals properly,,,,we are civilized and they will never be,,,

We'd all probably get shot and drug through the streets. I would participate in a march here in America though, demanding the same free services that illegals are getting.... although would I get shot and drug through the streets? We're the minority...

I think we should just voice our opinions again to our senators and congress about enforcing our existing immigration laws, eventually deporting, and building a wall and then call it a day.
