I do not understand the bigotry against Mexicans either. I frequently eat a restaurant owned by someone from Mexico who came here legally and they seem very grateful to their customers and they provide a wonderful service, but some people attack them in this general anti-Mexican rampage we are seeing.
We should not be judging anyone on their ethnic origin, but on the merit of their work and how they contribute to society as a whole.

Cancun isn't in all probability Mexican, culturally and traditionally. many human beings down there interior the Yucatan Peninsula evaluate Mexico a diverse united states, it relatively is somewhat real. Many Locals do no longer even become responsive to as Mexican.

wow, I actually liked some of the answers here, I'm glad to see that not all of the people here hate Mexican, and if you pay attention to the videos, there's white, black and other races people waving the Mexican flag, not just Mexican and not all of them are illegal, and for those ignorants, Mexican are not the only ones that speak Spanish.

There is no hatred against Mexicans.. only Illegal immigrants.. the reason Mexicans are more talked about when speaking of illegal immigration.. because they are the most numerous.. something like 80% of all illegals are from Mexico.

I agree with you and with "Ryan"
I think it comes down to people's ignorance when they talk about illegal immigration, that leads to talking about illegal Mexicans, then that leads to talking about their hate towards Mexicans and they don't even know it.

If you want to say they are good hard working people, I would have to say that is a generalization and therefore it is wrong. There is good and bad in every group. The reason Mexicans get picked on is that is is their country not only letting illegals in through their border with us but they are also encouraging it.

Over 10 million Mexicans live in the USA (according to Mexico).
Mexico encourages and assists the illegal aliens to break the laws of the USA.
Mexico is a corrupt country where US Tourist are routinely "shaken down."
Mexico continually tries to interfer with the INTERNAL workings of the US government.
No other country acts that way to the USA (it's greatest benefactor).
It is like a spoiled child that takes favors from a parent, but then does hateful things to the parent.
Do you see now?
And no, they are NOT good hard working people, they are criminals who break US laws.

why does everyone say "they are hard working" do they work any harder than anyone else?
further isn't that the reason they came here; to work?
I think there is a back lash because they unlike other illegals have such attitudes.... actually DEMANDing the US bend it's laws to accommodate them, to allow them to stay here.
all the while protesting via a interpreter because they haven't bothered to learn the language of their adopted country.
there is also a backlash amongst those who live in areas that have become overwhelming Mexican.
many do not seek to become "Americans" but rather remain Mexican and duplicate the barrio here.
There is a high school in Chicago that now has two shifts because so many Mexicans have moved into the area.
Americans are not used to living in crowded third world conditions and resent their neighborhoods and schools becoming so.
The fact that folks have the temerity to wave another country's flag while doing so just adds insult to injury!
Mexicans are the most numerous of the illegals with a "tude"

Because their bastards and racist people with no good in them, and have no sympathy for those poor people. And because society tells other ethnic groups to go with the flow and have hatred towards them two, like the media in movies, TV shows, and in the news, so that's what I think.

It's all media perception.... it's easier and more dramatic to show 10 Mexicans making a dash over the border than to show a person from Fiji who has overstayed their tourist visa for 10 years.
We are a nation of immigrants. It used to be the Irish, the Italians, the 'Boat People' in the 70s that were all going to destroy our country because of mass immigration.
Fact is...If someone is savvy enough motivated enough to enter this country under great hardship just to find work they and their families tend to do well and contribute to our country
