I am half mexican, my grandmother came to this country a long time ago. If it wasnt for my grandmother coming to America I wouldnt be here right now. What is wrong with wanting freedom? What is wrong with wanting fair wage for labor? When white people from other countries come here for what ever reason nobody really cares but if its a mexican all hell breaks loose!! what is wrong with you people? all of your focus is on people who jumped a damn border when we are involved in an illegal war! get your heads out of your asses and look at whats really important at this time. focus on your insecurities with other races another time when we dont have a president who wants to be a dictator!!!

I have no problem with Mexicans in general. I do however have a problem with people in this country burning our flag and waving around the flag of a different country. I'd say that most of the foreign flags I see being waved around are of Mexico. I don't think there would be as much dislike of illegal immigration if those people came here and learned English. How can we not be upset when we read about organizations such as Aztlan and Mecha preaching about them taking over our states? States which by the way, were acquired in a war and paid for. There is so much bad sentiment. One thing is to be in this country and live peacefully, another is to threaten to take over.

I am half Polish Jew and half Ukrainian. My grand parents where fleeing the mother land because if they didn't they would of been killed. They had to go through Ellis island learn the new langauge. But they did it, even though it was a rough going for the first 10 years.
The reason people don't like it is when the illegals come over, they end up working for someone that takes advantage of them and pays them under the table, with no benefits than the illegal gets sick and has to go to the hospital and gets a free ride, meanwhile those that are legal end up having to pay the bill.
Nothing is wrong with wanting freedom, but at least have the common decency to follow the laws of the land and come here legally.

Not every Mexican is illegal. Many of them are chosing to respect the country they desire to live in and come here legally.
Also, not everyone who is illegal has commited a crime. They all did not just cross the border. Some of them are expired and some of them are recently of age adults who were dragged here by their parents as children. You can be on a temporary illegal basis while forms and documents are being waited on and processed.
AND you are wrong, white people, black people, brown people is not the issue. Illegals are the issue that everyone is against.

Wow.. I have no insecurities about other races... I just want all illegals out of my country.. there is nothing wrong with wanting a better life, however that is why most people come here, and why we have more immigrants in our country than in any other country... but there is a difference there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.. and yes it is an importantt issue.. because it is our safety and security.. no country has ever survived with weak or no borders.. so it is an importan issue.. sounds to me though that you have insecurities about your own race... you sound a little bit paranoid, I hope one day you can get over it

You are missing the key issue.Illegal Immigrants are all people from all countries from all races not just Mexicans.....Everyone would love to have freedom and the ability to do as they please per se, however you have to come here legally just the same as any other countries immigration laws.....................
If you are unhappy with a politicians decisions then use your right to vote....It is a perk for being legal you know......Realize that the war for the majority of Americans is something on the news as opposed to the daily effects and dealings with Illegal immigants.

Wanting freedom and fair wage is all well and great, if you are a legal US citizen. I don't care where you came from or where your grandma came from, but I bet she became a citizen. Immigration has nothing to do with race, it's all about breaking the law! The sooner you understand that, the better off we will all be!

No one here is against immigration
We are against illegals destroying our country.
We don't care what a person's color or nationality is, just do thing the right way.
Learn the language, pay the fees for paperwork, take the tests.
Why are people always trying to say it's about race when it is so obviously not.

We would all like a fair wage for our labor, but illegals drive our wages down. Individually some illegals are nice people, but collectively they are destroying this country. This isn't a racial issue, and most of us are against all illegals. While you are worried about the rights of illegals to do as they please wherever they please the North American Union is being set up. All three countries will lose national sovereignty and be ruled by corporations and the elite. Essentially you are fighting for all of us to lose our rights.

I agree with you 100%, these people here cry about illegals even though they know nothing about the life they live. I came here legaly and I understand why these people wanna stay here. There is nothing wrong with being mexican and loving mexico. Notice at all the immigration rallys Multipul flags were being held up and not just mexican. Hundreds of american flags were held up too. America is founded my immigration and the Idea that ALL PEOPLE can come here to live a better life. And people respond with, oh they come here for money not to live better. Bullshit. Money is everything these days. where you live reflects your pay and your happyness and lifestyle. Open a book, Irish people got it just as bad in the 1920's

It is not a race issue. Playing the race card is lame. Illegal is illegal is illegal.
What is wrong with coming coming here LEGALLY ?
