Look, I am mexican, so I understand the situation of people who wants to live and work in the USA.
I know the situation of the governmet.
My country is very beatiful but I know the truth about our government, they don´t do their job.
They don´t support poor people, and if someone wants to get a visa, it´s to difficult.
I am not in this situation, I have my passport, my visa, I Know your country, but I know my people too.
When they want to go to your country, it is because they want to live better. I accept that when they arrive, they think it´s better to get an easy live, stoling, and whit drugs, and taht stuff. But there are some of them, that just want to work, to send money to their families and they suffer the robbers from latin people too.
It is not fair, that some of you attack them wothout knowing their situation.
What do you think?
I`m serious, be serious please!
Thank you!

Look baby, I'm mexican too, you know it, and I feel sad too because of the situation of my people around there. But look at all the answers that you've received. You can't tell they're totally wrong, I think you should put yourself in the same place of them.
BUT you all USA people, just picture this: You are a third world country (just use your imagination), you live at the extreme poverty and have a family to feed, and we mexicans are a first world country whom always need cheap workhand... what would you do??? and how would you feel about it???
I think we all have to be more tolerant. It's not people's fault, this is a government and economy issue. Our politics are contradictory

We understand there situation, however try to understand that a country with out borders ceases to be a country. The Mexicans have been coming across the border for 100 years and we have been able to absorb there numbers, so there goes the race issue if we didn't like them we would have put a end to it a long time ago, however there have been huge increases in the amount of illegals coming in the past few years. The number of illegal immigrants are beginning to affect the very thing they are coming here for,a better quality of life. Schools are having difficulty maintaining standards, like no child left behind because of the number of non English speaking children that continue to cause failing standards for schools, states are having to try and build schools because of over population. Construction and agriculture have seen falling wages because of the amount of cheap illegal labor. And there is the issue of security in this country. 98% of the number stopped last year were from Mexico, 2% were not.
It is just a matter of time before Terrorists begin to cross over, actualy I would be surprised if they haven't already. It's the perfect entry point to be undetected There are some issues that need to be addressed in order for the Mexican people to find work here. 1. The Mexican government needs to meet with the US government and and start negotiations for a better immigration process here. 2. The Mexican government needs to begin a pre qualification process for Mexican people, such as back ground checks career training and English classes so they can obtain citizenship much easier.

Then go through the proper channels to become legal so that we can hold you accountable for any actions you take... They need to pay taxes like all citizens do which is high because of the burden we are carrying for those who don't belong here and soak the system... We don't know who or where they are now is that fair? I don't think so .....
I have had too many bad experiences with your people bad ethics and poor judgment to think that any of them should get special treatment..... I was raised around your culture growing up as a white American citizen..
My mother taught English in Mexico while she was single and the people that I knew from your country are even appalled by the the mentality of yours that try to impose and insist on special treatment and amnesty....
I don't think you have a clue as to the strain that is imposed upon our country and the fact that there are allot of them that have an agenda to over run America..Is this right? It would actually be cheaper to help your people on their own turf then to keep going like we are! Sorry but that's the truth..

We want to live better too, and having so many poor people come above our limits is ruining our schools and services for our own people. We don't think they are coming out of malice but their better life is at our expense and particularly at the expense of our children. Poor people, even if they pay taxes, can't pay the cost of education and other services they use. The rest of us subsidize poor people in this country. Meanwhile programs are being cut in our schools for our children in order to pay for ESL and special programs for children of those illegally here. Our infrastructure, trained teachers and hospitals were set up for OUR population, not the influx of the poor of another country, illegally. If Mexico doesn't subsidize services for its poor, they should work to change that there. That their country doesn't give what we give to our poor is not our fault.

Mexico doesn't offer these kinds of entitlements to people from other nations (legal or illegal) if they so choose to live there. Why do you think America should just because those entitlements are offered to the American people. And always have been since those entitlements were set up to take care of Americans only. Legal or Naturalized. Not illegals.

There are many legal citizens that have it rough. Illegals are not the only ones. When they come here illegally they are really insulting the country that they want to help them. We don't owe anyone anything. There are many legal AMericans that just want to take care of their families. Just b/c someone is from Mexico does not mean they are any different

We're a nation of laws. They're breaking the law. It's that simple. Then you hear stories of increased crime from illegal immigrants, mass parades of waving the Mexican flag, raising the Mexican flag above an upside down American flag in Florida. These people are invading our country. They don't want to be Americans. They want to expand Mexico. They call it Republica del Norte.

Many American citizens want to work to better their own and their families situations just as immigrants do. These legal citizens pay a lot of taxes to help ensure their right to do so, as well as to educate and care for their families. Many of their hard earned dollars go to taxes, that are in turn used to educate and care for people that are here illegally, people that are by law criminals. This is money that could possibly be in my and my families pockets, or could be used to better legal citizens health care and education, but instead it is being used to police this situation. This is much of the problem that people have with illegal immigrants...

Our government is at fault for allowing these illegals to stay here. My family came here legally and waited in line to become citizens. That is the way it's supposed to be done. When the illegals overstay their visas or sneak in, it's unlawful and unfair to those who stood in line. Mexico isn't the only country with poor people. There are millions all over the world, waiting in line. Also, many of the illegals forge fake legal papers and documents. If an American forged any legal document, he would be in prison. We cannot afford to let them stay here. I am tired of our government accommodating to their needs, while not meeting the needs of average Americans.
