did you know...?

Question

… that studies made by USA universities, showed that settlement of illegal immigrants are less violent that others, is not till the 3rd or 4th generation that kids that have grown more like Americans than Mexican become more dangerous?

what are your thoughts on that?

Answer 1

I can believe that to be true. I have seen many Mexican families and the elders do not like confrontations at all. They stay clear of arguments and try to resolve disputes in a calm manner. The teenagers who were brought up in our culture will be quick to shout cuss words, and have an altercations rather than just let it go. I know many Mexican families that do spank their children, they use other forms of discipline. My sister in law does not spank her daughter (even though she needs). All the kids that are being brought up in our society are learning from what they see, and hear. My nieces and nephews in Mexico are not allowed to see scary movies, or any movies that have any sort of violance in it, my mother in law does not allow it. There are those that are violent in nature, but isn't that the way it is with everybody.

Answer 2

Really? We've had 4 generations of illegal Mexican immigration? Didn't realize how fiercely we guarded the border in 1880. Sounds like a great study.

Answer 3

The Korean college student who went on a killing spree in Virginia tech University during the spring time was not born here in the United States. He was born in Korea and so therefore had probably only been here for about 12 years before he received the title of the one who killed the most people at one time in a gun shooting here in America. He was not a third or 4th generation child of immigrants who came to live here about 160 years ago like my family ancestors.

Also the very dangerous Salva Trucha gang from El Salvador are all persons who came to live here in the 1980's There are litterally tens of thousands of these first generation violent gang members who are criminals.

The three teen agers from El Salvador who were living in Hempstead Long Island were not born here and in 1999 they killed a young Puerto Rican boy who had come home from celebrating the Puerto rican day parade because they became enraged that he was wearing a shirt which had a picture of the Puerto rican day parade. Those teenagers came to this country after they had been born in El Salvador.

The violent Chinese gangs that deal in drugs and payment protection of businesses here and the criminal Russian gangs here in New York that are involved in money laundering and drug shipments etc all cause crime and are violent. These people were not born here form families who mhave been here fo three or four generations.

Anyone who is older than 50 years of age remembers when America used to be a safe place with out all these home invasions and people getting car jacked etc. Why do you think the media has given up telling who these home invaders are. It is because almost all of these people were not bron here who commit these crimes. Such as the incident in Valley Stream Long Island in spring of 2005 when a man was followed home from the Railroad station and killed on his front lawn by members of a latin gang as an initiation right by killing a white person.

I have given ample examples of many different ethnic groups so as not to be accused of only picking on one particular group. I am over fifty years of age and my great-great grandparents were born came here in the 1860's None of my family members four generations later have become more like those dangerous Americans that you say that the "third or fourth generation" kids are becomming americanized. I grew up as a kid over fifty years ago and no one I knew was ever that violent here in USA.

SoI think that those studies are probobly flawed or are prejudiced in a certain way so as to make it seem like the immigrants pick up this violent behavior by "becomming Ameicanized" as you say.

Those are my thoughts to the question.
Thank you for reading this.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, most Mexican illegals are incarcerated for crimes, violent and nonviolent, after reaching the United States.

go to www.fairus.org

On that website you'll find studies done proving exactly what I just stated.

Answer 5

My thoughts on this, you asked for them, are that this study is full of BS. I never even knew one person who'd been arreseted until I was 21. My home town was/is very peaceful and law abiding. It was small but everyone knew everyone and no crime at all! Those were the days!!!

Answer 6

its true. im a immigrant from overseas and starting from being a nice little boy who is always listening to adults.. i've become the kid who likes to argue and overpower others. it might not seem negative.. but it goes against my culture. i was taught by the craptastic american k-12 education system

Answer 7

i believe that is true..
all these gangsters were born and RAISED here!
they get drugs here..and become a waste of life...parasites...
so much for the "We only want legal immigrants here"

Answer 8

Well, our gun toting culture is to blame....Too many people get guns too easily....We are the most violent first world country, the reason, to many weapons in the hands of wrong people....People with personality disorders who obtain guns and go on a killing spree....Too many disenfranchised people, on the brink of a breakdown, add guns to the equation, a recipe for disaster.....Yeah, I know I will get thumbs down, but that is the reality...

Answer 9

It very well could be the lesson that their parents taught them, that if you want something, get it, even if you do it illegally.

Answer 10

I think George Bush has something to do with that!
