The Veiled Chameleon: July 2006: Where the HELL did all of these Mexicans come from??? (Please don't answer: Mexico.)

The worst part of it all, is they honk and stare and yell things to us American girls like they even have a CHANCE with us. Its disquisting.

Well, aparently someone fails to see that those mexicans are people too whether they speak fluent english like my self or not i would be pissed if i knew someone looked at me and thought of me in the way you think of mexicans you clearly must live like in Texas or some place near the border but hi ! i'm sorry i didn't introduce my myself I'm MEXICAN female at that. I see plenty of little white/ american rascals running around stores like there is no tommorow especialy the one's diagnosed with ADHD as you american people like to put a name on your childs excitability ,

you know normally i woudn't catorgerize white people as americans because it just sounds so slave like not here honey i've been in Rhode Island for as long as i can remember and all i've ever seen is the fact that there is allot of hate towards hispanics i read your comments and didn't really care too much and was going to go to the next page but hey i'm bored why not comment on your litle post thingy i've dealt with allot of morons that stood right next to me and thought i didn't know english and would comment and automatically assume i wouldn't respond boy did i prove that person wrong now i did'nt come to the United States by choice i would love to be in my lovely mexico

...and so many tourists from the U.S have proved they do like those mexican women some white men gawk at me like i'm a cheeseburger but it's just not my preference and i have had girlfriends(american) tell me that they love spanish men in bed

"...i've been in Rhode Island for as long as i can remember and all i've ever seen is the fact that there is allot of hate towards hispanics..."

Well, that explains where you acquired the feelings which you've projected onto this page. You definitely couldn't have FOUND them on this page. I certainly didn't post any value judgments about the situation; I just posted the facts. For all you know, the situation makes me as happy as a human is capable of being.

Hispanic men do not whistle or cat-call at girls, American or Hispanic, because they
"think they have a chance" with them. It is a part of their culture - the verb is "piropear" in spanish. In Hispanic cultures, it's consider a harmless compliment.
Now, as an American female from NYC, I completely understand why this is percieved as threatening/undesirable. I would just like to point out that "Ashlee" is quite quick to judge a culture she clearly knows little about. Honestly, who is your hate and scorn bothering? You, or the men who will never see you again? Calm down and enjoy life a little more...

I think that this article is mostly irrelevant, and it only criticizes the Mexican people and their ways of living.

oh hellno you did not say that about the mexicans you red necks

It doesn't matter if the culture in mexico dictates males into being chauvinist pigs...THIS is America. I don't like being whistled at or barked at. If men driving around in trucks with lawnmowers approach me when I'm walking. My initially thought is "im gonna get raped" but they just start catcalling...its disgusting! This is America, we don't do that here! This is the ONLY reason I oppose mexicans in our country!!!!

Its quite simple really, Americans built a sucessful, efficient country Mexico made a mess of theirs, they now want to leave their country and come to America....And out come the Fantasy world PC Brigade!

It's funny to think that there could be ignorants like some people. You don't actually think mexicans or any hispanic wakes up one day and says"hmm......i think i feel like going to the U.S. to take people's job's away. They do it b/c they don't get the enough amount of $ to support their family. So why don't you think about being in their place and think b-4 you speak.

@Aby: Who are you addressing? I agree with everything you said. Consider it part of the foundation for everything I said.

@Jeff: Thanks. What i had typed before was towards everybody critizizing. I, myself am a mexican born in Houston, Texas. My parents came to the U.S. b-4 i was born b/c they knew they were not gonna be able to support me as well as here. They tell me how much people suffer over there. So i'm really thankful for being born here. But i never forget my roots and culture. Oh, and i read what you typed August. I respect that.

Ignore that last repetitive one, the second one was some wierd mistake.I think it's too late though. My bad.

Us mexican come here to have freedom.over in mexico everything is hard.Plus this was are land to begin with. You americans came over on a boat.We are tired of being critisised over our race

EVERYONE !!!! needs to stop with the COLOR, RACE, GENDER bit cause WE ARE ALL HUMANS WITH RED BLOOD I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU COME FROM , THIS IS EARTH DEAL WITH IT otherwise move to a different planet , stop acting like animals and if you act like one expect to be treated like one. I am CHICANO YES I'M PROUD everyone should be proud of who they are but comments like that are uncalled for MEXICANS aren't the only or the first immigrants to this WONDERFUL country ....DO THE LAST NAMES COLUMBUS OR AMERIGO RING A BELL ? YEAH that's what i thought !!! Americans think they own the world but forget that we only have it on loan and look what we are doing with it ........this is a damn website for lizards what does a bunch of MEXICANS have to do with it MEXICANS were here before and will be here after ... we are like roaches , you can't get rid of us and that scares WHITE folk hahahahhaahahahahaha I'M SOOO GLAD THAT MY RACE INSTILLS FEAR HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

OH a few last things before i leave you CHILDREN cause in MY POINT OF VIEW there aren't anymore adults just older kids JEFF if having SO many MEXICANS in YOUR COUNTRY WHICH YOU LEGALLY PURCHASED FROM THE NATIVE AMERICANS bothers you.......then SELL IT !!! Then you will have to sell the STATUE OF LIBERTY , any products that don't say MADE IN THE GOOD OLD' U.S.OF A., your culture ( Oh wait you guys don't really have one you stole that too )AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S NOT AMERICAN (wait then you won't have anything ) kick every NON-AMERICAN out of this country put up massively huge steel walls around the borders and maybe then you guys can live in peace ( lets just hope you are all hard workers ) ..... sounds great if this were a movie but guess what IT'S ALL REAL DEAL WITH IT, EDUCATE YOURSELF, MAN UP AND STOP BITCHING

Look, Spiffy...I mean, Edgar...you're projecting your own stuff onto my post. You won't find any negative opinions about Mexicans anywhere in my post. Go back and read it. Make your best efforts.

And claiming that anything is *implied* is just another way of saying that you, not I, put it there. You're responsible for what you assume, not me.

Get a clue.

Ya leave the mexican alone
cause edgar has a good point and so does abby and jeff.

Thanks carrie. And Edgar, i'm with you all the way man!!!! You tell it like it is. And Jeff, You say you don't say anything negative. What's the whole point of this page??Just curious. Cuz i just read the part up there where you say mexicans don't have fashion sense. If that's not negative, then what is it?????

Wait, Jeff. Are you the same person? You know, the one that owns this page, or the one thet has been typing. Cuz i think there might be two of you. Please correct me if i'm wrong. Cuz it seems like everyone is kinda confused.

The point of this page was to point out and take note of an interesting phenomenon. The "fashion sense" comment, along with the language comment, was to give evidence that these people are Mexicans, not Americans.

I'll say this, though: I'm kind-of an "open borders" kind of guy, but those characters Edgar and Pablo sure the hell gives me sympathy for those who want the fence.

Jeff I'm an open EVERYTHING kind of guy NOTHING but our lives belong to us it's,all we got when we were born into this world . I read your comment OVER AND OVER just to be sure i didn't read it wrong and so did my co-workers and you know what we all felt that you are putting us on blast why ? Who REALLY knows other than yourself. we will continue this later

@Jeff:About the fashion sense, i don't really see the difference of how my parents dress and Americans. But that subject isn't much of a deal.

Changing the subject, are you saying that Edgar and Pablo's comments are making you taking the side of those who want the fence? Is it that their comments are a little too much 4 you? Because i agree with everything they have said. And i'm really wondering when this whole thing in between us will stop. But it's all good as long as we take it to a well-mannered discussion. Talk to ya'll later.

@Jeff:Just wondering......You seem like a guy who is sure to own this country. Not in a literal sense, but you are really puting us mexicans out. Now, immigrants suffer if they have no social security #.They are willing to risk it all and use false papers to get a job to feed their families.Some say we come to take ya'll's jobs away. Then why do i see AMERICAN Hobos with cartons saying HOMELES..gov. withfood stamps.They have NO EXCUSE. They could be looking for a job instead of asking in the streets for easy money. Do you often see mexicans in the street saying,"Homeless"? They come here in the blistering cold, hot, or raining waiting outside in a corner waiting for someone to tell themthey need workers. Your descendants came from somewhere else. Even president Bush said it himself. Now, if you are a Native American(which i TRULLY doubt) than that's a different story. Because everybody knows that they were the first ones here. "YOU CALL YOURSELF AN AMERICAN...GIVE THANKS TO GOD YOU WERE BORN HERE,JUST KEEP SOMETHING IN MIND...NOBODY DECIDES WHERE THEY ARE BORN. lIKE HUMAN BEINGS, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LOOK FOR BETTER LIVES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OURSELVES, AND OUR FAMILIES OF COURSE.

@Aby: Why are you addressing those comments and questions at me? You're saying things that I have been telling people for years.

Well, everything except that "native American" bit. I actually am a native American: I was born here. What my parents, or grand parents, or other ancestors did or where they lived (or anyone else's) is only 100% irrelevant. You might just as well claim that the length of my little toe is of some importance, as claim that one's family history is of any consequence.

What do you mean by "why an i adressing at you?" Aren't you the one that i was talking to last time? Too bad you deny where your ancestors are from. But oh well.
And how come you didn't answer my other question from last time?
Are Edgar's and Pablo's comments making you want the fence? Or are you just saying that because you didn't appreciate the way they adressed at you?

i just want to say i know im stiil a lil kid 18 but i know my family has struggled for me to have a good life i actually think that all of us mexican's deserve to be in america than americans them selves and i know all of us know that were harder workers im not trying to say anything about americans it's just that i had a harder life in mexico i worked 5 times harder over there than in america so that is why my parents and me decided to move to america to have a better life well that's all i have to say and by the way who ever made this page probably dosn't have a heart ........

Wow, some of the comments on this post are really sad. If you take a look at American History you will find that nearly all of the southwest United States (including California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Florida)was at one time Spanish Territory.

And, the sterotypes mentioned are so broad based and are also not entirely accurate. The danger in making negative stereotypes is that it marginalizes and dehumanizes the group in question and it allows others to treat these people badly. So, rather than looking at what seperates people, look at how the diversity in cultures makes life interesting.

they need to go back to Mexico.

Neicy,shut up. Have you not read anything yet. You say they gotta go to Mexico, i say you go TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a irish american being that my grandparents immigrated here and I think this whole situation is just tough. In one hand you know that if you were in the same place as the mexicans here you'd probably do the same as them to have a better life for you and your family. But on the other hand you know that laws need to be followed to have a prospering nation so I don't really see any solution to this situation.

hijos de su mama if ur races wach it! mexicans came from mexico because the actecs were born duh duh der!! hecks ya!!

Imagine a group of 1/2 inch men. They are of all the countries in the world. A little Chinese guy, a little Portugese guy, a little English guy, a little Spaniard guy, a little Japanese guy, a little Korean guy, a little Black guy.....and the little English guy jumps up real high, sticks his chest out real proud with his turned-up nose in the air and tells God..`Thanks for making me the best of them all!I am the smartest, the prettiest, and all the rest are inferior to me.`
This is how God sees it, I am sure.
use your own sense to imagine what god must think of this racism in the world he died to save.

I agree with madrid they say this is a free country and where did all the americans come from oh i mean EUOROPEANS where did all you come from k all you just came and started taking land like crazy from the indians the frenh wanted to stop you and give all the land back and alot of land from mexico and WITHOUGHT mexicans this country will fall and dont say no who is working at all the plantations picking food and working in construction ok I am only 13 years old and i know all this -_- no school my ass

see thats why i hate some of u white people .because you people instagate to dame much.

am going to remmember all of those who arent MEXICANS that back then california and other states it used to be MEXICO !!!

so i came across this thing while doing research for a project......wow being a latino this just pisses me off n makes me dislike white people even more....

Let me explain something to you Ashleigh!. In AMERICA, harrassing women on the street is not a compliment and not something to be tolerated, let alone enjoyed. If they like "complementing" women, they should do it in their own country!

that is so messed up you don't own america you can't nmae thins for your self...america is for everyone!!...even me a mexican!

Okay everyone, I am a white English-speaking American with people in Mexico whom I consider to be family, as well as a Mexican girlfriend. They are Mexican, not Mexican American. That being said, the whole "we were here first" argument does not work for either side with regard to Texas. Texas was historically a part of Spain and later Mexico, but the fact is, Anglos played an enormous role in Texas's growth and development. So its not really fair to say one group deserves to be there more than the other. Also, imagine if the Mexican city of Monterrey was 50% populated by white English speakers like myself, and the native population could not communicate with them. Most Mexicans would not like this. But Mexicans do not have to deal with cultural and linguistic diversity to the extent that most Americans do. I'm not saying it is right to resent widespread use of the Spanish language in the United States, but if the shoe were on the other foot, would Mexicans react with sympathy or hostility to any percieved threats to their culture?

Mexicans were here first before the europeans and spaniards but the point is they didn't hold on to it as well as the native americans who came here from the bearing straits in asia and africa, they didn't keep it either. The europeans were cunning and slick and evil ... more than evil, maybe satanic and bundled their gains thru ill-gotten means, true. They killed the mayan civilization off, killed the native americans off and had the slaves work in the fields, made them build buildings and create all that is here that needed hard work, that makes this country great and why everyone wants to live here. The europeans gained riches upon riches and became the most powerful people in the world through the criminal American way. Nothing to be proud of but it is true. The problem is that these same european decendents are still gaining the majority of what benefits this country has while the brown races are are still fighting to be equal with the european. The problem is you are already equal but you just don't see it for yourselves which keeps the power in the hands of the europeans. Mexicans are voting mainly republican because they "think" that party actually wants them when the fact is they just want more slaves to create a rich/pour society and they are using mexicans to that end. Everyone is beginning to suffer including now the white non-rich; they're the new has-beens. Should I use the phrase communist society budding? Seems like it...

why did you erase my comments? they were in deed thought provoking and true which would be the only reason someone would take them off. this is what i mean, the communistic dumbing down of america at hand...i thought this was a free site...mmmm...

hey u americans dont like us get out of this land it was are's until u people took from us.I agree pablo.

yeah mexican still get called (beaners, w/b whiches wet back) but all of use mexican are the best we work hard to support are family and to go on.....

I am not prejudice at all but it is a clear fact that ILLEGAL immigrants are ruining the economy. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country if they come legally. Its also not a problem if they dont speak english, but they better make an effort to learn it or they have no right being here. Lets also acknowledge that the majority of Americans are all here because there relatives and ancestors immigrated here, and are no different then the hispanics who are flooding into this country today.

I love all the comments about how us white people are immigrants too and we stole it from mexicans and this and that, how about this, look what us white people did with our country. Ok now look at what you mexicans did with yours. We dont want your poor trash coming illegally across our borders are rates just shy of a million a year and bringing your "culture" and your "entitlement" with you. We're just fine thanks and if you think you BELONG here, well just remember, borders may be political but the blood shed for them is real, AND YOU LOST, just like you all lose at everything. Get humble, get in your place and realize none of this would be anything resembling acceptable if the opposite were happening and we were pouring into your country. On top of EVERYTHING you create a economical nightmare. I can go into that further but ill leave it at when YOURE undocumented, the money spent on you by the government is undocumented. I agree our system for letting you people in is difficult to follow and it needs a reform, and those people here legally, congratulations. YOUR AN AMERICAN NOW, NOT A MEXICAN. I love these legal mexicans who claim all this mexican pride. Hell I live in LA, I see trucks that say "brown pride" across the back. If you love it so much, go back, its borders are always open. Thats right...no one wants to go to mexico. That country is trash.

I was married to a Mexican man once. Big!Mistake. But that's because he was involved in drugs,and cheated on me to say the least. Now! To say something bad about mexicans is wrong. This world has enough problems in it, why make more. God created us all, not just white people. Was jesus white? No! He was Hebrew/Jewish, and that is brown skin, believe it or not. God didn't create America, god created the world. I think there is always going to be people in this world who hate another race. Maybe its something they learned from their parents, not sure. But, come on, grow up.

@margie: "Mexican" is not a race.

Hey! I'm originally from the Midwest. I grew up when America was America. Everyone spoke English, attempted to work and valued education. I moved to Phoenix eight years ago and have seen English go away, high school drop out rates increase and crime go up... Illegals are ruining our country... Take a look at who gets arrested in Phoenix http://www.mcso.org/ - click on mugshots. It's Mexicans with ZERO education, gang associated tattoos and I'm sure NO fathers -too many babies out of wedlock. I'm sick of it... This country is turning into Mexico. Have you been to Mexico, all in all it is dirty and ugly. I don't think it is a coincidence that the graffiti is mainly in areas where Mexicans live... I could go on and on... When I see a Mexican child, I think "there goes a future non englishing speaking fast food worker of America..." UGH! Bush, someone CLOSE THE BORDERS QUICKLY -- SEND THEM BACK...

you guys are stupid.

Therearenogoodsc nailed it.

I agree with Roxanne.

I Am A Mexican Male, My Father Came From Mexico When He Was Just 22 years old and started from nothing!He Came To The U.S. In Hopes Of Starting A New Prosperous Life! He Left His Fiancée And Everything He Knew In Mexico! My Father Started From Zero! My Father Struggled For 15 Years So He Can Reach His Dream.... Now My Father Runs His Own Business And He Has Bought A $1,000,000 House So I Won't Have To Suffer Like He Did.... He Suffered To Give Me And All My Family In Mexico What He Couldn't Have As A Child... I Am Proud Of My Father, And I Am Proud Of My Culture! My Father Made It To Where He Is Now Because He Worked Hard.... He Didn't Give Up And Start Asking For Money Like All The Bums You See In The Streets Today!

Hi everyone. I don't want to express hate towards anyone because I believe we are all one. I think that everyone has the right to express themselves but It makes me very sad to see how humanity hurts itself. It is so easy to point out someone else's fault, mistakes or way of being.....but maybe if you knew that everyone around you is part of you.....I wanted to point something out in regards people who believe USA or any country for that matter is theirs. You guys forget that no land really belongs to anyone in particular, the whole world is for everyone in it. USA land was NOT YOURS, you stole it from Indians by fighting wars for territory, enslaving and killing anyone who stood in your way. How can that make you proud? Americans are very arrogant because they feel they are a superior race. Not knowing that that they are not 100% pure race but rather a mixture of DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES... Maybe you should think of that before you show hate towards any immigrants. The People who come from other countries are here because they want an opportunity to advance in life, they are pursuing the same thing your ancestors did, only difference is that they are not fighting or killing anyone to obtain it.
Maybe instead of focusing your attention to negativity and most importantly things that you WILL NEVER CHANGE, you should start by loving everyone no matter who they are or what they look like, because at the end of the road remember that we are all one. Once you start concentrating in positive things, you will begin to experience the world in a different way with more happiness, abundance, peace, laughter, joy and excitement! Life is very beautiful please make the most of it. Don't waste your engergy on things that will not benefit you but rather hurt you in the long run. That is what I wish for everyone in the world. Love, Kathy

Thanx Kathy Well Said ;)

@Kathy:

"You guys forget that no land really belongs to anyone in particular, the whole world is for everyone in it."

Every piece of the world doesn't belong to everyone. To think it does is to be a communist.

All I have to say is that people need to get over what race they are that's so stupid that in order to place value on a person, you have to place value on their physical appearance. My dad was born in Tijuana, Mexico and my mom was born is Stockton, CA. I am basically a first generation American on my dad's side.My great grandmother on my mother's side is from Monterey,Mexico. And I can own up to the fac that I am Mexican. My ancestry is Spanish, German, Irish, Blackfoot Indian, and French. The point is no is pure anything this day and age. Mexicans in particular come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors as do all people. I am extremely proud to be Mexican. I have fair skin, dark brown hair, and eyes. The fact of the matter is people cannot change their ancestry or the ignorance of racism they face... they can only be who they are.

I think if all the gangbangers where destroyed half the problem would disappear.....
15 years ago maybe 1 or 2 of you mexicans were standing on my dollar now it's 15 of you beaners.... taking.........and what a rat hole chicago became...and fuk corp.america...
just my 2 cents left out of my dollar...
once lived good now working doulble time....

@Jeff,

My point of view does not come from "men created parties" neither Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Communist or any other. I come from a bigger and stronger source Jeff. The source that created everything and everyone around you. Hopefully in time you will see what this means.

Oh almost forgot, you guys have to see this movie called the Secret. I was very happy to know that Oprah aired it out last week. You can buy the Secret at www.thesecret.tv. Believe me guys this documentary will give you a very powerful tool to get what you desire out of life; health, wealth, the desired love relationship, and anything else you want!. (PS. The Secret is not religious)

Love
Kathy

I am a 32-year-old white woman. Until last year I never thought about being with anyone but white men. Not that I'm prejudice, just never thought about it really. Never had the desire… Then I met this awesome Mexican man. He is the most amazing person I have ever met! I am totally in love with this man!! There is nothing wrong with people trying to make a better life for their families. People seem to forget they would not be in this great country if their ancestors would not have come here as immigrants to do the same thing. Make a better life!!! People need to get over themselves!! Just be thankful there is a great country called America where we all can live.

The true philosophy is that ride well make you less of a person! We must grow in number's! Because the USA! Is the really the real strong power! It really does not matter where you are from! If love freedom and enjoy big ass truck's and life! then people wake up! This is the free world! Get a damn grip!

@JJ, and some of you...if you don't like catcalls, GET AN IPOD, 1st ammendmend baby! MEOOW!

To most of you idiots:
Aztecs, Myans and Indians are not wiped out. I worked with Anaceto for nearly years. He's 6' 250lbs solid. A great man, highly skilled, Aztec. Egyptions aren't building pyramids but the do exist. Mauricio is also good man 5'8" 220lbs solid. Family oriented, hard working, Myan. To me they are american, to some they are just mexicans. Jesse is an indian with papers to prove it, yet looks american to me. I've worked with Jesse for nearly five years now, very hardworking, devoted family man. As for the individuals who bullied thier way about and settled this country...they've been dead for centuries. When you say, "you americans" did this and did that, who and the hell are you talking to? The writers of the constitution? Again...dead. Best to define "American". If you want to say white then say it. The people of Mexico didn't ruin their country no more than the people of The Unites States went to war with Vietnam, those things are governmental decisions. Face it there is a degree of corruption in all current goverments. This country was founded, established, and built on immigration. Irish built roads, chinese railroads, etc. Ask anyone what they are(ie irish, german, dutch, chec, polish, etc.) they usually don't say "american" unless they're in another country. "Mexicans" are something too ask them. This is just the latest wave of immigration and no immigrants were kindly accepted by the immigrants before them. Anybody heard of a WOP? (W)ith (O)ut (P)apers For all you with any Italian in you. I've seen lazy, uneducated, worthless people of all colors and I've seen greatness too. I have four boys and one girl that range from 6 to 12. I want a nice home for them, a good education, good food, clothing, a want a decent vehicle. I want my children to be best that they can in this great nation of ours. How 'bout you? How 'bout "them". How naive are you if you think that this will the last wave of immigration in our nation's history. Before I forget, the idiot with the graphitee remark. Where and the hell have you been Jack? Drive through New York, Boston, or even D.C. for christ's sake. You think that is a hispanic idea? Oh, by the way, hiSPANic, SPANish, SPAIN, EUROPE! Mexican people are not decendants of SPAIN, just the laguage and the Catholic religion they were coverted to are. These things were brought the by the SPANish exployers. Most of everythibg we all hold dear and dislike all came from Europe. ENGlish, SPANish, Cathlic, Cristianity, Nazis, etc. Other great stuff come frome the other continents and bad stuff too. The United States of AMERICA...hmm...North AMERICA, Central AMERICA, South AMERICA. What other countries are in an AMERICA? Someone get me a globe. I'm thinking we all have more things in common than not. Well, I gotta go. The neighbor's kid just dropped a toy in my yard. Who does he think he is!!! Land of the free my ass! I'll fix him, I'm putting up big fence right now!

Why do Mexicans fail to take control of THEIR country? What a beautiful country. What a waste.
I say ANEX MEXICO NOW.

There are always going to be fringe elements out there shooting their mouths off with racist BS. The issue here is not about Mexicans or Italians or Irish or Chinese or any other demographic group that has come/is coming to the US en masse. The issue here is respecting laws and standards that are in place to protect everyone involved. The thing that gets me is the continual dropping of the "illegal" modifier when talking about immigration. Yes, we are a nation of immigrants. Yes, the constituent people of this nation should take pride both in being an American and in their cultural roots. Yes, the melting pot nature of this country is what makes it great. However, like every other country in the world, we have immigration laws and procedures that need to be followed. Just because the starving masses of the world "need" a better job/more money/a better place to live is not a logical reason to revoke those laws and procedures. The debate here is that since so many people have broken immigration laws, maybe we should just get rid of them. Let me ask you, if all the homeless people on the streets started breaking into houses and stealing everything they could find because they "need" it, does that make the stealing right? Should we then say, "well, because they really, really need it, we can just let them break in." No! That is the first step toward anarchy. If someone wants badly enough to enter the United States, they can respect the laws of the US and enter legally, and once here, be proud to say that they are an American. Not essentially exploit what the US has to offer while bashing it and refusing to adopt its cultural norms. Let me say now that I am an Ashkenazic Jew and have been subjected to racism all my life and I repudiate it in all forms. No race is inferior to any other. However, this is not about race, it's about law, and the laws need to be respected and enforced by all for the good of all.

o my gosh you guys are acting like only mexicans are the ones that are coming in illegally,theres people from japan, honduras, china, etc. you guys are treating us the way you guys treated black people back in the days!! im so fed up with white people thinking there better than us. but in the end god wont judge you by your skin of color but by the way you were here on earth. and another thing, yeah mexico might not be as beautiful as america but its not the people that live theres fault its the government!!!! THats why my dad came here in this country for a better life, and for all those people who think that mexicans dont have an education and are worthless, that gives me more energy to be a better person, go to college and prove all you people wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

Mexicans hate blacks and whites. Groups such as LaRaza and Mecha make the KKK look tame in comparison. The comments here reflect the intolerance so common among Hispanics, who think their "race" is the best. They further think they are owed something because they do "the jobs Americans won't do" as that moron Bush states. It's simple, they will work for pennies because that is a lot of money in their poor country. Why will Americans pick up garbage? Because IT PAYS A LIVING WAGE. Get that through your thick skulls. We owe you Mexicans nothing.

I am an 18 year old mexicoamericana, i was born in oak park, IL to two Mexican-born physicians. The ignorance i find on a daily basis on the internet is frightening and the racism is intolerable. The Mexican culture is wonderfully rich and diverse. People, mostly white u.s. citizens do not seem to appreciate this. I must say that the only racism i have ever experienced was from white ppl not black, or middle eastern, or asian or the europeans for across the Atlantic. I wonder why this is?? why do they get so worked up when ppl are bilingual or trilingual?? Mexicans from Mexico ARE descendants of European immigrants and most have amerindian cultures mixed as well, i am fair complected and have light brown hair and eyes so i KNOW that i have SPANISH blood in me, as i also am aware that i have AZTEC and TEPEHUAN amerindian blood in me particularly. I am proud of this background and i feel sorry for those who seemingly have no culture and have to rag on other ppl for having some.
btw. Mexicans do not hate blacks or whites
or asians.
Keep in mind that we live in a melting pot and that México is not.
God Bless his little children

You idiot!!!!! Learn your history before putting up something soooooooooooooo stupid!!!! This country we call America was founded by immigrates. The day you go back from where your assister came from then I will too.. Until then... SHUT IT!!!!

i think that whites shouldnt be soo racist because we could say alot of stuff to you gringos but i rather use my time preciously.for jeff Mexican is a race you dumb a** .I hate it when ppl say are you spanish? well yes but im mexican.its like if i told someone caucasian are you english?i hate stereo types.VIVA Mexico!!!!!!!gueyes lol

i dont think they even would want a chance with you flat asses us mexicans and blacks have all the butts!lol

um hello.gringos pinches mamones.you guys dont even know what your talking about.harrassing isnt the word its called "talking".duh man get some sense in your heads pinches putos.hell yeah viva mexico!!!

for one, Im not 100% Mexican, But my brother in law is. Im mixed. And I dont understand wny someone would even say anything like that to anyone. Seriously, you need to really open your head! Your embaressing yourself if you really think that Mexican's are all that bad- they're not! Im Indian/Porta Rican. If any "white" person wants to critize other's there what I call a "honkey" so screw those comments. People like that are born Negitive. And need help. they got my 100% sympothy. Hope that sumday they can wake up, and realize that, Blond hair, Blue eyes, arent everything!

AND NO, MEXICAN DONT HATE BLACKS AND WHITES! DONT STEREOTYPE PEOPLE! I'de go with a black boy, or whatever. That dosnt consern me. Race dosnt matter! AND YES, AMERICA WAS FOUNDED BY IMMIGRANTS! Now what you g2 say? Nothing! mayb you should get a book and do you reseach b4 U decide to post this crap!

GO IMMIGRANTS LOL

^---if that was directed at me, then you're not reading very carefully. I haven't said ANYTHING bad about Mexicans at all; not in my original post, not in any of the responses.

The chameleon guy needs to shut up and get over it. You can like this country or leave it. The USA is all mixed races and immigrants. Thats why everybody wants to live in America. I do not see why alot of white people not all just the ignorant breeds tend to beleive they are a pure race. Whites are all immigrants as well. If you want to be so judgemental then take a good look at your own race history through out centuries. Whites took this country from native americans. They killed or them made as slaves. They also famously, took blacks from their country and brought them to America as slaves and I think its clear what happened after that. So I dont understand when they complain about blacks, mexicans, etc. You have no one to hate but your own damn ancestors!! If you hate every one except whites go to Finland or whever you originated from. And Im not refering this to all white people just the rednecks that think they are a pure superior race. GET OVER IT BITCHES!!!

^---Jessica: Go back and read my original post. You'll notice that it says nothing bad whatsoever about Mexicans at all. Not a thing. Not once. Not anywhere. All it says is that there were a great many of them suddenly around. That's all. That's it. Finis. It doesn't even say whether or not I considered that to be a good thing or a bad thing.

Next, "Mexican" is not a RACE. The issue of racism is as misplaced in this conversation as would be the introduction of the topic of 19th century telegraph poles.

You people are all clueless. You make stuff up and attribute it to me. That's what's got people arguing back and forth here - just stuff that you've made up (and nothing that I've actually said). It's just so funny. I remember a class on informal logic that I took in college in which a woman in the class couldn't figure it out, and she said to me, "Just what's the point of all of this?" Apparently, I've found a whole slew of people who don't know the point of logic and reasoning. She would be right at home here.

First, I want to say that I enjoyed your Post and secondly, I love your little picture there! :)
It's amazing how you can be categorized as a Racist for just speaking facts through observation! It's really gotten disgusting!
...RI is not only full of Mexicans, it has become over populated by people from all Countries!
I'm becoming the Minority in my own workplace! I don't get it. What is the lure of Rhode Island anyway? It's outrageously expensive to live here and the jobs don't even pay a decent wage.

Yeah, the "racist" epithet is overused by those who have no real arguments. It's an intimidation tactic, nothing more.

For the record, I'm in favor of OPEN BORDERS, unless there's a compelling reason otherwise. The most compelling reason that the anti-illegal immigration people come up with is the social services issue. Once in the United States, everyone has access to these social services, and the argument is that the Mexicans are a drain on the system. Well, all of that is true, but the root of the problem is misplaced; the problem isn't the illegals, it's the fact that the "free" social services exist in the first place. Eliminate them. All of them. Completely. Now. For everyone. That solves the problem, right there. End the socialism. Let everyone pay their own way, rather than relying on money stolen (i.e., TAXES) from others (the [so called] "rich"). End the socialism, end the caused by immigration.

Such ignorance you have for other cultures! Seems to me you have forgotten where you came from in recent history, Europe ! Im sure you could rally the pure white in this country, who will never be native to this land, but in their little minds, who think their bigotry will stand. It seems like people that preach your brand of hate, will eat them like a cancer within! Face the facts, Orientals are not going back to China, Blacks are not going back to Africa, and Europeans are not going back to Europe ! You need to grow up !

@Danny: Who is this "you" that you're referring to? Me? The person who wrote the original post and who owns the weblog? If so, then you're a dumb-ass with no redeeming qualities. Get some reading comprehension training.

People have to realise that " Mexican " is not a race, but a " Nationality " because Mexico use to be called " New Spain " and as far as my history book goes, Spain did not bring women over to the new world, so they actually mixed with the Indians here. Thats why Mexican means "mixture ", and its going to take education, to change the perception of people here in the Americas, because we are all Americans, not just the Europeans who have imposed their brutal will on the population here, and commited " Genocide " here on the people. This country was built on racisim, and it continues even now !!!

Jeff who am I? Im a hispanic man, who is disgusted in the attitude, and bigotry, and hateful attitude of some in this country. my girlfriend is irish ( Blonde ), and feels the same way about peoples attitudes as I do, and I have never whistled at her, or made gestures unappropriate at her, she loves me for who I am, and does not stereotype me, or other people! Ignorance is what I detest the most !

all these fuckin mexicans need 2 speak english in this bitch

if Mexico etc is so friggin' great why do you keep coming here ? Stay there and help your own country improve. You come come here for a free ride at taxpayers expense. You make no effort to learn the language or adjust to a new culture. You come here because Mexico, Central American and South America suck. You and your kind are bringing down this country.

ok for the comments up on top about Mexican males "barking and whistling" at you as you walk down the street!!!.. FIRST of all dont give them reasons to BArk or Whislte obviously your dressing like skank or just look easy and im sure mexicans are not the only ones who would give you attention if you gave it to them!..

i agree, too many mexicans who don't speak english, and they come here to use OUR welfare system, which they get for free and all of us americans had to pay into it for so many working years. if i was in mexico, no way would they allow me to speak english if i worked there, so why is it ok for them to come here and not bother to learn english. it is not english as a second language. it is english as a first language. and, even on this e-mail site, the mexicans who responded do not know how to even write in english. i am disgusted

say what you want whitey, we mexicans know how to do everything the right way. ONLY HISPANIC WOMAN CAN GIVE BIRTH TO REAL MEN!

AMEN!

I REALLY hope the US fills right up with not only Mexicans, but also Latin Americans from all over south america...the latino mix will finally create better looking Americans with some real culture other than getting obese and wanting to bomb the Islamic world.

We Mexicans Beat the shit out of our children when we get home if their running around like or at the store white people lose their fuckin kids

hey white people do something for your country get all those white bums off the streets do something about those white guys going to other country`s to have sex with young girls mexicans arn`t the only pervs and white girls are easy and they bang farm animals on the interent

Mexicans tend to be very, very good people. That's for sure.

Open letter to President Bush

Dear President Bush,

I am about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. (where I am a citizen) into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So would you mind telling your buddy, Presidente Vicente Fox, that I am on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for me and my entire family.

2. English speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch while they attend your schools at your cost.

8. Please make them eligible for government scholarships and student loans for college, should we stay illegally for a longer period of time. Make sure they do not try to collect and money from the loans, as we have no intention of repaying them.

9. I will need a Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

10. I do not plan to have any auto insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

11. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Presidente Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

12. I plan to fly the US flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

13. I would also like to have a nice job without paying taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

14. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request, because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the USA from Mexico. I am sure that Presidente Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Sincerely,

A US citizen

- The irony is that being an illegal alien in Mexico is a felony and will get you 2 years in a luxurious mexican prison, unless you're American then you get kicked out right away

Wow! what a lot of responses. The Mexicans will tell you they were born herein U.S. as soon as they learn or someone gives them some coordinating clothes to put on. Truth is, maajority (90%) of them are illegal.That's alright though, they consider themselves special and more so than us born and raised in the U.S.I am not saying this lightly, for who else can have dual citizenship by merely going to Mexico and back to the U.S. but the Mexicans. They come to the U.S. and many times when you speak to them, they look at you and say, '' NO speak englase''. The truth is they do, they just don't care to talk to you.When I was in Texas a few years back (summer) thousands of them came across the border and were marching across the high way in Austin, Texas, with the express intent to say ''WE'RE HERE. Not only that, they were holding up traffic near the highway and had their Mexican flags with them waving them in the air in Austin, Texas, which the last time I checked the map, was not Mexico. Some hospitals were closed down in San Jose, Ca. because the Mexicans went to the county hospitals as soon as they crossed the border. We have to show I.D. AS Soon as we come to the hospital, and what I.D. do they show? I stood behind one ofthem in a line for assistance years back, and a Mexican young girl stated she had no social security card while in the welfare line, that was alright, she got assistance. What the heck is going on? We were lied to saying they want the jobs no one else wants. No,this is not so, they end up getting our jobs, big,small, they take them all. They even get on social security when they get here, and all I have to say to this , is that there is a co-operative effort. What is really a sight, is that I walked into a store in L.A. AND every employee was a Mexican working in the 99cnt. store. What happened to enforcement of equal opportunity employer? Is that a thing of the past, or were there too many Mexicans to enforce it? When the Mexicans arrive here, look how soon they endup with a brand new vehicle right off the car lot. We have days to see whether our credit is good enough. They arrive and have no credit at all. The Mexicans are not loyal to the U.S. They say they want a better life, the truth is they love Mexico for their heritage, which they are not ever going to entirely give up, and they also want what U.S. has to offer them that they are willing to take advantage of, and they sure do. In San Jose, Ca. many of them are getting arrested and headlines state too many of them are on the beaches and getting fined and arrested. They do believe in the power of numbers, and I do believe they brought over the cock roaches as well.

The Mexicans have dual citizenship, the U.S. AND Mexico. They are not loyal to the U.S. The Mexicans were in Austin,Tx.(BY THE THOUSANDS) several years ago, on a march near the highway and waving their Mexican flag in the air and blocking traffic. I was one of the people in a vehicle that had to be in a traffic jam because of them. It was disgusting and in the summer heat at that. Many of them are hostile with American caucasians and will respond in their broken english, 'No speake englase'' WITH A GO TO HELL SMILE WITH IT. The Mexicans, many of them are flooding the beaches in San Jose, Ca. and are being arrested, fined andmany sent back to Mexico, according to the newspapers in San Jose, Ca. In Los Angeles, the 99 cent store several years ago had 100% Mexicans working in the store, so what happened to equal opportunity employment? Did it go by the wayside because of the shear numbers of Mexicans? The Mexicans finagle their way into our jobs and they are the prejudice ones, they are hostile. Ever heard of the term ''Border Mexican''? These are the worst. Many of these Mexicans will tell you they have lived here for years as soon as someone shows them how to put their clothes on right.They use their power in numbers by having many babies and sex is their weapon.

Wow! what a lot of responses. The Mexicans will tell you they were born herein U.S. as soon as they learn or someone gives them some coordinating clothes to put on.

well mexicans came to work hard to work not to do bad thing
OR TO BE SLOBS LIKE SOME AMERICANS AND WHOEVER DID THIS PAGE OR WROT THIS PAGE ARE BAD PEPLE AND GOD DOSNT LIKE IT EVEN BUSH SAID THEY COME HERE TO WORK not like you guys and work even harder YOU JUST DONT KNOW THEM SO I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST SHUT THE MOUTH cuase everyone are sissters even if you are differnt color or are ugly

I suppose that I'm the one who "wrot this page". But I didn't say a single thing bad about Mexicans. Not a one. Not ever. All I said that there were a great many more around than usual.

Your powers of reason rank right up there with your English spelling.

germans rock lol and so do scotissh and french who cares about mexicans lol well i do but germans still rock seya people

germans rock lol and so do scotissh and french who cares about mexicans lol well i do but germans still rock seya people

With all the talk of Mexico invading the US ....
I would like to point out that WE invaded this country and forcibly took it away from the indigenous prople(s) whom we relegated to various slices of land we didn't want (which we called "reservations" .... more like GULAGS). So, don't be too impressed with your heritage as it was an INHERITANCE that came covered in the blood of those we drove out that WE might be safe
from THEIR savagery. Not too pretty when you really look at it .

I am a american and by husband is hispanic and let me tell you something my husband takes very good care of me and our three kids. And i am not ashamed of saying that he is hispanic I am very proud of him for everything he does. You people who dislike hispanic people are very rude. The way people talk them down is wrong and I feel if you hate anyone it should be yourselves. I do not see any problem with hispanics or any other race being here. If they want to come here to try to better their lives so be it. Leave them alone. they are human just like us. And what does it matter if they do not speak english it does not bother me and it should not bother you. For the people who it does bother if you do not want to hear it just do not go where they are. And remember they are everywhere you will never get away from them. Me if I see someone who does not speak english I will offer to translate for them since i can speak pretty good spanish. I love my hispanic man and I always will. So for all the hispanic's viewing this site you have my 100% support. You keep doing what you do, and do not let anyone change you. some people out there are just a** and they think that they are better then anyone. the way i see it nobody owns the USA except god. So why don't you people stop trying to rule everyone else's life and get one of your own.

i am white and love mexican men!!!!! They Rock!! White men need to learn from them as they make GREAT!! Lovers!!

First of all I am a Black/Mexican woman. Would someone explain to me why all these girls are saying mexican men hit on them. They say that in america we dont do that here when i have friends of differnt races who get hit on all the time wether the man is mexican,white,black,asian or whatever race.A woman of any race can be hit on just walking down the street whatever race she is. So people need to stop hating on others when it's themselves they don't like.
sincerly BLACK/MEXICAN SISTA!!!

hey whitegirl im mexican and im singal and hot if you wnat to get hook up call me i love white girls

If the United States had not stopped with Texas and had taken all of Mexico the great people of Mexico and the USA would have all been much better off. The mexican government has never taken very good care of its people!
It would have solved the imagration problem (with Mexico anyway) and look at the OIL reserves we would have gained. TW

The focus of Mexico and Mexican deals with the economy and social and political ideals they bring into the United States. I am not bothered by any particular ethnic group in our country. What I am bothered about is illegal immigration coming into our country and the use of social welfare to sustain their lifestyle (whether US citizen, illegal/legal immigrant). Recieving welfare should only be used as temporary income or supplemental income, NOT as your main source of income for the rest of your Life!
Out of all the ethnic groups that compose America African Americans, Mexicans and Whites exploit the welfare system. Making taxpayers pay for their health benefits, Food stamps and shelter.

There are many other racial groups other than Mexicans that make-up our country, such as Chinese, Japenese, Filipino, Cubans, Jews, etc.
Many Filipinos and Chinese come to the States with no money in their pocket and use the welfare system to get on their feet. Many graduating with postsecondary degrees-helping to fuel our economy. On the other hand, many Mexicans (not all) do not seem educationally motivated to obtain an advanced degree when they arrive to the States.

Mexicans have a strong cultural heritage and embrace their culture, food and family - however, they just have a VERY CORRUPT government. Unlike the U.S. where we have a strong middle class, Mexico has the very rich and the very poor. Only 5% are filthy rich and about 80-90% are very poor. The rich are greedy, they don't want to share their money with anyone. They pay their workers less than $2 a day. While the rich eat out everynight, spending $600 on a meal- each night!! They go to lavish malls in the States with their jet planes and don't care if their own people are starving. Many of the poor people in Mexico are searching for spoiled food to feed to their two-year old son or daughter. Living life day-to-day with no hope accept for the possibilty of making it to the States oneday- the land of opportunity.

I agree it is NOT America's obligation to help these illegal immigrants, something has to be done to the Mexican government - so that their citizens will want to stay in their country.

SANDRA i agree with you I have no problem with it etheir. but one thing that i do not agree with that you are saying is that the illegals coming and trying to live off welfare. cause i know alot of people legal and illegal who does not try to get it. or if they do try they get turned down. but look how many drug dealers they give it to. that is what bothers me the most. and some people that are on welfare they do have jobs and try to work very hard to support their family's, but sometimes you just need the extra help. and those people who work and receive benifets it is come out of their paychecks also. no matter what they receive health, food stamps, or money. so it is not only illegals getting it. and if the goverment was doing their job right they would try to stop. Bush is so against it but all he cares about is sending people off to war.

yal are so stupid

noone really likes racist rednecks anyways

THE MAJORITY OF MEXICAN'S ARE HARD WORKING AND CARE FOR THEIR FAMILY VERY MUCH. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU WILL SEE SOMEONE IN THE GROCERY STORE ON WELFARE BUYING FOOD AND YES, A LOT OF THE GROWN UP'S DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH AND HAVE TO HAVE THEIR KID'S TRANSLATE FOR THEM. BUT WHEN THEY PULL OUT A BIG WAD OF MONEY AND GO AND BUY A HANDFULL OF LOTTERY TICKET'S, THAT MAKE'S ME MAD. IT'S REALLY NOT THEIR FAULT THOUGH,IT'S THE WAY OUR LAW'S ARE STRUCTURED IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEY JUST TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THEM. WE CAN'T, BUT THEY CAN.

I think that some of the negativity that is projected to mexicans is brought on by their humble circumstances as well as because of some who clearly take advantage of our system. Saying that, I state that I do believe that many anglo-americans to be prejudice and snobby because of their set positions in life. Jeff you do have valid points, a boat can only carry so many before it starts to sink. An immigration bill is desperately needed. Now to you others, I was blessed to be born on the American side of the border. My Great grandfather came to America at the turn of the century from Mexico. Our family has lived honestly and has tried to be a positive influence in our city. We have family in Mexico that we see from time to time. Our older generation was naturalized legally and speak and write (not very well)the English language. Our current generation speaks English and Spanish fluently. In our family we have doctors, lawyers, busines owners, and yes blue collar workers. We do not wave the Mexican flag or hang it on our cars. We have American veterans, and we are extremely proud of our American Flag. If you see us in the street we will range from 5 ft to 6.5 ft tall, some dark some very light, many handsome and or beautiful. My point is we are all the same, and We are not all the same. The diffrence between you and I is that your ancestors came from europe, where mine came from Mexico. No matter how much you want to turn the clock to that "perferct America" the simple truth is you can't. Thank God, because while you were having your barbeques and "socials", my ancestors were being mistreated and abused. While you were daydreaming about what you were going to do in college, my ancestors were being told not to even think about college because they were only good for using the pick and shovel. Now,one hundred years later, what are my children facing? It's a diffrent kind of world, and yet somewhat similiar. We definately need order in the border, order in our country, so we can stabalize our economy.Last thing, don't you dare look down at me! I may be smaller in build or height, or darker in color but I am your equal. Make no mistake in thinking that I am not. Everytime you haven't is when I've pulled ahead. United we stand.

ok that is so racist just because they can get better jobs than you and they dont spend all their time at home making racist websites and jacking off to star wars doesnt mean their notas good as us if fact their better that us so why dont you stop whining about them and go get a girlfriend you loser!!!!!

WELL IM MEXICAN AND MEXICAN OR NOT WE ARE ALL PEPOLE!!!!! HOW WOULD YOU WHITE PEPOLE OUT THERE LIKE IT IF EVERYONE STARTED TALKING ALL THIS CRAP ABOUT YOU!!!!!!??????
NOT ALOT OF PEPOLE KNOW ENGLISH AND I DONT SEE HOW THAT MATTERS YOU GUYS ARE JUST BEING STUPID AND NEED TO GROW UP!!!!!!! YOU SOUND RALLY RACES!!!!!!

My GOD some of you people seriously lack mental capacity.

If it'd been people from France, I would have said, "French".

If it'd been people from Germany, I would have said, "Germans".

If it had been people from Africa, I would have said, "Africans".

If it had been people from Australia, I would have said, "Australians".

If it had been people from Canada, I would've said, "Mullet headed, tree hugging, communist, Soviet Canuckists." (Just kidding. [I love Canadians.])

What, pray tell, does any of that have to do with RACE? ("Mexican" isn't even a race, for God's sake.) The people in this thread who have projected racial interpretations upon my post are not merely wrong, but provide some sorry examples of human intellect.

Further, those who have interpreted my post in a way that denigrates Mexicans, are also people who...how to put this nicely?...people who have trouble understanding things (was that polite enough?).

Nevertheless, this thread has provided a fun theater for watching pinheads on both sides of the issue hurling some pretty sad arguments.

I would first like to say that every person on this earth is created EQUAL. Plain and simple. If everyone would OPEN their eyes they would see that the color of skin is not of any importance; its the inner soul that counts. I grew up in a area in Virginia where there are all races and origins. In many of the middle class neighborhoods that i lived in, there were many inter racial couples. Seeing this never shocked me and really race never comes to mind until someone else brings it up and make it an issue.This may seem weird but what DID shock me was to go out of town somewhere and see just one race of people and not a mixture.People don't choose the race that they want to be when they are born,If that was the case all white people would want to be tan LIKE MEXICANS, blacks would want to be lighter like MEXICANS... get the picture? Im a black female and i love my race, my daughter is bi racial (filippino) my son is also bi racial (mexican), not to mention the wives and husbands of my sibilings...my family is a rainbow of colors and I LOVE IT!!! WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

Mexicans need to go to and stay in Mexico.
The USA has too many now.
When they tried the big boycott here in LA it was the greatest!! It was so nice to drive on the freeways and not have them clogged by a bunch of no license illegals with pickups dropping ladders and paint buckets!!!!!!!!

STAY OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS AND EMERGENCY ROOMS!!

I HEAR ABOUT BROWN PRIDE BUT YOU DON'T SEEM
TO HAVE ANY PRIDE AND ARE COMING UP HERE
TO GET ALL THE FREEBIES YOU CAN GRAB!!!

INCLUDING BREAKING INTO MY DAUGHTER'S CAR!!

WHERE IS THE PRIDE WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN FLUSH YOUR USED TOILET PAPER AND THROW IT ON THE FLOOR IN THE PUBLIC RESTROOM?

WHERE IS THE PRIDE WHEN YOU LOWRIDE AND TALK CRAP WHEN YOU ARE I THE BIG GROUP?

WHERE IS THE PRIDE WHEN YOU COMMIT A FELONY JUST TO BE HERE IN THE USA?

THE USA OWES YOU NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!
GO BACK NOW you bunch of FREELOADERS!!!

I have NO problem with Mexicans.. I am mixed of hispanic (Panamanian) descent and I see nothing wrong with Mexicans...When they cat call I just ignore it, I don't get offended..It's different in our culture, when they do that they are just flirting, it's not anything to be afraid of...Mexicans come here and work hard to support their families..I had long-term relationship with a Mexican man and he was wondeful, and treated me like a queen, but unfourtunatley he passed away in a car accident..He and his whole family were great people, and I get very offended when people talk about Mexicans like that. We all came from GOD and we need to treat everyone with respect that they deserve..I wish some Americans werent so close-minded...Get cultured and learn about others before you judge..Technically everyone in this country immigrated from another, so who are you to say who can come in and who can't?
THANKS
God Bless

^---that could not have been (reasonably) directed to me, since it's defending Mexicans, and I've not said anything which would give any reasonable person an opportunity to defend them (no offence, thus no defense possible). But, I would like to address this last question:

"...so who are you to say who can come in and who can't?"

Answer: A United States citizen.

Thanks for asking.

Your all dumb, don't talk about immigration at all because your all dam immigrants. How and the hell do you think any of you came in the first place. You should be happy that the mexicans take the jobs your lazy asses don't want and its not just mexican men who bark at you, its all men. All the men that come at me are white anyways. Get a life and focus on your dreams not the enigmas of society.

Mexican people are people too. Don't prejudge teh situation yet help those in need.Do you ever say anything about the asian's coming to America where there more asians in the us now than mexicas.

^---The term "Asian" does not describe the citizens of a specific country.

You're not even addressing the subject of this thread.

Its sad to me that such a great invention as the internet has been utterly destroyed by racist bigots such as yourselves. What's your cultural lineage? Is the family tree a long pole with no branches and all Native American roots? Something tells me no. Wake up! They don't call the U.S. the melting pot for nothing. This neo-nazism is clearly some form of repression for other issues within yourself. If you don't like seeing all the Mexicans at CostCo then do us all a favor and stay home. Afterall, this is NORTH America, one among many of the Americas. -- There are a few of them on the map. You know, North, South, Central, Latin... wow, look at that. The majority of those AMERICANS speak Spanish. Por favor, callate maldito estupido. And, I'm not even Mexican...

Shannon, your reading comprehension skills are beneath horrible.

I'm African-American and get really sick of seeing this whole "Your racist if you oppose illegal immigrants" mentality. I'm not a racist and I oppose all illegal immigrants. Why do I oppose illegal immigrants? Because most of them come here not to be Americans, but to feed off of the prosperity that we Americans have created for ourselves. If they were coming here to be Americans they would freely and happily adopt American culture and integrate into our society. Do you know how easy it is today to learn english compared to 100 years ago? Yet these new "Immigrants" refuse to learn english. Compare that to immigrants who came here over 100 years ago that happily learned english even though it was 100 times harder to learn a new language back then. These people come here because they are trying to escape poverty, but they refuse to give up the culture that created their poverty in the first place. It makes absolutley no sense...

mexicans go to hell

Before you racist people even say a word, I want you to look at your history. YOU CAME FROM ENGLAND! Whose land did you take in a hostile takeover? THE INDIAN'S! Don't you think they were doing the same thing you are doing? Thi
