Americans of Mexican heritage what do you all think about illegals?
Answer:
Mexicans, like all Hispanics, are deeply divided along racial lines.
Since white Hispanics are wealthy and can enter the USA legally, while mestizo, indian, black and mulatto Hispanics have to enter illegally, the opinions are sharply divided depending on the person's skin color.
A white Hispanic will despise illegals, not so much because they are illegal but because in our Latin countries whites hate all other groups. A non-white Hispanic is more likely to understand the situation of the other non-white Hispanics.
Most legal hispanic Americas wish like the rest of us that we never let them in ,,in the first place
They love illegals because if they didn't that would make them traitors to Mexico.
my niece is from American Mexican decent, her father said we should never of let them in. they make all Mexicans look bad.
Everybody was once an immigrant. They have a right to make a living, just like everyone else.
They also know how to cook delicious food!!! YUM;P
If I give the answer I would like to give, I would probably get a TOS violation.
I can't believe I'm actually going to say it but....I agree with "anti's suck" on this one. He should get best answer, definitely. He knows what's up...
Unless you are Native American, YOU ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS! It makes me mad when all of these ignorant people talk bad about mexicans. Yes I believe EVERYONE who lives and works in the country should be legal and speak english (by the way, I am full blooded first generation mexican american), but our ancestors are just a few miles away! It's harder to travel by ship or plane without paperwork, so its far easier for mexicans to get here illegally. All they want is to find a better life, and they do the jobs no one else wants! They wash dishes, mow lawns, pick your food, clean your houses, watch YOUR children!! I DO think everyone should be here legally, but they should also make it EASIER and LESS EXPENSIVE, to do so. So, until EVERYONE stops going to Taco Bell because the have to have their Nachos Bel Grande, no one can talk bad about mexicans, after all, WE WERE HERE FIRST! Calfornia and almost every city is derived from Spanish, but we were kicked out by the "white man". Don't be mad because we want it back.
I notice that most of the answers are NOT by Americans of Mexican heritage here. What's up with that? Somebody not understand when a question is NOT directed at them?
Also, a little side note. I have noticed that Antis Suck is ILLEGAL from all of his other posts. What makes him think we care one fig for his ILLEGAL INVADER opinions?
The flat out facts are that we need to expell ALL ILLEGALS regardless of where they came from. I welcome legal immigrants who have the respect for our laws to do things the right way.
I am so sick of these people who say that illegals wash our dishes, mow our lawns, watch our children, etc. I have always had to do my own housework and never had to hire an illegal to do it. Interestingly enough, I know a lot of Mexicans who hire housekeepers because manual labor is so cheap in Mexico and they exploit their own people.
The only reason most towns in California have Spanish names is because the region was conquered by Spain, not because the land originally belonged to Mexico.
Well, over 40% of Latino voters voted for proposition 200 in Arizona, which denied benefits to illegals. There have been polls on this. They overwhelmingly think illegal immigration is a serious problem. The difference in demographic results seem to be what to do with those here, and even there a large minority want them deported.
Why is my (red) race always dragged into this BS? It is also very silly to see people bring up the Spanish names of states, and other parts of this country that was once conquered by----Spain. Are they still making people who are unaware that the Spaniards are white? *shakes my head*
The Mexican-Americans who work for my business, apparently see illegals as an economic threat. Coyotes have tried to negotiate deals to replace all of the American employees with cash-only illegals, these deals were always refused. Every time an illegal or a coyote sets foot on my land, the Mexican-American employees are more anxious to deal with them, and they do a great job getting rid of them.
Well, i can't speak for myself, but i WILL say that my friends, family members, and acquaintances who are hispanic, tell me they are ANTI-illegal themselves!!!
They said they are ASHAMED of these ILLEGALS coming here and DEMANDING that we give them 'rights' that they are NOT entitled to!!!
My friends and family WAITED, obeyed our laws, and came here LEGALLY!!! And, they DO NOT like it that the illegals CHEATED to get here!!!
