Latinos, what is the driving force that brings so many to the U.S.?
Answer:
Laziness and Cowardice.
i wondered myself why. maybe a re-taking of the north land. lol spain is trying to re-rise.
I don't blame Mexicans, ANY poor country next to ANY rich country would try to do the same. Of course not everyone would want to move but still many would for a hope of a brighter future.
The main fault lies in Americas immigration control and policies and not the individuals coming here.
I'm Latino, and I was born in the U.S.
Believe it or not, NOT ALL Latinos are immigrants.
If job weren't illegally offered, few would enter illegally.
Go after the cheap bastards giving your jobs to thse who, through no fault of their own, need to be underpaid rather than have no job at all. Then all of us can receive a proper wage and those who enter can do so legally and take legal jobs.
Corruption of government, not making enough to pay for daily living (even when living with a dozen family members). It's mostly economic--most people would rather be where they're from if they had the same opportunities there.
Poverty and crime and corruption in their own country.
Thank you for being serious and respectful with your question. In my life in Guatemala I was one of the people who were in the middle class, striving not to fall into poverty. I had enough money to have two television sets with cable, electricity, water, telephone, an old but functioning car, and enough food for every day. It was through some contacts I had in the United States that my family and I moved to America, therefore having to start all over again.
You are right that it is really hard to leave your family and friends, but also you see yourself manipulated by the conditions. While living there, I was driving a 1980 Honda Civic and lived in a house with a VERY small garden in front and a diminutive patio. Even if you are raised like that, you don't ever fully enjoy such conditions. It was the feeling of improvement that convinced me to come, and besides I could also give a helping hand to those whom I love in my home land. I also understand when people emigrate illegally, since they are in far worse conditions than I was, and don't have the money, time, education, or patience to do things legally.
Sometimes they don't have a choice, it's just an act of survival like stealing food when you're hungry. It may be a crime, but most of them don't do it with the intention of hurting anyone. By the contrary, they only want to give their families a decent life. Of course, you have people that only want to take advantage of the system, and they should be punished and kicked out. But I will never forget about those people who are doing their best to improve their living conditions just because some other dumb idiot is living off of welfare.
How you ever seen any actual pictures of people there straving, I for one never have. If they would stop bringing so many kids into this world they could actually fix Mexico. But instead if they are that poor and hungry why would any human being decide bringing in more people to suffer the same future is a good thing is beyond me. These people would have a lot if they would just stop increasing their problems. Instead their choices have to become our problem. With the new slogan tearing families apart being shouted from one side of the earth to the next .The thing, I've, notice is no one steps forward to accept responsibility for his/her actions. It's easier to use kids as pawns to justify any criminal behavior. Our country is looking more and more like Mexico. Think I'll have me about 10 kids and go on a crime spree.Crime does pay!
Ambition. Most have enough to eat and a roof over their head, but they are not content and they know that if they just travel a few thousand miles, they can have much more. Same as for people who travel to a state that has more job opportunities. They just sacrifice more, so it would seem their situation must be really bad, but actually most of them were not homeless or persecuted or starving to death. They just wanted more.
For a better quality of life...yea right...to live of tax payers...enough is enough...I mean if the poor keep coming here, isnt our country eventually going to be like thiers?..Wake up America

You will get your answer from this riddle......
"What does a fat white women and a brick have in common?"
"They will both most likely get laid by a Spicc" So it means
Work and fat white girls
Think i answered this once but don't mind answering it again,since it was asked so respectfully. I don't remember much of life in my homeland because I was brought into the U.S when i wasn't even a year old. But have gone back to visit on many occasions,so know what life is like there and the reasons my parents left. My father was a farmer back in his homeland just like his father and everyone before him.Unlike many of the other farmers there my father was one of the few lucky ones because he owned some land to plant his crops on instead of having to rent from someone one. Money was tight back then because he didn't have any way of getting money to get the material he needed to plant his crops and if it happened his crops failed then he was pushed into major debt with the people he had borrowed from and the bank. And then when I was born (btw not all mexicans have 10 kids,only child here) it became tougher. He now had a family to take care of and I was born premature so that added extra hospital bills wich he couldn't afford. He also saw what the future held for girls in the small town he lived in. Most of them would get married by the time they were 15 sometimes to guys who were 20 yrs older than them and he didn't wish that for me. He didn't even finish elementary school and barely knows how to write and can't read (in spanish,much less in english),but wanted me to finish school and be a professional. And so he decided the best chance I had to do that was in the U.S,and so he immigrated here and saved enough money to later bring me and my mom here. They both worked hard and never asked for any handouts and later we all became naturalized citizens.And well thanks to their hard work I will soon be graduating from law school.
