It is very important to remember that unlike Black Americans, bigotry against Mexican Americans is still not being fully addressed.
Amnesty should continue to be part of our approach when attempting to solve our immigration problems with Mexico. The contributions hard-working Mexican Americans make to our society easily wipe out any so-called "free benefits" legal or non-legal immigrants may obtain through local, state, and federal programs.
Unlike some other Americans, many Mexican Americans are good people who possess a deep faith in Almighty God. Therefore they deserve to be treated with compassion & respect. In addition, we should double or triple the number of immigrants allowed on an annual basis with our friends from Mexico.
We must not forget that it is only with great difficulty & through hard work at low-paying jobs few other Americans want that many Mexicans eventually become citizens of the United States. It truly a blessing that so many Mexicans seek the opportunities the USA offers, & we should be honored to receive them in greater numbers into our country.
Exactly. I can't believe people still make ignorant sweeping generalizations like this. Does the writer know every Mexican? What an idiotic thing to say.
I'm throwing the BS flag on your entire post. If you want increased immigration, make the case.
Most conservatives are past being guilted, because we've been guilted by experts...the left...for many years. Those who oppose W's plan have many honest and reasonable concerns. Address those, instead of questioning their motives.
For anyone with half a brain, the "venom and hostility" should be easy to understand...it's well stated in the title of another thread...Su Casa es Mi Casa. You're getting the reception you've earned. Stop whining about it.
As a side note...isn't it interesting how the left's revulsion regarding the mixing of politics and religion is limited to...say...those on the right like Jerry Falwell?
I think it's all about gov't dollars. At any rate, it sure isn't about following the bible, or they wouldn't be encouraging criminals to steal from us.
There won’t be a fence without one, so you want the border to stay open? I don’t follow your logic.
LOL. Good one!
I want ENFORCEMENT. NOTHING else!! At least for now.
Severely fine employers of illegals, yank ALL public benefits, and close the borders. Make it VERY unpleasant and they will go HOME.
How silly to justify the deterioration of our communities just so a few million dirt-poor people can come in and move up from a donkey and a cobbled-together two-wheeled cart only to park their Bondo-bargain Hooptys in the front yards next door to Ma and Pa Kettle right when they are settling back in their retirement rockers on the front porch.
I don't give a damn what color you are as long as you are here legally. If not GTFO.
Muslims are the only group I cannot deal with b/c of their bloodthirsty gutter religion.
Why drag the Black man into this? If you must, how about address the fact that Blacks are being affected by the job stealing illegals. There, I said it - job stealing illegals. That was very freeing. Some of these writers should try it.
GOOD CATCH!!
Mexicans may be overly great but their history of establishing and running a representaionally governed nation is rather spotty.
Why should we want that culture imported here en masse and illegally.
It defies reason.
This is a consequence of political correctness and white guilt.
The WWII generation would never have allowed such follow and for sure not out of guilt.
Since this thread is about Mexican Nationals I will choose to address the Mexican side, however I will say that not all illegals are mexicans, just many are.
Okay, so you think that the reason people came over here from mexico and Ireland during the potato famine are the same. Please explain why large groups of these people gather in massive groups revolt and bear no loyalty to the US, those that do only give it as a token one. The Irish when the Civil War began VOLUNTEERED by the millions into the union army, many were cut down by fire from their fellow americans but in the end they all fought for eachother. These Mexican Nationals are not here to fight for america, they are here for themselves and themselves only. Illegals that join the armed forces are given amnesty that’s the only time it’s acceptable. In my opinion if an illegal is not willing to fight for the preservation of the Consitution and the Republic which it protects, then they are just Bravo Sierraing.
My analysis differs simply because Mexico is not poor it’s a simple fact that there is a very cruel and well entrenched aristocracy within Mexico. This is Mexico’s fault not our own, this must be FIXED by Mexico, not by sending Mexico money to be pocketed. Unless you are a member of the Mexican Elite you can’t get ahead, this is wrong but guess what that’s the job of Mexico to fix.
Sending money back to Mexico to be taxed by to aristocracy is not going to help the overall situtation. All your doing is importing the problem. There is no famine in Mexico, just a government that needs to be overthrown and a population being shipped out to delay it.
Wow. More than 150 responses to you, and you have yet to answer a single one.
And that's the way it will be unless we close the borders. The Irish were not about to hop on a death ship and run back home.
Okay, then we probably substantially agree. But, come on, there really is not a fair comparison to others who have come to America and become Americans. This wave is going to stay loyal to Mexico, even voting in both countries. It really is different.
Nicely put.
