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.
Right On! The author of this article is trying to get people emotive and acquiesce to a situation which will ultimately destroy us.
What laws are you getting around?
If they're not trying to assimilate now when they're here illegally, what makes you think they'll do it after the gov't gives their lawbreaking a pass?
An almost completely ignored part of this whole debacle.
The author seems a bit confused. The title proclaims that Mexicans are good people, but the article itself doesn’t talk about Mexicans. Instead, the writer talks about Americans of Mexican decent. The only way to explain this, other than ignorance, is to assume that the author feels that those of Mexican decent cannot ever become truly American; a bigoted statement on the author’s part, to be sure, but not uncommon within the Democrat Party.
Exactly! Bigots my ass. Writers like this are really the bigots against us.
Well said.
I would definitely support an amendment to further decrease the numbers allowed if we get it past the lobbyists. It would be even better if the number went to zero at some point but I'm sure that's just a fantasy.
It they whole thing might go over better if people got some kind of guarantee of the full fence..like if it's not built to our liking the numbers allowed will decrease for every year it's not done.
“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.”
So are at least 75% of Anglo-Americans.
Churches who lobby on purely political issues should be taxed like ANY other PAC.
Because I've seen the young ones getting their "indoctrination" in our schools like the rest of our poor children. Despite all the liberal baloney they get they are still expected to follow in line and obey the rules. And they speak excellent English, unlike their parents.
Common sense! We need more of it.
Nobody says Mexicans aren’t good people.
Illegal Aliens regardless of race are lawbreakers. Good or not they entered this country illegally and should be returned to their country of origin.
Mexican
Iraqi
French
Canadian
or English.
Go home and come back LEGALLY!
Got it now?
Why Can’t they be good people in Mexico?
Because the system there is so completely corrupt that they can barely feed their kids.
Doesn’t make it right that they come HERE,thats for sure.But any movement to”change”Mexico would probably be a Marxist movement like the Zapatistas or the insurgents last year in Oaxaca.
Very little middle ground.The average Mexican is either faced with trying to eke out a living in Mexico,join a “revolutionary”movement or migrate to El Norte.
Illegals “in the shadows” ,hurl, are not assimilating now or trying to blend in, because they do not fear our laws. And when they are given amnesty, they will fear our laws less. It works that way when you enable criminals.
People are not interchangeable. Mexicans are unique, and so are the well-rooted peoples of America. There is no reason to try to replace the one with the other in the domains of either. The idea of an interchangeable ethnicity is an insult to every people, but it has been aggressively promoted for the last sixty years by various Leftist groups and theorists, almost all of which have one thing in common: They favor a one world Government, which will suppress the independence of all nations. It is an objective that ought to be resisted with every means at our disposal.
