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.
I don't "care" what their motivations might have been for coming here, or how good they have been since they got here. We either have the rule of law, or we don't.
Whoops—not sure how it happened, but post 200 was supposed to be to “servant675”’s address.
Sir:
It is not being un-Christian to take a stand against a barbarian invasion. These people do not share our values nor do they hold this nation and its laws in their esteem. They are not here for citizenship; they do not wish to join our culture and our nation and raise it above the others in the world; they are here for loot, plain and simple.
As for “bigotry,” last time I checked “Hispanics” were lumped in with “Caucasians” for the purposes of the Census; The “Hispanic” race is a creation of Marxists attempting to divide our society so that it may be reduced and conquered.
Furthermore, it is not “bigotry” to be disposed against a culture, the behavior it entails, and the people that follow it. The lack of opportunity in their nations is largely a product of their own corrupt culture and I do not wish to see it imported here. Mexico is one of the wealthiest nations on Earth - it is the corruption of Mexican culture that accounts for the lack of opportunity in that benighted country.
While I find your willingness to redistribute the wealth of others to these invaders distressing, I find your accusation of bigotry against people who wish to defend their homeland, their culture and their way of life enraging! WE are not the ones forming groups like “La Raza” - The Race, whose motto is “For those within the Race, all; for those outside the Race, nothing” or MeCHa - a revolutionary organization dedicated re-conquering the American Southwest.
In the National Parks, despite what compassion may incline you to do, the message is “Don’t Feed the Bears.” To you, sir, I say “Don’t Feed the Illegals.”
Sorry if we’ve offended your sensibilities, Vince.
BTW, I’m not a bigot — I’m a patriot of the sovereign and law-based United States of America.
It’s no joke.

Is Lexington’s example relevant here? Or are they just not the ‘good’ Mexicans you wrote of?
The world is made up of immigrants, but the ones in the past which came to America were often turned back for not passing medical exams or they went back because there was no free housing, medical, welfare and so forth.
The problem today is each illegal child is about $14,000 a year to educate.
There is NO WAY illegals employed here are paying anywhere near the taxes to pay for the services they use.
I sure don’t call the TB and other diseases any form of benefits.
Plus with Mexico next door, there is no real desire often to want to become Mexican.
Even though I was born here, I have a great inside into the sh!t happening in Mexico and the floodgates of illegals here by the millions.
We can only do so much.
Only handle so much.
I don’t know if you volunteer to take 50 illegals in your home in as a sign of support, but the budget estimates of the most recent immigration reform said it would still increase the flood of illegals here and cost us 2 trillion to pay for these people’s needs.
Thou shall not covet they neighbors goods!
