So are Poles.
So are Americans - so?
That's a rather prejudiced, blanket statement. I would bet that the truth is closer to that there are good and nice Mexicans, and there are bad ones...just as any other country has. Now the ones that have illegally entered the US are criminals...which normally isn't considered a trait of a "good" person...so perhaps they're not counting the illegals as Mexicans any longer, although to be accurate that remains the nationality of the majority of the illegal aliens...hence the title premise is proved false.
Let’s see, how would I describe this article? Maybe if I swallowed about a quart of pancake syrup, then barfed it up......ya, that’s it.
So are you Vincent Bemowski? Every post you've ever made here on FreeRepublic in an article written by Vincent Bemowski.
Regardless, amnesty is not a reasonable solution. This editorial is a load of garbage.
If you want open borders, then end entitlement spending, e.g. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, etc. It’s either that, or declare your support for the rest of the world to move here.
Yeah, but what about the criminal illegal alien Mexicans?
Good for Mexico.
Look, I can understand the appeal of the position of wanting people to have a safe and better life, but why doesn’t this catholic site spend some time encouraging Mexicans to fight for change in Mexico?
LOL, you win. ^_^

Know what.... you are right. Mexicans are good people. So, how about they be as good as they want IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY and leave ours to US!
That being the case, they must have gotten that way at least partly because of the environment in their native land.
Then why do tens of millions of them break the law and come to the US illegally? That doesn't sound like deep faith to me. Something about rendering to Caesar...
Mexicans are good. They deserve amnesty. I'm convinced.
Do I need a sarcasm tag? Yes, maybe I do. /sarc
No one is saying the Mexican’s are Not Good People.What we’re saying is that the Mexicans belong in Mexico,unless they wish to come here legally and become an American Citizen. Otherwise they should stay home.
The issue isn't whether Mexicans are "good" or "bad": the issue is whether we want our country to be overwhelmed by an alien langauge, culture and value system. We have significant parts of our country that have become a completely different nation and those parts are staying that way, not becoming American.
Illegal immigration is exactly that - illegal. People willing to break laws to get into this country are starting off with criminal activities, a very good definition of "bad".
Our government refuses to see that the only solution is to seal the damn border and THEN talk about what we do with the mass of invaders we have on our hands. (Learning english would be an important start).
I have lost all faith in President Bush with his lackluster leadership in this issue.
Prove it.
Unlike some other Americans, many Mexican Americans are good people who are good and possess a deep faith in Almighty God. Therefore they deserve to be treated with compassion & respect.
So only people who have a deep faith are worthy of compassion and respect? In that case, how would on ever bring a non-believer to God?
This sounds like a letter to the editor written by a fifth-grader for a school social studies assignment.
