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.
“mexicans are good people”
I have no doubt that many mexicans are good people. It is the ones who are here ILLEGALLY that I have doubts about. The local newspaper ran a headline that homicides were about double from this time last year and proceeded to give names of those involved—most of the names were hispanic. Of course, it didn’t mention wether they were here legally or not—I wonder why.
good job.
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.
