It really is acceptable in some of their countries:

In addition to the more permissive and irresponsible attitudes on drinking and driving held by many Hispanic illegal aliens, the Washington Post reported in a June 2002 article, In Mexico, an Unpunished Crime, there is a “machismo culture,” instilled through what is learned in the home, school and church, which has allowed many men to “believe they are superior and dominant, and that women are an object.” The article goes on, “when it comes to punishing sexual violence against women, surprisingly little has changed in a century. In many parts of Mexico, the penalty for stealing a cow is harsher than the punishment for rape.”

As reported in a VDARE article, Mexican Sexual Diversity, “the social status of women in some rural areas is not much better than the Taliban level, where females have no civil rights and are essentially slaves for men.” As an example, a kind of kidnap-for-sex custom remains legal in Oaxaca, a southern state of Mexico. In “Oaxaca last summer, the one-year-old, government-funded Oaxacan Women’s Institute persuaded the legislature to pass heavy criminal penalties against a practice known as ‘rapto.’ Laws in most Mexican states define rapto as a case where a man kidnaps a woman not for ransom, but with the intent of marrying her or to satisfy his “erotic sexual desire.” The new law championed by the women’s group established penalties of at least 10 years in prison. But in March, the state legislature reversed itself and again made the practice a minor infraction. A key legislator - a man - argued for the reduction, calling the practice harmless and ‘romantic.’”

The “machismo culture” is not just a Mexican attribute. As noted in Violence against women in South Asian countries “Rigid cultures and patriarchal attitudes which devalue the role of women, result in the wide spread occurrence of violence against women. The family structure, in which the man is the undisputed ruler of the household, and activities within the family are seen as private, allows violence to occur at home. As well as traditional forms of violence such as wife-battering and sexual assault, women in these countries are also exposed to dowry crimes such as bride burning, kidnapping for the purposes of prostitution, and “honor killings.” Laws permit discrimination against women and discourage reporting of violent acts.”

Is this the attitude we want to be importing into the USA?

For detailed descriptions of just some of the crimes committed by illegal aliens, often due to the machismo culture, go back up to the crime section and start clicking on just a few of the “sex crimes links” or see Immigrations Human Cost, Victims of Illegal Aliens and Read This.

“Is this the attitude we want to be importing into the USA?”

Mexico’s own president admitted it.

Calderon Cites “Culture of Machismo”
By Rohini Gupta
Thursday, November 29 1:21 am EST

Speaking at a Mexico City event to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, President Calderon addressed what he called Mexico’s “culture of machismo,” acknowledging that millions of women face abuse and workplace discrimination despite the passage of laws targeting gender inequities and violence against women.

Earlier this year, Mexico enacted a law obligating authorities to prevent, punish, and eradicate violence against women, but only a handful of states have formally adopted the measure thus far. This week, Calderon signed an additional law aimed at preventing and punishing the trafficking and enslavement of women and children.

Violence against women in Mexico has gained international attention

...just part of the culture. That is also why they don’t see anything wrong with approaching 10, 11, or 12 years old. A friend in Tennessee had a girl of twelve who was CONSTANTLY ‘hit on’ by local Mexican migrant workers...on another occasion; we were in a ‘Mexican’ waitress with friends; and the Mexican waiter kept stroking the hair of my friends’ seven year old daughter. She’s a lib; so she didn’t do anything. The husband wasn’t around...
