Unlike many here I do not have a hatred towards the Mexican people. The Mexican government is another story however. I can not blame a man for wanting to better himself and care for his family. All of my Mexican friends are hard working people.

Ah yes, the last resort of the brain-dead.  "I'm not a racist like other people."

So what you're saying is...

You think this nation would be superior if only a Mexican style government could take form here.  Nothing racist about that...
You think this nation is better off with Mexican nationals living here than U.S. citizens.  Nothing racist about that...
You do not support the rule of law.  Nothing unwholesome about that...
You think many trillions of dollars in infrastructure should be sceded back to Mexico since we unfairly occupied the territory after the Mexican American war, which we won, and after paying cash for it as well.  That make sense, to someone I'm sure...
In the interim you think we should pour billions of dollars into a support fund for foreign nationals.  Can't argue with that...
You think our American public school children should sit in class reading for the first three years of their eduction so the children who don't know English can catch up.
You think we should put up with crime statistics that are upwards of 400% higher for illegal immigrants than they are for U.S. citizens.

You are one f'd up sicko.

BTW, if I hate Mexicans so much, why is my wife, my sister-in-law and my dauther-in-law of Mexican heritage?  A.H.

Odd. I didn't see one single post that was hateful or about hate until yours.

I can not blame a man for wanting to better himself and care for his family.

No, but I can blame him when he knowingly breaks the law.

All of my Mexican friends are hard working people.

Mine too. They also all speak perfect English from the eight year old to the eighty year old.

So your point is....what?

Then we have lots of Bank Robbers, that you would let out of jail? I think they are only seeking a better life too.

I don't think many here hate the Mexican people. I think what you are hearing is absolute frustration at a border out of control and no relief in sight. I find myself thinking horrible thoughts about how to close the border. It is just frustration, don't read more into than that. I have lived here many years and have seen a friendly border turn into a war zone. I do not think the citizens of another country should look at our country and our citizens as a solution to their problems. It is unfair to our people and if things don't drastically change we will end up in the same boat they are. You can only save a drowning man if you don't get sucked under yourself.

This has nothing to do with hate. It's an invasion. An act of war. The Mexican military with weapons! What part of 2+2=4 don't you get?

[Wilhelm Tell]

The issue is much bigger than desperate people looking for work. The Mexican military is helping drug gangs smuggle their goods and commit acts of violence. It has been that way a long time in Mexico and now the violence is spilling over into the U.S.

I do not support anyone bettering themselves using my funds.

I have no "hatred" toward those who come from the nation of Mexico any more than I "hate" the French. If you're implying that those who wish our border to be properly secured and defended are somehow racist, then you are an idiot. First, it has nothing to do with race. Second, Mexican is not a race any more than French is a race.

I can not blame a man for wanting to better himself and care for his family.

So, if a bank robber only needs the money to "better himself and care for his family" then it is OK with you for him to rob banks?

[Plain Old American]

I can not blame a man for wanting to better himself and care for his family. But I can blame him for intentionally violating the laws of this country.

[wolfcreek]

I don't believe 'Hate' is an issue here. ( although some may) Ever see the movie 'Red Dawn'? They walked right up through Mexico and invaded our asses. Don't play the 'Hate card', that's not at all what this is about!

[Czar]

"Unlike many here I do not have a hatred towards the Mexican people."

Name just a few of the "many".

"I can not blame a man for wanting to better himself and care for his family."

The same tired old refrain we've been hearing on these threads from the OBL/cheap labor lobby quislings for years. Nobody's buying it.

So, in your opinion, it's OK to break laws, as long as you are bettering yourself or caring for your family.
