MEXICO CITY -- Roughly four out of 10 Mexicans believe racism is the reason Americans want to stop migrants from entering their country illegally, according to a poll published Thursday.
According to the survey sponsored by the Mexican newspaper El Universal and The Dallas Morning News, 43 percent of Mexicans attribute efforts to stop illegal migrants to racism.
The poll indicated seven percent of Mexicans believe their countrymen emigrate to the U.S. because of a lack of jobs in Mexico. Seventy-nine percent would be in favor of legalizing millions of undocumented migrants in the U.S.
The poll consisted of interviews with about 1,500 adults in early April. The newspapers say that the poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
The survey came as U.S. Congress debates several proposals. The proposals range from building a wall along the border and making illegal immigration a felony -- to approving temporary-worker programs and legalizing many of the 11 million undocumented migrants in the U.S. About 6 million of those are Mexicans.
What a crock of B.S. My brother-in-law is hispanic and we love him so much!!!!!! He is wonderful. And he resents the illegals as much as I do.
1. Only professionals or investors can immigrate to the country. No unskilled laborers will be allowed in. Investors must be able to invest at least 40,000 times the daily average wage. If they can't, they are not allowed in.
2. Immigrants may purchase property, but locations and availability will be limited. Ocean front property cannot be purchased by immigrants. It is exclusively for citizens born in the country.
3. Immigrants cannot vote nor can they be elected to any public office.
4. Immigrants cannot collect any type of government assistance.
5. Immigrants cannot protest the countries government, policies or president.
6. Immigrants cannot display a flag of a foreign country.
7. Immigrants who have illegally entered the country will be found and imprisoned.
Sound kind of harsh?
Well, these are laws that are currently part of the Immigration Laws of, you guessed it, MEXICO!!!
I'd hunch that they believe that it is their "right" to "claim" their land. Jobs or no jobs in Mexico. They (wrongfully) believe we are standing in what they say is Mexico.
"Shut up already" some Americans say.
Racism is La Raza demanding blacks and whites learn Spanish.
Never mind the fact that I am crashing their borders and disobeying immigration laws.
Pathetic.
I don't have anything against these Mexicans, as long as they don't move in next door or try to marry my daughter.
Those vatos are stealing Karl Rove's old material.
Mexicans are descendants of Europeans just like America. What race they talking about?
lol!
Many of these same people were squawking when Joseph Ratzinger was elected as Pope Benedict XVI last year.
There were reports on FR that many thought a Latino Cardinal should have been picked.
Nice "Catholic" attitude. No racism there
/sarc
If I can dig up the link, I'll provide.
Mexi'cons' admitting to being racist? I'm not surprised.
It would show force and our opinions to the House and Senate if American citizens could go out in the streets and protest...but we have to work to support their(Congress & the illegals)thieving, sorry butts.
Sound kind of harsh?
NO
Why does every body want to leave Mexico?
Could it be that the Governaments of Mexico, Central America and South America have created a culture of corruption, despair and poverty where there is no chance of ever escaping?
While the USA is the most desirable country to live and work, why aren't the laws dealing with illegal aliens respected, obeyed and enforce?
If we fail to enforce our laws, we are doomed to become a country just like Mexico!
Good thing they're not US voters...yet.
Not true. Less than 5% of Mexico's population is of European descent. Most are Amerindian or largely Amerindian with some European mixed in.
Calling Mexicans "Spanish" like some retards in America do is like calling a Jamaican "English."
Imagine the country as a house.
If you knock, and come in through the door, I'll welcome you.
But if you come in through the window, we got a problem!
