Racism is driving immigration issue, some Mexicans say

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.

Racism is La Raza demanding blacks and whites learn Spanish.

Yup. And I really get annoyed when I am berated by someone, whom I'm trying to help, when I don't speak Spanish.

It's been known to happen. Fortunately once, but that was once too many.

I agree 100%. We're all racists here. Why would you want to move to such a racist country? How about boycotting all illegal travel to the US from Mexico until we mend our racist ways?

Crying racist is the first refuge of illegal criminal scoundrels.

I wonder what Mexicans feel is the reason their own country stops Central American migrants from crossing their own Southern border?

Mexicans will say anything, since they have no rational or legal arguments for criminal immigration.
The latin 'muslims', hardly as association worth aspiring to.

Of course it's absurd; simply the immigration version of the famous Iraqi "Baby Milk Factory". Puerile propaganda.

Using terms like “Racism” is just away to stop discussion on the real issues. This is a liberal socialist trick to use name calling or saying something can’t be done to take the issues off the table. Besides, who is more racists Mexico that will not let anyone but native born to own property or American that is a melting pot. WE as Americans have to stand up to this propagandist socialist assault on us. Racism or who owned the property 150 years ago is IRRELEVANT. The issue is that people that have NO RIGHT to be in the USA are making demands on America. It would be as if you were waiting for a bus and watched as people got on the bus through the back door with out paying. HOW would you feel if the bus driver says that the bus is full and to wait for the next one? Or what if your already on the bus and those that come in the back door start coughing, and going thought the bus stealing purses and wallets. Would you be a racist to ask the bus driver to kick this criminals off the bus?

To say that We can’t (build a wall, kick out 12 million, stop those seeking a better life) are ways to take issues off the table. The response is why not or how many can we deport?

"lower class Americans"

I really think you need to define the above a bit more.

Do you mean people on the lower end of the income scale, who can't get hired at low wage jobs or find safe, decent places for their families to live, because illegal aliens are now the preferred employees and tenants of low income jobs and substandard but affordable housing?

Do you mean "those" kind of people?

"Less than 5% of Mexico's population is of European descent."


That sounds like the percentage of the corrupt, wealthy, elite running the country for there own benefit while they export their poverty to the US as a "safety valve".

When I say "lower class", I don't mean people of little means, I mean the type of folks who walk around wearing stained wife beaters, while the women sit on the porch in a housecoat and rollers, cursing at the world. Many of the folks I went to school with as a child would've been considered "middle class" but were VERY low class in their attitudes toward others.

I asked a couple of Mexican friends I have (legals) if the flood gates were to be open tomorrow and every poor immigrant (Somalia's) (Haitians) etc. were allowed in, would that be ok with all the illegal workers here from Mexico?.......The answer I got back was hilarious, they said '' The Mexican illegals would be undercut cause these new immigrants coming in would be willing to work for nearly nothing and the Mexicans would be mad cause all their work would dry up. They would demand these new immigrants get sent home cause this would be unfair to them.......... I ask you guys?..Who is racist now?!

Bottom line is mexicans are COWARDS AND Too STUPID TO ORGANIZE REVOLUTION AGAINST THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. Their government imprisons or shoots anyone who confronts them. They believe US is more stupid, gullible and easier to lie to. US just has to get tough with these "GUTLESS WONDERS" or we will have them all in this country for " FREE ROOM BOARD, RETIREMENT and LAND (SUING US CITIZENS FOR POOR TREATMENT IN OUR OWN COURTS).

We all know they are parasites, so does their government.
