What you are seeing on the street does not represent all Mexican American thought. There are many divergent opinions out there in that ethnic community.

Man, we definitely know that!

It's all about illegals, not Mexicans, OK!

In your case with your ties, I can understand where you come from.

I live in Virginia and I've got some cool Mexican friends who are not illegal. I don't want them deported.

In my case (I speak for no other FReeper or 'civilian' :-)) I've been researching a lot of things for a lot of years when it comes to geopolitics and probably came off as extreme in my posts.

Our country was founded on 'extremism'.

There is a lot of frustration with regular folks because what The Founders envisioned has been hijacked.

That's my perspective anyway.

Welcome to FreeRepublic and I hope we can educate each other.

are they mexican or American? that's where the problem lies, with all the "minority" groups that put another country's heritage over their American heritage.

I grew up and lived alot of my life in the southwest. I have many friends of Mexican descent. I don't have a problem understanding that this is not a legal immigrant issue. Why do so many other people?
