First, it is simply a nuance of the English language, not racism or nationalism. There is no way in English to express U.S. nationality as an adjective.

I know that's the problem with the word "America". I meant Mexico is part of the Americas because it was also part of this same New World land mass that is rich in resources and people from Europe came and settled it. Mexicans have their own part of the New World, just as US Americans and Canadians do.

There are some types of people from Mexico who are more suited to the American culture and way of life, who have learned English and have skills we need here but when it's massive migration of millions of people, it's because their part of the New World was destroyed by their culture and they believe they don't have to fix that but can just move in and take the wealth others created ---and still keep that culture.

I agree with you there. I think it's a classic case of a neighbor that envies your stuff, and they just want a piece of it, without necessarily having done anything to create that wealth. Here's the phat irony:

We've told these knuckledheads to stop flirting with socialist, Marxist, totalitarian, et al wet dreams and fantasies and embrace captialism, but in their infinite wisdom, they've refused to listen. Now, they're suffering horribly for it and still don't get it. Capitalism and freedom, with minimal government intervention, is what made this country the most powerful political, economic and military entity the Earth has ever seen.
