Mexicans in America
Who's to Blame?
Mexicans have become a big part of America, illegal Mexicans. There have been so many headlines in the lime light with mixed information that's left a lot of Americans with a bad taste in their mouth.
America's national security is even more vulnerable now with increased threats from abroad and the U.S./Mexico border is an open portal for destruction. It seems foolish to say that the U.S. can't do anything about people crossing the border illegally. Could Uncle Sam be hiding something?
Mexicans have been crossing over into the U.S. and working illegally even before the "Great Depression" in the 1930's. The U.S. government has had ample time to resolve a lot of the issues that Americans face today. There's a lot of misconceptions about the illegal Mexicans living in the country, but who is really at fault?
Mexico is an extremely poor country with few jobs and it's no wonder Mexicans come to America in search of work. Mexicans contribute so much to the economy, even though they send money back to families abroad. Mexicans live in America which means they still shop with American retailers. Mexicans have by far earned a right to be in the U.S. and yet they are systematically denied like clock work.
Mexicans do jobs that Americans don't want to do. Most are migrant workers making less than minimum wage, the farmers they work for often exploit them. It's not uncommon to see an old mobile home on a farm housing 20-30 Mexicans and the farmer usually charges anywhere from $25-$50 per person. Most Mexicans work for wages Americans wouldn't work for, the government is fully aware.
Mexicans are forced to use false documentation such as fake social securtiy numbers, green cards or driving licenses because they can't be legally obtained. Since the IRS began the issuance of ITIN's (Individual Tax Identification Numbers) some states will except the number along with proof of residency and a birth certificate to obtain a drivers license.
Before the issuance of ITIN's, many illegals were forced to claim numerous dependants throughout the year to decrease the amount of taxes deducted from their paychecks. One very common misconception is that Mexicans rely on government programs and live on welfare. Applicants submit documents that are verified to recieve government assistance. Mexicans simply don't have those types of documents and therefore can't abuse the system.
Americans and Mexicans are both suffering in the midst of it all. At the same time that many Mexicans are exploited, abused and cheated in the U.S. there are others in a different boat. The lack of security at the border lets in the good and the bad. Mexicans are even on the FBI's top ten most wanted list. How easy is it to catch someone who has no record of existance in a country?
Illegal Mexicans pay taxes in communities just like Americans, some own businesses and yet they literally have no rights.No matter what personal feeling people seem to have about the illegals, all angles of the equation agree on one thing; tighter security at the border, implementing rights for illegals residing in the U.S. and a form of documentation for illegals.

Post a CommentI don't know what crack smoking world you are living in but I was born here and believe you me I have less rights that the illegal Mexican living next door to me. My sister and a Latina woman both applied for the same scholarship to go to school and the only thing that set them apart was that my sister was white. Guess who went to school for free? And why, because she was Mexican. The problem is not that you are being discriminated against it is that your free ride is coming to an end. I have no problems with immigration. The problem is immigration itself. Our for-fathers had pride in this country and came here to help make this a better place and to build on the ideals of America. Now we have predominately Mexican schools burning American flags and raising the Mexican flag in our country because their parents are too filled with incompetence and the feeling that everything is owed to them to understand how good they actually have it. We are all middle to lower class PEOP
Mexicans are ignorant and stupid; they come here only to create havoc and hardship for good American people. They refuse to assimilate within the American culture, and although, they may speak English, they prefer to speak Spanish all the time. My advice to other cities in America that don’t have a large population of Mexicans, is to keep it that way; otherwise, when they begin to multiple, they will force their culture on to you…trust me.
My grandmother came to this country in 1920 at the age of 7, for the same reason every one else does. She spoke german and hebrew being jewish. Her mother told her we are Americans now we do american things, Why, cause they were proud to be her, did they give up who they were? No. not at all. They just respected this great country and the hard working people in it. They didnt try to force there ways on others. They displayed the American flag proudly on the front porch as I do today. My grandmother taught me how to have pride and to be an American. Today It makes me sad to hear my 97 year old grandmother talk so sadly about Mexicans and how they seem to have no pride in America. She talks about them insulting all the great other law abiding Americans. She never called herself a german American, she always just said American. asians, germans, russians, french and all other races have great respect and some mexicans dont. Think about it, it only takes one bad apple to ruin a bunch, and t
Ignorance is believing you are an immigrant if you are born in America. Immigrants are people born elsewhere. Those who apply for citizenship are not Americans, they are American Citizens. There is a difference. Putting your foot on American soil does not make a person an American. White Christian males are suppressed by military force while tax dollars are stolen to support and fund racism and the fall of America. Why is racism and bias by quota legal to favor Hebrews, Africans, Women, Gays, Immigrants, and Minorities? HAWGIMs are the problem, not the solution because they are here to tear down the system and they are doing a good job. I love good immigrants (work, pay taxes, follow the rules, have humility, don't take more than their fair share.) I hate bad immigrants that are hear to tear down America. We have to wisely choose who we promote and exclude by their behavior and following the rules.
This country is full of immigrants. If you are not Native American, then you or your ancestors, are immigrants. To think that you have a right to put down Mexican immigrants, only shows your ignorance and highlights the continued racists thinking in some Americans who have a misplaced sense of entitlement. There is nothing wrong with any ethinic group celebrating their heritage, whether it is cinco de mayo or whatever. You go back home if you do not like it.
im a mexican-american, who believes that we the illegal immigrants are taking advantage of this great country...im not saying all immigrants...im talking about those people who commit crimes and don;t work and just keep getting help from the government.....for the rest hardworking mexicans, i believe that we deserve an opportunity to show that we can be a great assest to this country........I also believe that our government should help white people. The government shouldnt just waste money on those worthless people who come to this country just to sit at home,commit crimes, and get help{food stamps, & money]...........
i cannot believe that in a country as great as the us there can be people as ignorant as some of you are
my father is a maintinence man at a hospital and he knows plenty of people who would be willing to do the same work illigals do and at the same price but people wont hire them because they would would be required by law to pay them minimum wage. I have no problem with people coming here from other countries I just think they should come here legaly so employers will be required to pay them minimum wage as well and every one will have an equal chance. its not about race its about equality, you know that thing civil rights activists are always talking about. as far as the language thing goes: if I were to move to germany not speaking a word of german people would call me stupid...so there you have it.
is every one where youre from practically illiturate or is it just you?
if you dont want to make white people look bad keep youre inbread mouth shut you stupid rube
