The best thing you can do is learn to speak spanish! You will need a language credit if you plan on going to college anyway. Yes explain it is rude, because it is. Lots of non-americans do this and it is rude. I hope we pass a law that English is the official language of the U.S- I was shocked to hear it wasn't but Spanish as a second language for anglos is a reality we are going to have to live with and is here to stay. As far as Cali turning into Mexico that will never happen. Here is some food for thought..... Most of California was at one time land belonging to Mexico. (along with most of texas, arizona and new mexico) When Santa Ana lost, the land was taken by the U.S.(literally taken, soldiers and rebels going up to houses and farmsteads throwing the occupants  out by force saying this is ours now get out, but hey that is what happens in war) -- along with thousands and thousands of acres that formally belonged to Mexico. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants, and your forefathers immigrated here too. You have to expect that the demographics of our country will continue to change over time. I do think something needs to be done about illegal immigration. I also think Mexico needs to do more to develop it's own economy and corruption problems so that Mexicans would not be derperate to come here. If it weren't for those illegal immigrants, however, you would be paying $18 a pound for tomatoes and lots more for things like hotel rooms, all produce, restaurant meals and so on. If you are not liking the change in the population of where you live, this is America, nobody is making you stay here. You have 50 wonderful states to choose from, as well as any country around the world. This is something you will have to think about as you grow up.

Mexicans coming to the US is a form of outsourcing.  Mexicans come here to take services jobs that cannot be outsourced.  How can you outsource picking strawberries on a farm in Half Moon Bay, California?  The only way to do this is draw illegal workers into the US.  Since they are illegal you can pay them less money than US Citizens.\n\nOutsourcing is just a bad idea.  It's one thing to outsource jobs that require little or no higher education or training; and quite another to outsource jobs that require 4, 6, or 8 years of advanced education to perform.  If you outsource all of the high tech, R&D, finance and MBA, and marketing jobs what jobs will you have left?  Moreover, corporations that outsource these jobs are financing the creation of their own foreign competitors.  That is how new companies form; highly trained, experience employees of a given corporation leave and form their own company.  What makes this worse is that now, if the jobs are outsourced instead of have this new company contribute to the US economy, it will expand a foreign country's economy.

He was here in Utah last night and this morning.  The media quadrupled the number of Mexican's who came out to see them and massively reduced the number of Minutemen who came out to protest.  Fox canceled a press conference he was supposed to have.  I have a question....why does the President of a nation cause that life is so miserable that his people die trying to get out!  He has gotten BILLIONS of dollars from our government.  A billion a year gets sent back to Mexico by illegals who work here.  What good is all that money doing?  Many "someones" are lining their pockets while their people starve and run to America.  I hope that you have a HUGE protest.  I also hope you start turning in employers who hire illegals to www.ice.com so that they can start paying heavy fines for committing a felony.  I hope that you folks in California are able to put all those liberals out of office...better watch the voting machines, they are fixed.

We have problems here to take care of. What about the poor kids living in Appalachia, what about all the families displaced by Katrina, what about the kids who are loosing their dads in Iraq. Charity should begin at home. The Mexicans have had their own country longer than the United States has been a country. They need to make the changes that will bring about a better life in their own country. Why do they come here and demand that we bend over backwards for them.\n\nBilly B hit the nail on the head. The former U.S companies that moved their operations down there should be paying those people a fair wage, but guess what, they went ther for the slave labor. Ford Motor Company will be the next to go there. And they are right, they aren't our jobs, the jobs belong to the companies, they can do what they want. Isn't it funny that the big companies from America are leaving for the slave labor, and now the once unknown automakers like hyundai are opening plants here. They can afford to do that because the unions have been busted and now they can get auto workers for ten bucks an hour. Seems funny that these companies get labor cheaper, they use less people to build a car, they use less materials to build a car now, but the prices go higher every year. \nWell, the Mexicans can survive on their own, they survived a long time before we the United States arrived on the scene. I think they are attempting to destroy us from within, just like the communist said they would. Wake up America. Seal the Borders, shut the gates, stop the invasion.

The Native American argument is so tired... Yawn!\n\nYes, I hear you... and it's just the beginning.  If illegals are given amnesty, there will be an inflow of another 50-100 thousand more of their family members.  As a resident of California, I can't even imagine what that will do to this state.

Well, East L.A. is identical, the houses might be made of something different, but I have seen goats in the backyards, graffiti, trash, gang affiliation, vendors, mexican flags, spanish as the primary language, women with 5 or 6 kids and one on the way whom can't even afford the clothes on their backs.  I See this stuff every time I go to an area over in that direction.  BUt don't just focus on that area.  People have moved out of east L.A. to other parts, Inviting all their familty from back home to come live with them.  Before you know it  Every house on the block is owned by Mexicans supporting their families illegally.  This is spreading rapidly and it's scary.  Can you believe it's this way in Orange County, CA?  Of all places.  I was just told I was over qualified to rent an apartment in Anaheim.  A majority of the residents were of hispanic origin, even the office staff was all of hispanic origin, and then it dawned on me.  Is that discrimination towards me?  Overqualified to rent a place?  How is that possible?

20 more years and Mexicans will finish the invasion. Learn Spanish now, people.. you'll need it to fight for the few jobs Mexicans won't want to do.

Liberal? How do you wake up every day?\nGo back to California with all the other fruits, nuts and flakes...

Way to go!  Congrats to the friend who got the new job as well!  If the illegals went home, business would be forced to pay a better wage and would entice US citizens to work!

too much cheap labor would be lost, big corps would have to pay taxes and real wages to citizens, and mexico doesn't want them back...their prez encourages immigration, legally or illegally.

This is NO JOKE, people.\nThese people want to take California (and other south western states.) In case you weren't sure, it has already begun. If they want Calif. back...the only way we should give it is without any of the infrastructure that was designed, built and has been maintained by the U.S. \n\nThe land was theirs before, but now it's not. They should get over it. If they want to be Americans, no problem....but if you want to run around town with a Mexican flag, you should do it in Mexico. In case there's any confusion, if you're geographically challenged, that's south of San Diego! Bye bye!!! Hasta Luego! Que te vallas bien y nunca regresan!\n\nSeriously, though. You should go to the site below and read how racist these guys are. (Yes, the same ones who call me racist for wanting my government to enforce the law.) They want to take over what they consider to be already theirs. \n\nWAKE UP, PEOPLE!! This is not a joke, it's serious.

somebody said about no real jobs and the mexicans issue. This anyway doesnt apply on me I am not mexican, but why I cant find a decent Job. I have my education and i am sure not because of the mexicans but because of the OUTSOURCING. My Job aswell of many other vanished for some CHEAP LABOR overseas (india and china), The issue of the illegal immigrant has been  a problem since forever, but why now it was erupted? Because the Big companies are laying off people left and right, and outsourcing the jobs of others, maybe they knew some retaliation will happen so they erupt and paid money in millions to let media concentrate on mexicans.\n\nBeside that someone said the 300.000 on welfare.... Did you trach how many are not mexicans on welfare and they are capable of working but they dont want to do anything beside selling crack on the streets and hang out arround. You know how many are those? MANYYYY.\n\nWhat about the war thats is not OURS!!! war expense everyday was estimated of 100 millions. Gaz for vehicles, food for soldiers, etc... What we have to do with irakians problems? why we still there? thats beside everyday we lose one or 2 soldiers. These are humans !!! THATS where you lose Money!!!\n\nAnd for those who said now we have laws about immigration I am afraid that you missed totally the point of the person who asked this question. He mentioned the settlers as a prove that all white, yellow, black, brown except what called red indians are IMMIGRANT. You accept that fact or not, this country history return back to 300 to 400 years max. \n\nAnyway americans are offensive to newly immigrant? yes but because of some rules in some companies about zero tolerance against discrimination they dont say it out loud. btw If the americans didnt descriminate against others based on their origin...why there is a law prohibit the descrimination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What should we do...?  SIMPLE. \n\nBlack people will go back to Africa, and the White people will go back to Europe, same for the Asians back to Asia, and GIVE THIS LAND BACK TO THE INDIANS. \n\nIf that is not the case, THAN WHY does it bother you to see a Mexican coming in?

Who do you think paid for all the equipment, research & development and technology to get the oil out of Mexico. The USA, correct, here ya go Mexico, pump it out... we'll even buy it.  NAFTA, here ya go Mexico, jobs Americans once held, now belong to you. Mexicans, like the people of Iraq, like US people collecting welfare, need to do it themselves.  We can't do it for them even if we wanted to.  \nA person appreciates the fruits of their own hard work more than something given buy another.  We hold ourselves to this standard everyday, but don't or have less faith in non-Americans, or poor Americans.\nMexicans to often state the "we are all immigrants or decendents of", yes true.  However, name one other group of immigrants who harbored such pride for their home country after setting foot in the US, like the Mexicans.  Mexico is  worse than most countries our ancestors came from.  I was born in the US, my ancestry is from France, if I grew up with my parents telling me France was better, I'd be like "then why the hell are here"?  "I'm American now, I can't go back to France?"  Real parents wouldn't do that to their children.  Mexicans are being selfish, they won't even let their kids, who are Americans, be American.  Three generations of totally confused Mexican-American kids.  We are all from different places, but the thing that Unites us is that we are American.  We all come from different places for an opportunity like no other.  A place you can make your great idea a reality.  A place where creativity is encouraged.  A place you can live how you want to live so long as it's not harming others who want to do the same, including parts of nature.  A place you have to make a sacrefice for inorder to gain something you consider greater, like a dangerous boat ride or a cut on a barbed wire fence. Big or small the risk was worth it to make, not receive, something better.  If you came here expecting a gift, your in the wrong place.  This is not the "Easy way out country", this is the land hard work and determination.  This is not the "they have more, so they should take care of me" hangout.  Some have it easier than others, but if you get the tougher road, only the weak turn back.  Some have it easier because someone before them worked hard.    \nWhy do Americans feel we need or have the ability to fix other countries? We are the youngest country, Mexico has been around longer than us.  They kicked out Spain & France who probably treated them better than the current gov.  That's why I can't understand "Mexican Pride" in the US, or in Mexico.  Cinco de Mayo represents the day they defeated the French, but the French less than 6 months later took it back.  What can you be prowd of then or now?  Holding the title "Most corrupt government" or "Don't drink the water there", come on.  If they really had pride, they would do everything to better Mexico.  If Mexicans had pride, they wouldn't be F-ing over other Mexicans, cops wouldn't be hustling $50 bucks from every US visitor, people in the country would be pissed with those who flee, those who flee wouldn't be so damn prowd of the place they fleed from.  It's crazy.  12mil prowd Mexicans could go back to Mexico and with others in Mexico, turn Mexico around, instead they will hinder Mexican-Americans from making progress in America.  We know you'd rather wave the Mexican flag, I felt bad seeing you wave the Stars and Stripes, because you were advised to.  Go back to Mexico and set a goal, do the jobs Mexicans aren't doing.  It'll be tough, but not trying will guarantee a life of wondering "What if?"  \nWatch Braveheart...
