They do like Mexico, that's why they send most of the money they make at their illegal American jobs back down to Mexico.  They just like being able to live here and make many, many, many times more money per hour/day/week/month/year than they would be making in Mexico.  Plus, it's obviously better living here.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not defending them. I think we should build ourselves a wall, like they did in California, to keep out all of the illegals.  But, they're going to find some way in, even if it's going to Cuba first, then rowing across to Florida.  It seems when you "have it all", everyone else wants a piece.  Haven't you ever noticed that?

CORRUPTION mexico is full of it. if there wasnt corruption that country would be like Canada. Serioulsy, from an educated person from mexico I know what Im talking about. I had a friend ask me the same question he was like: "how come if mexico is next to the best country in the world it is so poor" I had one word for him Corruption.

Mexico. Preferably northern. Beautiful and inexpensive, rich and friendly culture. Close to home(if ur from the US). You shouldn't live near a beach though in my opinion. What if a brutal storm comes?? say goodbye to your belongings, some where a couple of miles away form the water would be good. That way you can go to the beach as a treat and it wont become mundane.

Mexico is actually a beautiful country with beautiful people.  After travelling the world, I can easily say that is one of the few countries I definately want to visit again.  And dont be so close-minded!!!

Most of the Mexicans I've met have been friendly, hard working, generous,warm hearted people who are here legally.I love the Mexican people and their culture. All I ask of them is to be here legally.

They shouldn't.This country is not overcrowded.Even if the whole country of Mexico came over they would still be a minority.This country needs them.Ppl are scared because this country and countries all over the world are changing.There is nothing anyone can do about it.Sorry guys.

I know several people from Mexico, and they are proud to be Mexican. Yet people from Mexico dislike being called Mexicans in a context which indicates them as being stupid, incompetent, or "lesser" than another person or race (wouldn't you?). This is especially common in the United States. It's not right, but it happens nonetheless.

How can you be a racist for not wanting ANY ILLEGAL PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY....GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, THEY BROKE OUR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWS BY COMING HERE, then they say Mexico is so GREAT, If it is so GREAT, GET THE H-LL OUT OF THE U.S.A.   I can see being proud of your heritage, but if you were SO impressed with Mexico, then why did you come HERE??   GET THE F-CK OUT, GO BACK TO THE SO CALLED GREAT LAND OF MEXICO.............and YES, I expect to be called a racist for stating a proven fact, I lived in the barrio of San Jose CA....This is not only to Mexicans, all illegal immigrants....It is just the majority are Mexican...

Mexico, they seem to be trying to turn America into Mexico. If I wanted to live in Mexico I'd move there.

Mexicans are hard working and love their families as much as AMericans do. I dont' hate mexicans, and if I was in their position I would cross the border. Mexicans will out work americans and are more appreciative since most grew up with nothing.\n\nNAFTA was desined to slowly build their economy and make their lifestyles better and create a marketplace of millions more consumers. Turned out just a bunch of greedy rich people wanted cheap labor.\n\n Let's build up Mexico like it should properly be done, then they wont need to cross the border. In the mean time, get use to it.

What? Did you fail English, check your grammar. You are hurting not only are you an ignorant racist but a dumb one too.  Illegals don't only come from Mexico, they come from many different countries all over the world.  Not all Mexicans are illegals and not all illegals are Mexicans.  Confused?  I bet you are!

The key word is "illegal" as in not legal, as in wrong, as in shouldn't do it, as in not right. America has many flaws but one of our strengths is the legal system. What I find incomprehensible is that you would want to base a society on illegal principles as in I will cross another countries border, take up residence and not abide by their laws. My question to you is which laws do you decide to follow and which laws do you ignore and how do you arrive at your decision ? Do you want a society like Mexico where you have to bribe public officials and the police? I have lived in my country 52 years and not once have I had to or wanted to bribe a public official or policeman. On the other hand it is routine to do so in Mexico. What is also routine is bad water, disease and poverty. Do I hate Mexicans? Absolutely not. I want as many of them over here as possible speaking Spanish among themselves but English in general society, just as my German and Irish ancestors had to.Most of all I want them to follow the same laws as my ancestors followed. I do not want a Mexican legal system or culture dominating my life and my country  . We fought a war over that once and I have no desire to fight another one.\n\nLet me repeat I do not hate Mexicans but I will love the Mexican without agreeing to have the poverty, disease and disregard for the law imposed on me. This is my country and it is yours too as long as you follow the law, pay your taxes and learn the language. You would expect no less of me if I wanted to be a citizen of Mexico and common courtesy decency and respect would demand it.\n\nThis is a serious matter and it does not seem wise to me to expect reconquista. It will not happen.\n\nI just read Recoba 01's post. You need to know that I am not intimidated by Mexicans and do not think you are going to take my job. The rules are clear . Get your education, work hard compete fairly and then if you "take" my job all power to you. Mexicans are certainly capable of competeing with the best. As a native born American I am willing to live and let live, treat everyone with respect but as a slogan on one of the early American Flags put it. "Don't tread on me"

Everything you said is true true true. Also Mexico is not a poor country. It is just poorer in relative to us. Like you living next door to Bill Gates.\nIllegals are a product for Mexican government in remittance at a tune of $54 billion a year. Pres.V. Fox just gave himself a $28,000 raise. He make more then the presidents/Priminsters of France, Germany and Canada.\n\nThey need to stay and demand their country work. If they can get organized down there like they had up here May 1st they might make changes. \n\nGo to the Travel section of Q&A get into the Mexico site and ask the question there. I have met some real nice and smart people like Chess, Joo, Just Me and others asking questions there. Gypsy.

we're not traitors. Are we at war with Mexico or Iraq? If its with Mexico, then my husband and I would just stay out of it, maybe take a trip to Canada.

YOU ARE SO RIGTH. Is like in any other relation. It needs the commitment of the two sides.\n\nIn Mexico we have a lot of work to do, that's a fact. And all of us, the citizen, the government, and the politics, should be looking at this situation, and focus their efforts on making this a better country to live on.\n\nWe need to increase the wages in general, so the decision of leaving the country wouldn't be a must, because of the big diference on wages, and the life quality.\n\nWe need to improve the healt services, the education, the infrastructure. \n\nBut in the USA, the government and the citizen have to be aware in their realities, as well, we are neighbors and comercial associates, we have a NAFTA, and we, as neighbors, are complementary. \n\nThe reality about the ages on the citizen in the USA, is that they have the mayority of their people about to retire, and the population in Mexico is mostly young. \n\nThe reality about our lands, is that the farmers cannot compite - inside the NAFTA as it is now, because the USA government subsides their farmers. \n\nThe reality about a big border.\n\nThe reality about the main consumers of drugs, so the main clients to the drug cartels in Mexico are in the USA. \n\nAll those are realities that have to be noticed as well.\n\nI believe that the only way to get trougth this is by noticing everyone of our relation issues, put them in the real balance, then we would be able to work together.

PLEASE PLEASE inform yourself before writing...\nQUOTE: "The U.S. must go in there with the Army and Marines to restore Law and Order. The magnificent wealth of the U.S. could restore roads, build schools, hospitals, and promote economic growth. The once gorgeous country has become nothing more than a big garage pit with their people living in foul squalor."\n*** We Mexicans are happy living in Mexico, we don't need the "magnificent" US conquering us, we DO have schools, hospitals, and roads. I think the "magnificent wealth of the US" should be invested in rebuildign New Orleans and focused on rebuilding your own country not invading other countries.\n\nAnd how can you say that Mexico is not even beloved by its own people??? Obviously you have NEVER EVER met a real Mexican because even when Mexicans migrate to other countries they keep their traditions and idiosyncrasies and never stop loving Mexico.\n\nPlease people leave us alone, we Mexicans LOVE Mexico and we don't want our country to be colonized/invaded by anybody.

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.
