in 30 years will mexicans be asking for "reparations"..??

You have to be serious: we Latin Americans are the victims of Spanish colonialism, internal strife, etc., but we were never the victims of American slavery.  We will never ask for "reparations".

When ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS Are Deported\nThe Wages Will Naturally RISE\n\nMinimum Wages And Other Wages\n\nWe All Know, By Now\nThat ILLEGAL ALIENS Falsely DEPRESS Wages\nBy Flooding The Labor Market With CHEAP Labor\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs an example, \na young landscaper who used to make $15 an hour \n10 YEARS AGO, \ncan't get a similar job now for more than $8 an hour. \nSame heat. \nSame difficult working conditions.  \nBut with the Depressed Wage, \nAmerican Citizens who live in a country \nwhere the cost of living is miles above that of Mexico's – \ncan't afford to take such jobs.\nIt's not that he and other Americans \ndon't want to do landscaping anymore; \nit's just that in heavily trafficked ILLEGAL ALIEN environments, \nIT DOESNT PAY WELL ENOUGH ANYMORE.\n\n\n\nIn The Past Ten Years\nOur Cost Of Living Has TRIPLED\nYet\nOur Wages Have Been Cut In HALF\nDue To A Labor Market Flooded With ILLEGAL ALIENS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYes, Its ME\nReported And Deactivated\nAnd The Points Don't Mean NOTHIN

I am not Mexican, but my husband is and we have a house there too, I cant think of a way to be sure that he fulfills his promises, if you ask anyone in my husbands town in Tlaxcala, they will tell you that all politians lie. They have lost all hope for their government. I would suggest that people NOT let the government go back to PRI, what did they do for the people all those years that they were in office? It will take any person more than one term to fix the problems! I just worry that all this fence building is only going to seperate Mexico and America more, the tension was always there, but it is getting ridiculous!

You are 100% correct.  As soon as the illegals become legal, they will demand more wages.  That puts us right back where we started.

Yes, we're flaming mad and will grow larger and larger to fight the injustice done to us.  I only save one thing - that as red upset as we are, you get to go home - that is your amnesty.\n\nSometimes when you bite the system - the system bites back.  They don't realize how much happier Americans would be to let them go to jail than pay for them.\n\nYour government lied to you - and our government has been complicit until now - even the Senate bill in base is tough.  I read an article today how now there's no one left to do the work in Mexico, you are all here.  Your country needs you - you have close election there - if you can organize here, you can organize there, but by the Grace of God go home and make you country repsectable!!  Do that and we'll be your best friends!!\n\nKeep believing the lies - and watch where that gets you!!!\n\nSome of you people aren't even up with what's going on!  The Senate is turning toward the House, and the House passed a bill that if local police don't enforce immigration, they lose millions!!  Not to mention all the cities - and states like Georgia - that are passing anti-immigration laws!\n\nI take it also most of you don't remember that amnesty was passed in 1986, and the promises of law enforcement didn't happen!!  WE WILL NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN!!!\n\nEVEN VDARE ADMITS THE TIDE IS TURNING IN OUR FAVOR, THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE ARE TURNING SLOWLY BUT ARE BEGINING TO TURN!!\n\nYOU MAY SAY YOU WON'T GIVE UP - BUT YOU CAN BET NIETHER WILL WE!!!!  WE ARE IN IT FOR THE LOOOOONG HAUL!!!

Yes, I definitely think he would be disgusted.  Reparations were not a part of his dream that all people would stand together on their own, proud to be Americans.  People who want reparations have a "poor me" victim complex and that was not what Martin Luther King Jr. wanted for his people.....)(

It will happen in the next race. Mexicans will run this country it is now ours and nothing anybody can do about it

Well, you should ask the Mexican government.

It goes back to the US-Mexican War of the mid 1800s. A good part of the Western US was claimed by Mexico and not yet part of the US. The US fought a war and won and paid a pittance in reparations to the Mexican government - something like $20 million (Not sure of the exact amount, though.) The next year, gold was discovered in California and the year after (1849), California was made a state. The Mexican government has been bitter about this ever since, especially since the amount of wealth taken from the Sierra foothills in the Gold Rush was many, many times greater than paid to the Mexican government. There has also been some rumblings from Spanish radio that that is why there are so many Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles - that they're trying to take it back by culturally overwhelming the city. I don't know if that is true; I have just read about it in some mainstream media stories here in CalifonriMF \n\nMaybe you don't live in California or have heard this before, but it is a REAL sentiment among many Mexican-Americans. (I am not Mexican  American; I am just reporting what I have read.)

We should, but it wont happen.  The Mexican government can't provide needed service to its poor people that is why they headed north to the US where they can got free medical, free services.

If it is good enough for Mexico...then it's good enough for them to abide by.\n\nI'm so tired of the hypocrisy...Sick and tired of the Politically correct mentality...\n\nEveryone should commit to abandoning the "I'm sorry" behavior...always apologizing for being an American.

yes . im sure they will. seeing as, not everybody who has a reservation benefits. also, many people forge documents to show that they belong to a backward community.
582297
They can't!!! They will NOT work for minimum wages forever, and their kids SURE WON"T!!!! They will get an education,paid for by YOU,the TAXPAYERS. And THEN, they will get themselves in postions of power,so that they can help THEIR people!!! The black people work to help their own people, the mexican people work to help their own people,the white people get screwed over by everyone!!

tex is correct, and this is exactly why it would be extremely unfair to those who have been waiting YEARS (in some cases...20years) to come here legally...to grant amnesty to those who are illegal.
