I would like to know why some people here in the u.s. thinks they have the right to judge the mexicans?

They don't realize that they talk about God and always say "God Bless America" and think they have the right to criticize. They are no one to judge, only God can judge. They are ignorant, God forgive me but they are. They need to realize that just like they are judging they will be judged, but not by other human beings but by God.\n\nand to imstillsandy...there is many people out there judging us by our color and race. I went to the store the other day and was denied service because of my skin. So you don't talk before you don't know. They are getting sued because I am too an American. The only thing is that my ancestors are Mexican, but that does not give people the right to try to put us down.

Hi, Apparently they do have something to prove if their peers think of them the way you do.  You are stereotyping by saying all Mexicans drink and womanize.  Those characteristics can be found in all races and all nationalities, including yours.  I think it is very racist and prejudicial to think like you do.  I feel sorry for you and hope that you can someday be more compassionate with  people of all races.

I know there are a lot of immigrants that are not white.  The reason people focus on Mexicans is because they are trying to use racism to get their own way with immigration laws.  Also Mexicans make up the majority of immigrants to the united states and they are relatively well organized when it comes to protesting.  This makes them more of a threat to the white American way of life.

well... they messed themselves up. you cant report someone for feeling that way... lol. isnt this freedom of speech? especially on the internet??\n\nYou can't logically and honestly tell me that flying Mexican flags saying we demand you to make us citizens of your country... for being illegal... is the best way to go about bringing changes. RIIIGHHT. Mexicans are hard workers, yes they are. Grown and raised in California, I've grown up/am friends with a lot of Hispanics, but do it the right way... legal immigration.\n\nAnother thing... they (Hispanics) talk about how great their homeland is and how America sucks... wonder why none of them go back there? Show AMERICAN pride, not [insert country here] pride. That's what we had to do when we came over on ships... it's called assimilation.\n\nAnd do you honestly think they pay taxes? Please. They're undocumented. They do not pay taxes. You are crazy for thinking that. Then they send our money to banks out of country. Think what you want, but I would say they have screwed up by doing this right now. There is no basis. You're ILLEGAL... not LEGAL. NO as opposed to YES.

No one is saying that Mexicans can't speak Spanish in the streets or that they can't be proud of their heritage.  The problem is that this protest is not ABOUT Mexican heritage.  It's ABOUT Mexicans who are in this country ILLEGALLY who want to continue to be here ILLEGALLY. Also, WHAT THE HECK DOES IT MATTER THAT THE SOUTHERN U.S. USED TO BELONG TO MEXICO....IT DOESNT ANYMORE. So, how is that relevant to this debate.  It now belongs to the U.S. and there are laws that should be followed.\n\nThe protests are not a matter of free speech, because our rights are reserved for the "legal" citizens of this country. I think it is not very smart to be doing something illegal, then making it known that you are doing it. \n\nPeople who are here illegally are breaking the law. There are steps that can be taken to be here legally and they should take them. It may be a difficult process, but as we all know Freedom isn't free, and if you want it bad enough, you should be willing to do what it takes to get it through legal means.\n\nWhat would happen if child molesters decided to protest the laws against child molesting. We would all say, that's crazy! How can they be "in the wrong" and demand the laws be changed so that they can do what they want. I don't think it is right. The best way to resolve the problem is to make it prohibitive for illegal people to be here, and beneficial for legal immigrants to be here. Our laws are there for a reason, America is not a free for all...and if you want to be a part of its citizenry, then you must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. \n\nIt is wrong for people to use emotionalism to incite riot by saying that "human rights" are being violated. How is it a violation of human rights to tell people who entered this country illegally, got jobs, and basically are squatters and cheaters that at long last, YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING! \n\nI think they do not understand what the definition of "Human Rights" is. They are not being treated inhumanely, they are actually fortunate. Because they are being treated as any other American Citizen who breaks the law. ACTUALLY they are being treated BETTER than any other American Citizen who breaks the law. How many U.S. citizens do you know, can break the law, admit to it, protest about it....and not be punished unless or until congress decides to re-write the law in an effort to be as fair to THEM as possible. Come on! Just because they took low paying jobs and work hard at them, does not mean that they are free to break the law. And if we allow them to do it, then the country they are so eager to live in will cease to be the country it is supposed to be. \n\nIf what illegal immigrants want to do is to work, raise families, and live in a free society. Then, follow the LEGAL process to do so, learn the language, and the culture, pay your taxes, and become an American the right way!\n\nDon't break the law and then scream victim! You are not victims. The tax payers who support social programs are victims; the people who migrate to this country and become legal citizens are victims. Illegal immigrants are people who made a "CHOICE" to do the WRONG thing, and think they should be excused or rewarded for that choice. I say WAKE UP; take responsibility for your actions, and GET LEGAL or leave.

I think that some people beleive it is but it's not. It is just somethinkin that some of the mexicans want

to me, an American is a person who has the right to say and do what they need to do to protect their country. if that means telling the mexicans to get the hell out of my country than so be it. i am an American an proud of it.

Don't know, but they shouldn't be- citizens have a right to protect their own country, whether illegal or not!  History will prove them right and their actions will be honored at a future time.  Americans are expected to be sensitive to everyone else yet, to add insult to injury, we're supposed to submit to the ridiculous whims of others.  What justification can an illegal immigrant bring for breaking the laws of other countries.- they have none b/c they have no standing to complain.  Why don't you ask mexico why they rape and pillage their southern border yet expect us to leave our southern border open.  On top of that, they want free healthcare and complain when we suggest that thats inappropriate- the rest of the world is laughing at us.  As long as american kids are deathly afraid of rotting in a mexican jail for littering or peeing in the street, we shouldn't even grant mexico an audience!  Even worse, now they're demanding that we hand deliver Dog the Bounty Hunter to them for capturing a habitual rapist that mexico wasn't even trying to capture!  Whatever- mexico should learn its place!

Now, you are a Mexican person that I can try to understand.  However, I also feel as Hayleylov does about your "loving Mexico."  If you love Mexico, why did you leave it?  If you love Mexico, why don't you go back there and try to help that country?  Why don't you just admit that Mexico is an awful country because they don't love or help their people?  If they did, their people wouldn't be making tracks to the USA for a better life!  I would understand you more if you said that you love your people and your culture, but that you don't love the government of Mexico and that you want to do something to change things back home.  I like that you seem to understand how the American citizens feel about the marching in the streets of the illegal immigrants and the waving of their flag while doing so.  However, you also say, "I want our country to thrive here and some day we can have mexican people in the senate and we can help more of our people and become stronger but not by hating them it wont happen that way my people lets me nice to them."  That whole sentence is offensive to American citizens!  No, you should want your country to thrive in Mexico, not here, and you should fix the government of Mexico, not state how you want Mexicans in the senate [in the USA] - that is not the way into the heart of Americans. That still sounds like you are "taking over."  Stop that kind of talk if you want to be accepted in the USA!  I, also, am from two countries - I was born in the USA and now live in Canada, having immigrated (legally) to Canada with my family many years ago and I have legal citizenship of both countries. I also love both countries very much!  However, I did not come to Canada saying that we Americans are going to take over Canada and place our American people into positions in the Canadian government, etc.,  Yes, be nice to the American citizens and talk about how much you love the USA and your mother country of Mexico and how you hope to make things better for your people in Mexico one day.  That is a much better and more acceptable way to be speaking when you have come to another country.  Believe me!

The answer is yes, "people" do pre-judge based on where you live. That is, people in general do.  That doesn't mean it's right.  In my opinion ANYONE who "pre judges" ANYTHING based on something like that is wrong.  We're not suppose to judge, but just accept people for who they are, based on their character. We're all really the same!!!

I think that someone as ignorant as you shouldnt even exist!\nYou dont know how hard is life down in Mexico, and let me tell you something, you should feel lucky that we gave you California! I mean without it your country wouldnt be the same!\nYou go to our country and get drunk and act stupid! so think for a min. who got it worts!

I speak for myself when I say that illegal is illegal - no matter where they are from.\n\nBut I think you must also understand two things on the Mexican people being "picked on":\n\n1.  The "pro-illegal" people have made them the posterchildren of the "poor illegal immigrants coming to this country for a better life for themselves and their children".  So for that, you can look in your own camp.\n\n2.  The majority of the offenders are from our southern borders.  So they are more of an offender than the other countries (combined - look at the numbers once).  So the Mexican people that are here illegally brought it all on themselves.\n\nSo I think that you really need to stop worrying about the way people think of others.  If they brought it on for themselves, then I have no sympathy for them.  Sorry if that offends you . . .  No wait, I'm not sorry.  Get over it, and realize that it isn't a race issue (Mexican isn't a race), it is a LEGAL issue.  Nothing more.

I am not American but it seems to me the Americans believe they have the right to do pretty much whatever they please

you mean the USA? Don't know why some people stare. It is rude. People should mind their own business. If they're going to stare they should go up to the person and say something about it.

Mexicans are not being persecuted in America. Even those that are here illegaly. Although there seems to be more public sentiment against illegals here of late. I would blame that on the media or the politicians makeing an issue of it more than anything else. ive lived in Texas all my life the illegal alien thing is nothing new.there were plenty illegals here for more more than thirty years and never heard one complaint until the last few weeks when the media started blasting it out the airways. Unfortuneately Ive noticed that the media seems to have a large affect on the popular opinion here. Why they have chosen this time to make it a major issue is beyond anything i can understand.

I'm a black Latina,I am also 1/4 Mexican so I look at these people as fellow human beings and fellow Latinos. I will not turn my back on them whether legal,illegal,etc. I also deal with(all nationalities) people from all walks of life on a daily basis and I know the poverty and conditions they experienced in the old country.Just think 50 years ago people used to feel the same way about us blacks,people may say the situations are not similar,but they are.
