This is what I gotta say! I'm on the immagrant side! Anyone who's with it is a very huge moron and babosos!

I feel really down with all this mess. I'm mexican and my bf is from MA and I'm staying with him in the states but I work in MExico because I have a really good job here and there's no way I'm going to go to the states to work at mcdonalds. but it really hurts when i see in the news that white people is burning mexican restaurants just because they want all the mexicans to go back to mexico. I'm afraid one of these days I'm going to see a stupid racist in the street and that he/she is going to hurt me. We are human beings for god's sake!

I believe in freedom.  If someone lives in an opressive country I can't fault them for wanting to move somewhere more free.  However, they must be prepared for dealing with things like people who are biased/prejudiced against them for any number of reasons.\n\nIf you immigrate to a new place, it is recommended to work very hard, learn the language and customs, and try to fit in.  The biggest problem with immigrants for a lot of people are finding out that the immigrants are abusing the freedoms/opportunities they find in their new place.

wow.  very well said.  what happend between white settlers and native americans, while very sad and wrong, is in the long gone past and its flat stupid to be upset over that.  i am upset with illegals because they come here ILLEGALY and DEMAND that we give them free stuff and financial help and all the freedoms of a US citizen.  while they may seek a better life by coming to America (cuz we just that cool) if we wanted you here, we would let you here.  many latin american countries are underdeveloped and diseases can travel through borders easily when people sneak across them.  plain and simple.

I'm sorry that you feel that way - nobody should feel like he or she is being discriminated against.  I think that most people don't feel anger toward the Muslim world, but they feel terrified of some of the leaders/ex-leaders of nations in the Arab world (Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, etc).  Ever since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, people have associated terrorism with the Arab world, and I completely agree that some have made unfounded generalizations towards Muslim people and people of Arab nations; however, it is a known fact that there are some groups in Arab countries that threaten the U.S. and feel/have felt for many years hostility towards the U.S. and other "Western Civilizations," so I think that many Americans, because of their intense fear, group all Arab countries/groups together, which is obviously not right.

At least you are going about it "legally" and - BONUS - you speak their language!!  Bravo to you!!  Sorry, I can't answer your question, but just wanted to congratulate you on immigrating to a country "legally."  Too bad everyone can't be like you, as then we wouldn't be having these raving rants in this forum.

I don't ever remember saying that was ok, I feel that it is horrible that happened. it must b hell going through that everyday. any one that does something like that should be punished. and if they or illegal they should b deported, in none of my answers have I said a crime like this is ok, look at my q&a's. I understand u r angry but I dont understand why you r attacking me. I didnt know them. I was born in the U.S. I feel for u. do you really think any one in their right mind would laugh that off. and you know this is personal but its not like anyone here knows me, but I was assaulted by an illegal neighbor, while my kid and I were sleeping on the couch. and yes I hated mexicans for a long time, I had different therapy, EMDR, but I came to realize its not all of them that r bad. I'll never be the same but I cant keep hating them all. I am so sorry for what you have been through no one should go through that.I dont even think u know y your attacking me. but u dont know me r what ive been throug either. and my deepest prayers r with you. \n\nhave you ever heard of E.M.D.R you should it can be helpful

frankly i think all immigrants should go back to where they came from, they do not respect our way of life then they get the hump when we dont respect theirs... WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE, they are in our damn country... You dont like it then GO HOME!

Protect your country and your British identity.  I have visited your beautiful country and I fell in love on my first visit.  I don't know enough about your govt. policies but I have seen on the BBC world news and websites that you are having problems with radical Muslim groups.  I think that every country has a right to control its borders and let in who they want.  The west is losing it's identity.  If immigrants are leaving their countries to find a better life in the US, UK, FR ... then they must make an effort to integrate fully into the culture in which they are moving to.  I hope that our nations say enough is enough.  good luck.

Sometimes.\nI get this claustrophobic feeling whenever I'm in a crowded place, and I start jumping from one quiet spot to the other in that whole, crowded place, just trying to 'blend' into my surroundings.\nAlso, because the place I'm studying at is a small town (Small towns are good for studies because you've got virtually nothing to do but study! :P), everyone's rather narrow-minded. The state I'm living in is pre-dominantly people of my race, the people in the country I'm living in are Multi-cultural, yes, but they don't live together in harmony, but in harsh racial divisions going about their business and being wary of the next race.\nHence, the people tend to really frown upon racial mixing (it's somewhat like a voluntary form of racial segregation or apartheid, with different districts holding an excessive majority of one particular race), let alone multi-racial relationships.\nWhenever my fiance (of a darker skin, and therefore in this country - EVEN more discriminated upon! The irony is that the rest of the races aren't so white themselves! They're brown!) and I walk out we find ourselves in merciless public scrutiny.\nThe worse thing is that while at least he's being ignored, I get the brunt of the telling off by some self-righteous middle-aged - older guy about mixing with other groups, about myself being 'cheap' because I mix with "such people" (meaning people of tanned and darker skinned), or I'm seen as some promiscuous girl hanging off the tetherhooks of some charming, evil dark-skinned man because of status, wealth, charm, boredom, rebelliousness, etc.\nWe find ourself literally 'hiding' when we go out. And mind you, we don't even hold hands in public, all it takes is just being in close proximity to a darker-skinned man to warrant disapproving glares from even the racist younger men  and women, who look at me as if I'm a paid prostitute walking around with him because I'm paid! \nIt's frustrating, and we've come across some extremely racist people, to the subtle racism (pretending not to hear my fiance speak, only speaking to me but in a rude tone, or speaking in a very rude, insulting, dismissive tone to my fiance, etc.).\nSo yes, while we aren't afraid of what people think of our relationship (We're engaged! It's not as if he's a 3 month fling or something!), we prefer not to create conflict, and find ourselves sometimes 'hiding' from everyone.\nIt's not unknown to have racial attacks where I'm studying at now.\nWe just can't wait to get the semesters over with and move over to our next destination, and just be ourselves!\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

I don't hate the people you mentioned.  I do feel sorry for them.  It is sad that they are not proud of their heritage.  It is unfortunate that children don't learn the language of their parents.\n\nThe thing that really bothers me is that many Mexican move to this United States and never learn English or make any attempt to assimilate The US culture.  I think it its great to preserve your families culture but you should not complain that the dominant culture treats you differently when you insist on living your life as a foreigner.\n\nA few weeks ago there was a protest march by thousands of illegal Mexicans demanding civil rights.  They marched down the streets flying Mexican flags and chanting in Spanish! \n\nCan you imagine any other group mounting such a display of nationalism bin any other foreign country?\n\nP. S.  My father is a Mexican. I speak and write fluent Spanish but my allegiance is to the United States because this is where I live and earn my livelihood.

I'm really not sure, i would want to fight for my birth country yet i dont know anything about it. I dont know whether they're in the right or wrong and who i will be fighting alongside. If i fight for the country i have lived in most of my life, then i would have a patriotic feel.

I understand how you feel.  I am very sympathetic about the immigrants wanting to become citizens.  I believe that I would also do what ever I could to make a better life for my family.  BUT... the present protests going on, has really ticked me off, and one of the biggest reasons was seeing them waving the Mexican flag.  If they would like to become AMERICAN citizens then they shoudl all be waving the AMERICAN flag.  To me anyone that is waving the Mexican flag is saying in effect " I don't really want to give up my sovereignty to my country, I want to be a Mexican citizen with the rights here also" You just can't have it both ways.  There is nothing wrong with being proud of where you came from, but to be an American, your loyalty should be to the US
