I don't want to be enemies with Mexicans. This atmosphere of us hating them, them hating us - it is wrong. No - Mexicans don't deserve anything more or better than anybody else. The fact that they are Mexican does not entitle them to free American paid for goods and services. But, last time I looked, American isn't exclusive of Mexican. Americans are of European, Mediterranean, Asian, Oriental, Latino, African, etc. and so forth ancestry. I don't know, but I'd like to, if there is any race that isn't represented in the ranks of American citizens.
If the faction that wants illegal Mexicans to be entitled to free or low cost housing, food, clothing, health care, education, and any other thing they can get, then why doesn't this same faction want the same thing for everyone? I mean, I could use free or low cost housing, food, clothing, health care, education, and every other thing I can get. We all probably could. Sounds like some racism and classcism going on to me.
What about all the other immigrants that filled out the paperwork, waited if they had to, got a sponsor if they had to, got legal jobs, learned English and whatever else they needed to learn to pass the citizenship tests? What about all the immigrants that are still going this process? I'm for reform, but why do we have to slap in the face the people who've jumped through hoops to do what we've asked them to do.
This "Day Without a Mexican" idea is defeatist. What if non-Mexican America had a "Do Without a Mexican" day - no service at stores, restaurants, healthcare facilities, museums, jobs, theaters, auto repair parts or services, car washes, or anything? Maybe make it two months of do without a Mexican.
