Re: Mexican Army Likely Involved in Smuggling
is this why everyone else in the world hates us? really... what kind of lies are being spread? even if it did happen, i doubt our government is singling out, of all people, latinos. furthermore, it's not like we're just going to let everyone straight into the country, no questions asked. people who believe otherwise are off their rockers.
yes, in some places there is a racist, anti-mexican sentiment, but most people are receptive to legal immigrants. the thought of illegals usually rubs most americans the wrong way, though. we have a system of entering the country and, no matter if you (being a desirous immigrant) think it's unfair or not, there's procedures to be followed. and while some will argue that they do the jobs that no one else wants--lawn mowing, janitorial & cleaning services, farming--the fact remains that many work here for the sole purpose of sending money back to their families in mexico. thus, they don't pay taxes on their income, money earned here in the u.s. doesn't stay here, and they also potentially use other services funded by taxpayers.
