About Mexico?

Question

No offense,im sorry but did you know this fact about Mexico?

Living in mexico is equal to smoking 2 packs of ciggarrettes a day?

Do you really want to live in a place like this?Now I see why they illegally come to America.They are jealous and desperate.

Answer 1

No offense? Jealous and desperate?  I am an American living in Mexico and have learned many things that most Americans don't know about Mexico in my 8 years in this country.  No offense to you but you sound like a typical, arrogant American that gives the rest of us a bad name.  Instead of criticizing a whole country's people, culture and dilemmas they face why not trying to learn something about them first.  Mexico certainly has a lot of problems but so does the U.S.  In Mexico family is much more important than in the U.S. In the U.S. kids cant wait to leave their house at 18, here its not like that at all, families stick together, grand kids visit their grandparents, nephews get along with their aunts and uncles.  I think there is a lot to be said for that.

Answer 2

in the town where i live have been more than 50 killings this years ,and it is more in the mountains.

in acapulco  a few weeks ago thet stuck the heads of some policeman on the gates of the police station,and kidnapping is a national sport by the looks of it

2 packs of sigarettes is a mild comparison

Answer 3

I agree with you it is nasty there. and to the last girl that write lilianna if usa is not that good then go somewhere else B****. Deal with it its facts and it is all of mexico pretty much

Answer 4

That statistic applies to Mexico City (not the entire country), and that's because it is very smoggy, is at a high altitude, and is in a lake bed ... so the pollution has no way to escape. There are lots of other places to live in Mexico other than Mexico City ... but the economy there is very bad ... the way ours will be in another generation if we keep farming out work, destroying unions and paying the top executives ridiculous salaries: a two class system. The very rich and the very poor.

Right now the poor in Mexico and Central America come here to find work which, while available there, doesn't pay a living wage (unions have seen to that here, in the past ... no more).

Consider yourself fortunate to be in a prosperous place, and don't be so selfish.

Answer 5

It, only apply to Mexico city 20 million of people there, other places or citys are cleaner. and people is crossing to America to Work because Work in Mexico is Hard to find. Remember the U.S.A. is sending most of the work to china and not to mexico any more.

Answer 6

WEll it may be that but that's not the peoples' motive for coming to America. Mexico is a beautiful place, I am sorry but I don't think you should be saying that fact. It maybe true or not but still don't offend my country.

Answer 7

I agree that you're pretty close-minded on this one.  I have lived in Mexico and don't think I met anyone who wanted to live in the U.S. (it's a bad idea to call the U.S. the only "America", Mexico is a part of America, America is a whole lot bigger than the U.S.).  Those that come, come out of necessity.  Mexico is beautiful, with a gorgeous culture.  There are parts that are polluted, but do you really believe none of the U.S. is polluted?

Answer 8

mexicans don't come to America because of the pollution in MEXICO!!!! they come to America to WORK, so they can send money back to their FAMILIES!!! get your facts straight!

Answer 9

what about mexico

Answer 10

I live in Baja California and nobody ( Mexicans) around here wants to go to the US except to shop. Your question rude and offensive.

Answer 11

No offense, but did you know this fact about the USA: teens have the highest rate of obesity in the world.  And as they turn over from 18 to 19 years old and are considered adults, the fatness doesn't stop.  Just go to your nearby buffet (all you can eat) and look at the fatties.  

I'll take Mexico City's two packs a day in exchange for the fat people.  Mexicans are a lovely people to know and to look at.

Answer 12

Mexico has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Perhaps you should visit a place before your ignorance shows.

Answer 13

not in all the places!

Answer 14

THAT'S NOT A FACT.    Not the equal to smoking part nor the jealous and desperate part either.

Many and I mean MANY would love to live in Mexico.

It's a large country. Has 31 states plus the Federal District (Mexico City), this one faces a huge pollution challenge (just as NY, San Francisco, LA, etc, etc etc any worse than that)    But you have 31 other states to choose from, beautiful places, delicious food, fascinating history, folklore and heritage. Many different languages spoken besides the official spanish and a wide variety of traditions, landscapes, climates, cities and wealthy sites.

If you would travel there and/or live there, you would know VERY different. I know people in Mexico that have been offered to come legally to work and live here in the States, even to have many of their expenses covered and they WILL NOT do it. The US has it's many huge challenges and problems too.

Really, what's your question?

Answer 15

oh your back skifaster six, how you been hun?

Answer 16

HEY... DONT MESS WITH MEXICO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE POLLUTION BUT DONT YOU THINK USA IS THE BEST BECAUSE IS NOT.. PLEASE DONT TALK ABOUT A COUNTRY LIKE THAT..

Answer 17

I dare you to come to Mexico and see reality. There are a lot of bad images about Mexico, but not all of them are true. If you come, you'll love it.

If Mexicans migrate is because the government is not as good as it should be, but we are through a democratic change... it's kind of complex and I don't think a person like you with such archaic thoughts could understand.
