If you have ancestors or relatives from Mexico are you likely to support illegals coming over to the USA ?

Question

Or not? Why?Are people who have ancestors or relatives from Mexico more likely to want them to come over to the USA illegally or not? Are they more likely to support illegals coming over this way rather obey our laws about immigration ?

Answer 1

I have many friends that are Mexican, and many of them have relatives that still live in Mexico. And some of them have relatives that got her illegally. It's hard to generalize on their stance about illegal immigration, however. Some of them think it shouldn't matter how they get here, and that legal avenues take way too long. Others think that if their grandparents or parents could do it legally, then so should everyone.

Answer 2

Yes, they would want the rest of their family close to them.



That's a tough question.  We are full blood American Indians.  So to me you all are the encroachers.

My Grandparents were living in Tucson, AZ and also had a Ranch in Sonora, MX. Back in the mid 1800, 1860's the borders were blurred. People were always traveling back and forth without regard to what country they were in.   My Mother was born in Mexico in 1922 but raised in USA.  Went to schools here and speaks almost no Spanish. She worked in the US shipyards during World War II; she served her Country and raised her children as US Citizens.  

I've heard of people who came over to the US, in early 1800 to 1900, illegally, and raised their families.  Lived and died as an illegal immigrant.  Yet we don't say anything about our illegal, Swedes, Germans, Irish, English, Aussies, Canadians, Etc.  And don't be so naive  to believe that it is only Hispanics and Asians who enter illegally.  

Give me a break...Besides, we are in the end of days...just get rid on the lawbreakers...

Answer 3

Well, it depends.

For me, yes I am more likely to support. My grandma had applied for her citizenship and she died ( ten years after applying ) before she was able to come to America. So I can understand not being able to wieght to get citizenship. It is easy for some, but long and tedious for others. Especially, since alot of hispanics aren't necessarily educated and the paper work is probably extremely difficult for them.

And many people who come from Mexico, do so because they are poor and they need the money. It is a means of survival. So I bet they understand why others are coming to America more than most americans, because here in America most people ( some do ) but most don't have to deal with the poverty of other countries so we are just oblivious to the plights of others.

I definetely think it is easier to come over to the USA if a family member has done it, because trying to sneak across is scary and not knowing what you are going to do when you get across can be even scaried. But having someone who is already here can give you insight, they can tell you what to expect and maybe even apply and get you a job before you get here. At the very least having family here will give an illegal a place to stay til he or she is able to make your own money.  

Answer 4

Yes I have family that is from Mexico that legally imigrated to the US.

NO, I do not support illegals crossing into the US.  They make it hard on all the legals.  They should do it the legal way and apply before coming into the US.  

Answer 5

I have family in other countries that I want in America.  But I am against illegal immigration.  There are laws, and they are to be followed.  If you really love your family, then you won't bring them into this country illegally and potentially cause them to never be able to live here ever again, or worse.  What happens if they get shot or killed?  Or they need serious medical attention?  They are screwed.

Answer 6

You wont have a say in the matter soon...........

Are you not aware of The North American Union? (Goggle it). It’s a treaty signed in 2005 that Bush signed that amalgamates US, Canada and Mexico as one country destroying all borders. Your stars and strips are to go as well as the dollar. New currency is called the Newmero (goggle it).  You maybe should be asking why you have not heard of this, you certainly will not hear about it on mainstream media.  Most Americans are unaware of it.

In 20 years time there will be no US, only an area of the only an area of The North American Union. It will become a police state directed by the new world order and the population will have been carefully reduced by 85%.

Answer 8

we as Navajos think most of you are the occupiers

Now we like you and tolerate you; but  people from tijuana to argentina ( being them latin americans) have the right to move freely all over  their ancestral land  just the way you do beyond Burgerland.

.....The South does exist.

Answer 9

No, not necessarily. Mitt Romney Grandfather was born in Mexico and he supports border security and is against illegals in this country.  

Answer 10

No legal immigrant (or ancestor thereof) that I know supports illegal immigration.

Answer 11

No they aren't likely to support them.  The illegals give the good Mexicans a bad name and they hurt the good people.  I know many Mexicans and many people who have Mexican in their family and most of them don't like the illegals.
