Question

that illegals dont pay taxes... maybe if we were legal u'd get taxes. all the stuff we do..why is there still racism against us?

Answer 1

I am mexian and a 15 year old girl living in "America" an I agree that people are dicriminative against mexicans. Has it ever occured to you americans that maybe we are illegal because we are not as lucky to be able to pay for everything and have a good life in Mexico? And also it should not be about racism since mexican is not a race but a nationality. In fact I am completely white and officially 100% not mexican since my great grandparents come from russia and holland. I am only mexican in culture. I am completely proud of my culture and country even if others look it down because of criminals and illegal immigrants. I think people should know everything beautifula and special about mexico and appreciate it as their neighbor country. I have actually read an article recently about how the next 200 years will be and was highly interested in a part about Mexico. It said that in the future mexico will get better in economy and also because of the amount of young children. It also mentioned how it will grow better than the United States. From that article I concluded that some day Americans will be the ones needing help from us and mayb there will b illegal immigrants going to mexico. I hope to live up to see that moment and prove us Mexicans right.

I am actually a 13 year old girl who wrote the whole speech and was about to cry!! hahaah yess i am half mexican and half dutch and i was teased at school because i am mexican and because i wass way too smart and way to nerdy and guess what?now i am a normal eight grader who has many friends and I am proud of being a mexican and tired of racism!!!!!!
