Why do the Mexican...???

Question

i just read a moderately racist question similar to mine. The author claimed that all other groups assimilated well into the USA BUT the mexicans...

so i have to ask

what are your views on illegal immigration and why are they that way???

Answer 1

For every $1.00 in taxes paid by illegal aliens they use $17,000.00 in services. Now it doesn't take a genius to figure out that someone has to pay the other $16,999.00! The US taxpayer.

Most states exclude food (except restaraunt food) and clothing from sales tax.

Deport them all and let their countries sort them out!

Answer 2

I am very much against illegal immigration. I live in a border state and have seen first hand the negative impact it has on our country. Crime(especially violent) has went up dramatically,prices are at an all time high,hospitals have went bankrupt etc. etc. There is much more I could expand on but I haven't got all night.

As for taxes, sales tax doesn't count. To even insinuate they make a real contribution with such a statement is ridiculous at best. They take much, much more than they could ever repay in sales tax at walmart.

Answer 3

You get a lot of rude and uncalled for comments on here regarding Mexicans. Well, Latinos in general, not just Mexicans.

I think Illegal immigrants are great people with high morals. They are just here to live a better life, and to provide a better future for their kids, where in Mexico it's sometimes impossible.

These are my views because I know some personally, I know how much they contribute to the US, and I see them work hard at what ever they do.

Answer 4

You dont have a clue!  I certainly wish the only tax I had to pay was the sales tax and I guarantee you, every hard working, tax paying American would agree...  they would love not to have to pay ALL THE OTHER TAXES that fund this country!!!!!

Answer 5

they have to purchase $100,000 of items at 8% in sales tax to pay for 1 anchor baby delivery. do you think they do that.that's IF they collect no welfare of any kind for that kid or no education or anything for that kid. This argument is also getting old.  

Answer 6

An eight percent sales tax is not nearly enough considering all the social programs that the mexicans sponge up like some kind of crazy leech. Your a complete moron if you really believe they don't take away from our nation. How can you compare the eight percent they pay to the thirty one percent the rest of us pay? Go back to sleep and let us do the thinking. Please stop capitalizing to prove a point because all it really says is I'm an idiot.

Answer 7

Because they contribute to the socio economic problems of inner cities. Most illegal immigrants have poor education and not a lot of money. So naturally they have to live in run down neighborhoods like Eeast LA so in effect their kids will hang with the wrong crowd and will be exposed to gang life and such.

Naturally the kids will grow up to be gang members themselves since they are the perfect candidate. Poor, uneducated and a minority and the cycle continues.

Answer 8

They do take away from the U.S.. They take away jobs, and have lowered the pay rate of our nation. They cost us millions of dollars each year in medical expences.

Also I would like to inform you that when they ship their money back to Mexico it raises Mexico standard of living. 80% of the wealth in Mexico is controled by 2% of the population. With no pay increases or any money from the Mexican eliet being tranfered back to the citizens of Mexico then it is only a matter of time that the illegal wages they earned here will be transfered to Mexicos elite families.

Thus the rich will get richer, and the poor will become poorer.

Deport illegals, and keep the dream alive.

Answer 9

to all you who are saying that illegals are taking advantage of the U.S without contributing to it are hard headed, simple minded people. Hello!, when do you see an american daddy's boy or girl working in the fields where we all get our fruit/vegetables? never, of course they dont know what it is to work like this. They work at little office jobs or other jobs and feel like they work so hard. If all the illegals went back home, our fields would go to waste and then the US would really get a clue as to how much we really depend on their labor. There are always going to be people who take advantage of the system, but then again, isn't that a problem with constant americans on welfare too? I think that we do have a problem but don't say that illegals just take away from the country without looking at how they contribute as well. thats just B.S

Answer 10

Well I guess we read the same opinion, I call it an opinion because that's all it is an opinion by someone calling himself "EDUCATED", which obviously hes not because he did not do all the research that needed to be done to give an opinion in this delicate topic.

My opinion is that you can see it many ways. For example many people come here and don't learn the language that doesn't necessarily  means that they don't care about learning it is just that they don't have the time. Work is a priority in their lives. They don't have much leisure time like the americans do. All they care about is work their asses off in order to provide food for the family. I mean I can go on and on about this delicate topic but is more deep then it looks we will have to dig very deep in order to find the answer every culture is looking for but I think is going to be impossible because even if we do find answers people who are hard headed wont get it. That's my opinion......

Answer 11

They should all go back if they are not Legal and I have always

felt that way.  

I did have a dear friend (she passed) who was married to a

Spanish guy.  He did become a resident though and his

family came over here and they were residents also.

The things that bothered me about him were- he wanted my

friend to wait on him hand and foot and she became disabled

so he brought the Foreman grill over by her to cook meat

and all the ingredients for her to make the salad and other

stuff and bring a big plastic bowl and everything.  He knew

how to cook by the way.  I couldn't believe it.

She would be on the phone and he would pick it up and ask

who it was when you were talking and he would interrupt

constantly.  When his family was over, they would talk Spanish

so you would not know what they were talking about and they

knew English.  Sometimes he would get mad and say you

Americans this and that and cut down America.  I told him to

go back home once if he didn't appreciate it here.  Eventually,

he became sick himself but then he started to appreciate

America more then.  He received MORE money from the

government than my friend which I could not understand

because my friend was worse off!  Also, it bothered him

that his brother was on disability so he made himself sick

so he could get on it.  That story would take an entire page.

He said to my friend, how about if you're disabled for four

days out of the week and I'm disabled for three?  What?!

Also, he gave up after my friend passed and passed away

himself a year later.  The bad thing is, he left behind a son

who is now in a foster home.  My friend only

has a sister who is struggling to make ends

meet and his big family did not want to take

the son in.  I don't know, maybe you can see

why I have these feelings now.

Answer 12

They want to have a better life and they are that way because they are not even given a good chance in Mexico.

Answer 13

If you think sales tax makes up for the monetary drain on health care, welfare, legal, and other services we give without payment by illegals you're nuts.

They are bad for this country, that's all there is to it.

ALL illegals need to be deported NOW no matter where they're from.

Answer 14

Illegals immigrants contribute to the economy by helping money circulate, cheap labor and paying taxes for public services that they don't get.

Answer 15

Sure they pay a sales tax........but only on the money that they spend in the United States.

Latino foreign nationals send a boatload of money to their relatives back in their home countries. The money that leaves the U.S, via Western Union is NOT taxed.

All U.S. citizens should view illegal immigration as unacceptable. First of all, it is against the law and, secondly, it negatively impacts efforts to control our country's population numbers. Additionally, American jobs should go to Americans - not foreigners. We have already shipped too many of America's jobs overseas. We need to end that practice. Our children's children may be needing those jobs in the future.

Some assimilation does occur, but illegal migrant workers usually return to their country when it is time for them to retire. They should not be blamed for loving their country and wishing to return to it. In order to help illegals to accomplish this, we should:

BUILD THE FENCE.  SEND THEM PACKING.
