That's fucked, around here it's the exact opposite.

you ignorant fucks do realize that just because someone is speaking spanish doesn't make them automatically a mexican?

You are correct most people here in the USA lable spanish speaking people as Mexicans, because they are close by and we have a bunch of them but not always the case for sure.

I never got it. How you Americans can be proud of your country? You don't have an own language (surprisingly English is from England), have a pathetic 300 years long history... America is a nice country, but these threads are just ridiculous.

so according to your reasoning.. Canada and Australia must also be discredited as countries because english is their primary language? ::)

People everywhere are proud of their heritage. I don't know where you're from, but you find a reason to be proud despite being around a long ass time and still not being a world power. But I'm sure there's good schnitzel, or vodka, or some reason for you to feel important.
-
How'd you get through the impenatrable wall of Mexicans guarding the parking lot? They do that here anyways in Lowe's and Home Depot. They'll chase you down if your driving a truck and they think you have work.
-
what do u expect next to english ,spanish is the second most spoken language in america.and in some areas probably first.

We are all immigrants bro we never had our own language.

Yep, there is nothing bad in being proud of your country in a humble way. But being openly racist and arrogant like the starter of this thread, is ridiculous, especially from an American. Mr.Nobody said it right, you guys are all immigrants.. so be racist against newer immigrants? WTF?

I cannot agree more. I have no understanding of this type of hate. Most people over here have forgotten where we came from. This country is great because of its diversity.
Ignorant fucks.

If the hatred wasn't directed towards the Mexicans, it would be another group. That's just how it is.

x2. I don't like them here and would be very pissed off too but I've got to say at least they work. I can hire a few of them (for decent $, I'm not paying slave wages) right after the farming season to help me with my business for a few days and they will work their asses off. Most of them send a percentage of their hard-earned money back to their families in their native land and I've got to respect that.
Hell, I wish we could trade one minority for the other. These ppl ACTUALLY WANT to work. I do believe they need to assimilate correctly (learn English & become a citizen) or get out though.

I would trade a Black for a Mexican any day. ;D

I would trade a gypsy for a black and a mexican any time.

Not me. My accomplishments are something I'm proud of, but being proud of circumstances of birth is something I can't relate to. It's like being proud of rolling a seven. Maybe it's a different kind of pride. I never felt as though I had a particular cultural heritage anyway so I never understood this sort of thing. ____ pride (Latino, Black, Gay, Carribean... you can put any word in the blank except 'White') always strikes me as repackaged tribalism, PC racism, we're so great we're better than the rest of you, etc.

What would be so hard if these illegals made a slight effort to learn a bit of English, rather than us bending over for them all the time. How hard to understand the aisle signs for Tools, Bath, lumber, Electric, Flooring, etc. And the very hard to understand "Mens" sign of course has to read "banos". Lowes and Home Depot have all these signs in SoCal. The illegals all seems to understand ER , social services, welfare office, family aid, etc very well without being in Spanish. The Bar's and Liquor Stores don't have signs in Spanish. A few in the crappy area's may.
Not race hate, just being annoyed that these law breakers disrespect the US borders and laws. Law breakers by the fact that they entered the US illegally. Not to mention the high rate of TB,STD and other infections among them. A fact not mentions on the news. Getting into the US legally requires a health check, a workable skill, passable English, education and crime background check.

It's amazing how they cant speak English unless their paycheck is .01 cents off.

I agree and this goes for any country that someone decides to relocate to, the best thing you could do for yourself and others is to learn the national language.

There are a lot of labor working mexicans that bring in much dollars for home stores. They are just targeting their customers. I'm pretty sure if asians were doing a lot of the same work the signs would also be in chinese.

you're stupid. Racism has nothing to do with bilingual signs at stores. The point is catering to another ethnic group that doesn't assmiliate in America. Go to Mexico, Honduras, guatamala, panama, costa rica & see how many bilingual signs you see in their stores.
Racism is thinking your own race is better than another one.
Signs have nothing to do with race. In America signs should be English only.

this is the whole point. Everyone's money is green. It doesn't matter if you're a Mick, polak or spic.
It doesn't make it right though. People should assimilate!!
I'm an immigrant in America & I effing learned the language!

Yes, but do you know why McDonald's menus have the actual photo of the food on it? That's because a lot of Americans can't read. Putting a photo to appease those that can't read and putting something in spanish for those that don't know english are the same thing.

the only way to escape this is to head north.
thats all you can do.
up in idaho there are mexicans, but not to many of them that they get out of hand and start protesting laws and such. they know their place and live in their own communities. they are there for work and they dont forget that.
down south, they think they run the place. sheer numbers give them this false confidence, and its working.
i cant wait until the end of july when the immigration bill goes into effect.

90% of these 'mexicans' are actually good honest hardworking people, who DO try very hard to learn english. they come over because they are dirt poor and have nothing and are looking for work.
these, are not the ones the stores are 'catering' to.
they are catering to the other 10% coming over, the rich mexicans from the upper class who have been coming over IN MASS to texas/arizona buying properties, driving around their mercedes and completely ignoring the rules of the road, generally being obnoxious and oblivious to those around them, treating america like their personal playground. THESE are the ones who are spending all the money. THESE are the ones the stores are catering to.
the poor mexican immigrants are almost all good people. the rich ones are the ones THAT I FUCKING HATE

it's not the same thing.
So any restaurant that has pictures of food is for illiterate people? Hahha riiight.
The literacy rate in america is 90some percent ... So mcdonalds is trying to corner the illiterate market ?
Why aren't other companies doing it?

Lol to anyone considering immigrating legally it's a slap in the face and just plain disrespectful. I know loads of people busting their balls to get legal status. I myself am getting an engineering degree in order to relocate legally. They first off seem to have no respect for borders or basic laws. Take what many spend years earning, and wherever illegals go they undermine the culture, overburden social support, and drop the working wage. In the states you guys love to say they do work that no one else is willing to do. That's bs in anyother country the work is done by people who simply get paid more. How many carpenters, do you think are out of work because of illegals undercutting the market, or students who can't pay off debt, because seasonal jobs they relied on, such as farm hands are way underpaid.

all the 12 million which in reality are 20 million ,,all of them will get legal status and become citizen ,,its a matter of a year,,there is no other solution and they may save america and bring new blood in because america urgernly need it ,,america is on the verge of collapsing ,,the society is falin apart due to generation nothingness controlling everything,,most americanos from within are racist,,im not talkin about the oold generations btu the newer one called generation nothingness,,they are very into themselves and into their own survival due to their country falln apart,,
what will happen is ,,all 20 million will get worker visa with path to green card and citizenship and wil become completely legal unless murdered someone or some crime to that level,,at the same time the borders will be loaded with more national guard and fence will be created ,,fence that will work because it will be similar to the fence the israelies put in west bank ,,its being talked abiotu riht now ,,it all gonna happen simultaniously,,
americana isd a nation of immigrants,,everyone hate everyone btu they are one for comfortability reasons,,every one within the borders of the usa should become legal like reagandid back in the 80s ,,thats the only way to solve the problem and maybe just maybe save americana from distruction,,
they do need to learn american though,,its not very hard,,its nto even english ,,its uniqe language that a baby can speak,,look at gh15 been talkin american gybrish for many years and understood to the t ,,no tthat hard ,,they gotta do it and they will as soon as you give them the light they look for,,
the ones who come to americana legaly shoudl and will have faster track to citizenship,,in my opinion they are wasting their time since living in americana now days its disaster then again the ones already in cant do nothign about it ,,,
the power of a leading democracy is in its ability to demonstrate it day in day out,,unite not devide,,the strangth of americana is based on immigrants ,,legal and illegal ,,the poroblem is the big goverment ,,thsts the big problem of americana

Solid post!
lowering of wages is what makes it unwanted jobs

OK so there is all this political crap that the governors are stirring up to divide and conquer.
Reality is - these "Mexicans" come from many countries from Latin America and come here to work hard for very little $$.
The Agriculture biz in California would probably crumble without them.
Should we be more formal about the whole thing? Yes, make the border a giant strip mall funded by walmart and turn the whole think into a revenue generating business. All Proceeds go to Calif. debt and not any politicians, they're worse than Wall Street.
