We are a nation of immigrants. The only person who has a beef at all with other immigrants are the First Nations.
@justapal: is it also sad when certain population is on welfare all their lives, keep on producing more kids so the benefits last, and this goes from generation to generation? What is welfare system other than getting something for nothing?
You're barking up the wrong tree
Oftentimes people start talking about the "illegals" and then go on lumping in anyone who had a misfortune to look like Mexicans. Even if that person works in the healthcare field in which the background search is performed prior to hiring. There are many undocumented Canadians in the northern states, scads of undocumented Armenians in the Greater Boston area, undocumented Irish are all over the place. Granted, the Hispanic population is the focus point, but people are here from all over - including the old Soviet Union.
Furthermore, not all Mexicans are undocumented. Can you imagine a Mexican person who is American citizen? I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is negative. This however takes place more often than not. I used to date a Mexican man who was a U.S. citizen; whenever some jerk asked him at work about his green card, he'd reply, I have a PINK card. Do you know what a pink card is? C'mon now, what else a man would be bragging about?
