The Mexicans are Caucasion. They are mixed Spanish (European) and Mexico Indio and that makes then Caucasion no matter what they say.

That would be hilarious if it wasn't so darn sad. Doesn't exactly give you a warm fuzzy.

They are criminals and there is no getting around the fact. I am also sick of the people that say that there are bad illegals and good illegals. There is NOT!!!! They are all criminals and they have all showed they think nothing of breaking laws to get what they want and they pass these same traits on down to their children and on and on and on, etc. This is what is populating the countryside people.
I hear you!!! I read a letter to the editor of a small town newspaper today that just about made me fall out of my chair the way the writer was minimalizing their responsibility for their actions. Here, I'll quote the letter....."Their parents brought them here as infants and toddlers. They attended our schools and work under falsified documents because they were too afraid or didn't know how to become legal in earlier amnesties." So, I guess it's not their fault they are stealing someones identity to work because years ago their parents brought them here? COME ON!!! I wonder how this person would feel if her identity was stolen by an illegal alien? I don't wish that on anyone.

I really think people should be allowed to claim the identity they prefer. If my friends did not wish to be called "Caucasian," that is their prerogative. Besides, how does being of a mixed race make one, automatically, Caucasian? If someone has one African-American parent and one European parent, they are not Caucasian. It seems to me that the same would be true for someone who is, for example, half Mayan and half Spanish.

I never said that being mixed makes anyone C aucasion. Please read again and I would appreciate it if you would not say I said something when I did not. The facts are that the Mexicans are Caucasions and that just happens to be the facts. They can call themselves whatever they want but all it does is show their ignorance or out and out hate of the Caucasion community, which I believe to be the latter.

I do not believe in African-Americans. I do not believe any hyphenated people. Either they are American or they are not.
