I'm glad you posted this thread because it's been on my mind with all of this immigration talk going on. I, too, am against illegal immigration for the same reasons as most people. The jobs, added cost to cities, etc. However, I LOVE the Mexican people in general. I live in Los Angeles and I have NEVER (yes, NEVER) seen a Mexican panhandler. I appraise houses, many with Mexican homeowners, and they are always the nicest folks and keep loving homes. They are, to a person, the hardest working people I've ever met.
Now that you mention it, I've never ever seen a Mexican panhandler in Phoenix or in New York. They are pretty hard working people. I love practicing my spanish with them. They're always eager to help me learn. Plus, Mexican food and cerveza is yum yum!!
People don't hate Mexicans but they create animosity by coming here illegally, refusing to learn English, creating an oversupply of low wage workers keeping incomes for Americans lower. Why should the USA accept illegal Mexicans when they don't accept illegal Hondurans?
because they mostly come here illegally, take our jobs and then send the money back home. Most refuse to assimilate because many hispanics feel Americans are stupid.

Hating Mexicans: legal aliens from Mexico are usually Ok, it's the illegal kind that I all but "hate".
Just HOW would you know the difference?? Why not rail against those business guys (Americans) who troll the streets hiring those begging illegals? NO?? It's easier to blame the illegals because they are not Americans....Talk about double standards!!

Sorry..People throw Trash everywhere all the time..Illegals do NOT hold that monopoly LOL Ignorance should NEVER simply be applied to illegals (but easy to do given propaganda daily via social media )..Best get a grip on just who you want to paint as living like PIGS!!
You hit the nail on the head. What I find is those who disparage other ethnic groups usually have no personal relationships with any members of that group.
