Illegal Mexican immigrants are the ones that put the focus on themselves and then painted themselves as victims. The bill that was up to become law to make illegal immigration a felony and hiring illegal immigrants a felony was intended for every illegal immigrant. Then the Mexicans, knowing that they make up so many of the illegals, took to the street in protest because they knew they would be affected. The Mexicans then played the race card. Then the liberals, pro illegal immigrants, big businesses, and illegals turned it into an attack campaign on American citizens painting them as a population of lazy, unmotivated racists. That's how this controversy started. If they wouldn't break the law then they wouldn't have had anything to worry about.
I used to argue strongly in defense of illegal immigrants before the demonstrations started. The illegal immigrants opened my eyes and made me realize just how wrong I had been. I did not realize just how much these illegals detest Americans, especially white Americans, until I saw them with my own eyes referring to us in such derogatory manner. I know personally of at least 3 other people who had this same revelation. These illegals lost a lot of supporters all across the country by revealing just how arrogant and entitlement minded they are.
Upon this revelation I started doing my own research into the manner and found out about the millions of people that get hurt by having their social security numbers stolen and their identities stolen by these illegals. I found out how much harm has been done to this country by these people. And I am now outraged.
And the insults saying I am lazy because I am a white American and that I wouldn't do the work infuriates me. I have applied for just such jobs numerous times and keep getting told that I'm "overqualified." I have been froze out of the job market because I actually was motivated enough to persue higher education. So now fast food places REFUSE to hire me. And these illegals that I had been defending all of these years have the audacity to call me lazy saying I wouldn't do this work? After I have personally gave food and clothing to some of them? After I have cared for them? I felt like I had been slapped in the face and stabbed in the back at the same time. They will never get my support again.
So I am in graduate school now doing graduate assistantships because I couldn't find a job with my degree since I had no experience and I apparently educated myself out of the available job market in my area EVEN THOUGH I WAS PERFECTLY WILLING TO DO THE WORK BECAUSE I AM NOT LAZY AND HAVE WORKED MY BUTT OFF ALL OF MY LIFE. I have worked my way up from being homeless and pregnant as a teenager after I had been raped and beaten by my ex-husband in retaliation for leaving him nearly killing me, leaving me with disabilities. I sometimes had to go days without food because I had been beaten so bad I was unable to work my job anymore. I had a lot of health problems while I was going to college for my undergraduate degree and was in and out of the hospital with several surgeries so I struggled to keep up my grades, but even with all of that I still managed to make presidents and deans list. I had a high grade point average, because in spite of my medical problems I was NOT LAZY, I was NOT UNMOTIVATED, and I am definitely a hard worker.
So not only did the May 1st protest hurt them, the whole protest leading up to May 1st hurt them as well. I know I am not the only person who got a huge wake up call.
The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.

Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.
The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.
Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.
My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.
They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.
I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.
"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.
Cultural imperialism
We experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our “immigration problem.” Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and events—all of them framed by the media’s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigration’s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of “immigrant rights”—we don’t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.
Another reason we miss what’s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as “good dads,” “hard working folks” seeking to better their lives and their family’s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nation’s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.
Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.
What are these desires?
(1) Political revanchism—to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;
(2) Cultural imperialism—to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially
(3) Economic parasitism—to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo. "
