Ungrateful Immigrants!! -Video-
 

I am not racist or prejudice by any means, but i've lost some respect for Mexicans. It's really messed up that Miss USA gets Boo'd by the crowd at the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City. It was said that she was boo'd not because of her personality, but for the policies of our government! That's fine, have your opinions about our country, but stay the hell out if you don't like it!! 1000's of immigrants flock here everyday, but yet they insult us on national television. What's your opinion?

Um, the people booing were obviously not immigrants.

you're right, but i still find it a little messed up that the USA allows so many Mexicans to come in and try to get work, and make a better life for themselves, yet we get slapped in the face when we go there.

dude. there's lots of policies the US has that really make life difficult for other people. Not to mention they *may* be a little sore over us annexing Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico along with bits of Nevada and Colorado.

And since we're in America and all, shouldn't we respect the right of people to criticize?

The people that were booing are the mexicans with money. and the policy's and actions of the US government have hut their bottom line. So how would you feel???

Sorry to say, but you know very little of what you are talking about.

I would feel that it's silly, childish and inappropriate behavior. It's just a BEAUTY CONTEST for gods sake!

I think that Miss USA acted with real class and poise.... unlike the audience in the theater.

Good for her.:2 cents:

i'm not going to disagree with you there. i definitely don't know much about the issues that may lie beneath. i'm basically looking at it like this: I live in Central Florida where there are a lot of Immigrants, whether legal or illegal, and i have no problem with it. I assume that a majority of them are legal, so it looks like there is some effort being made to give them a chance to come and work and live like citizens.

..like i said, you're right, i definitely don't know much more about what lies beneath the surface. I guess that's why i was surprised to see us get boo'd like that.

You are really out of touch.

very funny, that argument doesn't really hold water

have you hugged a native american today?

ROFL... for some reason that's funny as fuck.

Mexico has made its own people poor and insists that America pay for it. Yes we did get California, Arizona, and New Mexico, after we paid for it, I believe it was $15 mil.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

well I won't get into how Mexico screws their people over, or how we help, but....


The US took most of the Southwestern US from Mexico as a result of the treaty signed after the Mexican-American War. The $15 mil was half the amount the US offered Mexico prior to the war.

Don't fuck with a former history teacher.

Everybody hates the US. She'd be booed pretty much everywhere in the world.

:2 cents:

Dude, you are not a racist. At what point did Mexico become a race, or even a ethnicity?
I am hsipanic and grew up around Mexicans, Central Americans and even Caribbean hispanics. And the most racist group of people I have ever met were Mexicans.

and that purchase was for only a very little bit of the land acquired.

Should have took the first offer.
Dumb assess
Have been making bad business decissions ever since

I'm sure you're intelligent enough to be kidding about that.

Frankly, I am partialy kidding but on the other hand. I am sick of the Mexican flags, I am sick of the Mexican politicians, I am sick of my tax money going to people that dont deserve it or pay into the system. I am sick of the time my mother sat in the emergency room for 24hrs because all the beds were taken by guess who. Mexicans. I am sick of seeing hospital after hospital close down because a certain group people dont pay there bills. I am sick of seeing 50% of California's budget go to education and yet only 45% of Mexican children seem to able to graduate.
Now who cares about the history part and lets deal with what is at our front door.

see what they do once the US takes over Mexico in the next 5-10 years

somewhere down the line in your own family you have imigrants. Unless you are native american ofcourse.

What you call Mexicans now where people that lived in TX Cali etc at one point, untill the white man came and drove them back.

And before you say anything I am white as can be, it's just a fact that I am stating.

Sebs

yeah those damn Mexicans will get you every time.

We could help Mexico by pouring billions into building their country instead of bombing others, assuming Mexico had politicians who were only as corrupt as our own.

The British really got screwed then! How much did they get after we kicked their asses?

The spanish are native to mexico?

There wasnt a substantial population of Mexicans in the South West area before the Mexican American War. Like the Spanish in the 1400's, Mexico drew a arbitrary line across the south west and said this is ours. Hell the native americans at the time, didnt even like the Mexicans.
Santa Ana, came out of retirement, ran a piss poor campaign, and didnt even come to Mexico City to defend the capital. Hence the lyirc in the Marine Corps fight song; "From the Halls of Montezuma".
We offered $15mil for the south west or keep half of Mexico. The remaining members of the Mexican legislator, that didnt run away in fear, agreed.

OMG, if you think our politicians are corrupt, then you have never lived in a Central or South American country. That includes Mexico.
We could pour a trillion dollars into Mexico and the money would only go to one place. The rich and politicians, normaly they are one in the same.
