Mexicans Fear Immigration Plan Email This Story Print This Story

Many in Mexico expressed disappointment Friday with the U.S. Congress' immigration reform proposal, arguing it doesn't let enough Mexicans enter the United States legally to work, while focusing on an arduous path to residency for those who have already taken the illegal path.

It seems that with such a huge influx of Mexicans willing to risk life and limb to relocate to the US you may find yourself asking; " Is it really that bad in Mexico?" If so, why don't the people of Mexico do something about it! There is no reason why Mexico couldn't be a great place to live full, happy, and prosperous lives for its people. Here's a quote I found that may apply here.

"...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." --The Declaration of Independence: July 4, 1776.

People are influenced by the way they grow up. Americans are influenced to be successful and not let anyone hold them back. Maybe Mexicans are raised with a different influence.

It seems they aren't letting a border hold them back. What are you trying to say, that Mexicans are influenced to fail and be held back? I don't think so Hero. The whole reason they are coming over here by the truckload is because they want to have a better life. They can't get that in Mexico because they live in a chased society i.e. two classes - really rich or really poor and not much in between. What they need to do is change the status quo in Mexico if they want to have any chance at a better life over there.

Truer words have never been spoken. This is also the reason the Extreme Left want to take away the right to keep and bear arms.
