text: Perhaps there are other dynamics at play among the users of this category.  Your question and your responses have more of a moral approach, ie. you look for the positive; you wish to reason and extract some compassion because, after all, they (Mexicans) are from Planet Earth (humans).  \n\nUnfortunately, the responses from the general users of this forum resort to a stereotype of the Mexican population. We say Mexican, because we don't hear any other race being discussed here.   Do you honestly think they would stop labeling the Mexicans if their status is LEGAL? We think it's a great excuse to hide behind the "we are not against Mexicans, we are against Illegal Mexicans."  The focus is race, on prejudice, and aimed at how every American's tax dollars go to subsidize the illegals.  The truth is most of the kiddie generations on this post don't have a job; the truth is their IQ level is not emtionally suited to deal with the differences that makes the world go round.  What's more, the working population of America will pay their accountants to pay as little tax as possible.  Most of it is parroting what is in the news or what the kiddies hear  at home.    If the likes of the hadenoughs and sugarpies ran the world of International affairs, God help us all.   \n\n\nSo to answer your basic question, is there more to this?  Of course, it  is bigotry in denial!   And we will call them out when we see it, because some one has to remind the sugars of the vinegar they spew in the name of opinion, free speech and being so very American!-- all the while creating a problem when one does not exist and then ask "Who, me?" (hadenough).  \n\nApproaching anything "emotionally correct"  is the ticket to avoiding conflict.\n\nSome things never change and there will always be people justifying their behavior.  It takes courage for people to tell themselves the truth, and insecurity prevails in the category of IMMIGRATION posts.  Stay positive in your EMPATHETIC approach and keep provoking the cerebral processes!\n\nAdditional comment:  \n\nWell, well, we told you they would bite; and the focus continues to be deep and thought provoking:  pants down?  pants up?  is that like "inhale"  --  "exhale"?  had enough fruitcake?\n\nLove, Brittany!
