Well I am surprisingly to see that another side to the immigration story is coming out.
Folks, I am an American of Mexican & Spanish ancestry. I do speak Spanish because of my father. With my mother always English.
I can tell you that there are some of Mexican ancestry feel resentful that Illegals are coming in here, and bringing down wages and getting benefits that we as citizens can’t.
I had my own experience when I had to go to see a doctor. I didn’t have insurance and was unemployed, so I had to go to the county. I had to give $240 bucks UPFRONT or no service. As I did, and sat there in the waiting room. This Mexican lady comes walking in with her 2 kids. She told the receptionist she didn’t have insurance. The receptionist asked her if her kids were insured and she said no. Then the receptionist then asked her if her kids were born here in the US, and she said no except for one who was not with her. The receptionist told her she can try to help her by signing up her child that was born here under some Healthy Children program, and then the rest of them can get coverage thru the child.
That really opened my eyes and I was pissed. Here I am a true blue American, and cannot even get a financial assistance. Yet this woman and her dam Anchor Baby got help.
So yes, there are many Americans with Mexicans who are against Illegal Immigration. This will affect ALL AMERICANS no matter whether your of Mexican, Spanish, Irish, Polish, German, Italian, etc. Ancestry.
Good post.
