The second biggest myth (”climate crisis” is first) in this country is that these people want “a path to citizenship.” Mexicans love Mexico and their Mexican culture. They have absolutely NO INTEREST in becoming Americans. They only come to the U.S. for the big BUCKS! I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the reason the Mexican government wants them “legalized” is so that they can tax (or extort) the money they make here and then send back to Mexico. That may sound dumb but the Mexican government is up to something with all their “immigration” crap.
You can’t really generalize about that. Many aren’t interested in becoming American citizens, but many do, especially thos who have lived here since they were little kids and are Americanized. I actually feel sorry for them, as they didn’t make the decision to come. But letting them stay is simply going to encourage more to bring their kids. So in this case standards have to overrule compassion.
Ok, that's untrue. I personally know Mexicans who love America that are here legal. I know that my Brother-in-law's father was an illegal immigrant, at one time, but has been naturalized since.
There may be large segments of Mexicans here that ARE as you describe; however I do not think it is particularly right to use such an all-inclusive statement.
