Would you rather for America and Mexico to go to war would you rather have a future of peace?

We all know there's ALOT of tension between America and Mexico. For Americans, it's illegal immigration, for mexicans, it's the land that they claim was stolen from them in over 100 years ago. Come on people. Are we really gonna fight over something that was settled between both countries so long ago? All this racial tension is getting out of hand and I want it to stop. Not all mexicans are bad and the same goes for Americans. I know this is corny but why can't we just let the past die off and work for a better future? I want my kids to grow up and male friends with Mexican people and not think they're bad because of the stuff he sees on tv. Mexico has so much beauty in it and nobody wants to point it out. America has a great culture too. I've seen things that say nade by Mexican people that say Mexico will take back it's lost land or things that Mexicans will take over America, but what will that do. It's just gonna piss everyone off and eventually a war. We all come from the same places. Mexico was from Spain which is in Europe, and America comes from France and Britain. Stop the fighting. Do you really want your kids to hate a group of people just because of past experiances. Americans are hard working people and the same goes for Mexico. Yes, Mexico is having a rough time with the drug war but if you give us enough time to help our own economy then we would be more than happy to help Mexico. Let's work for a better future.

Americans are mainly angry because they see it as immigrants stealing their jobs and I understand that. Our economy is bad so we need every job we can get and it looks like the goverment is letting people in to help their economy. I can understand why your angry but take a look at how Americans are dealing with it. Everyone seems to be coming to Texas for a better chance at finding a job. I'm a texan and I was a bit angry myself when I first heard about that but compare it to how illegals come to America for a better life because of the way Mexico is. Also, Americans are angry because they feel they aren't being trended to as much as immigrants because they feel their tax dollars are paying for them. I understand it.

Mexicans are angry because they still believe that this is still their land and they want it back. First off, the reason Mexican come here is because they want a better life, it mainly the young people who say that Mexico will take back Aztlán (the Spanish word the American southwest). We can't change the past people. Sorry that's how worked out but if you really do want a better life, you can't just run to another country nor can you rely completely on other countries to do everything. You have to do it legally. If you want to be an American, do the legal thing that way you can hold your head high and be proud to really call yourself an American. America would be more than happy to help Mexico anyway they can.

Come on people, what do you think? Would you rather go to war to fix a problem that can be solved if we just took the time to all work at it. I'm Mexican myself but I want a better future and not for things to be the way they are now. Don't let anger get the best of us. Remember, we all have the same god and if we work for a better future than we can all have an even better eternity in heven.

    I understand where you are coming from.

    Here is how it is:

    Mexicans have been taught for decades in schools down there, that the Southwest, and in some cases ALL of North America belongs to Mexico.

    They have been told for decades by their government, Fidel Castro's radio addresses to Mexico, and other South American, and central American communists that ALL of Mexico's problems are the fault of the United States. And that all their problems if life are caused by the United States.

    Racism toward white Americans, and other non-Hispanics is promoted and encouraged by the Mexican government.

    Yes, the idea of conquering "Aztlan" is taught in Mexican public schools.

    Of course we do not want a war.

    But the truth is Mexico has been at war with the United States for a long time.

    Until now, it has been a war with only ONE SIDE fighting.

    Americans are beginning to see that we ARE under attack and we are demanding something be done!

    Educating militant Mexican supremacists in the concept of cooperation and friendship with white Americans would be as difficult as convincing a Nazi from WW2 to love Jews!

    I only see a war happening if Mexico openly condones and engages in the killing of Americans, or if Obama forces Amnesty for illegals against the will of the American people.

    Source(s): Amnesty= Civil War.

    1. Mexico stole the land it is now on, and it abused the people of that country so thoroughly that trusting Mexico is like having a pet, angrey, rattlesnake.

    2. The United States did not steal the land it is on, and if you read most any of the Mexican History Books, you discover they agree. In addition, in those days, what happened was actually a very, very important and necessary security measure for the United States. Mexican Street talk history does it diffirently, and you will need to address that as you can.

    3. They want a better life.. fine with me and they should really get to it. Mexico's corruption is beginning to wear thin on all the Mexican People.. not just poor. And please do trust me.. that IS where they are going to get their better life.

    4. YOU may help Mexico all you want. Until the corruption is under control, and the border intrusions are old and faint in memory, YOU, and your help, may be all they get so far as I am concerned. Mexico has a problem.. American Taxpayers are human being too.. they want to spend their money on their own family.

    5. Aztlan is a mythical place, and actually created by the prisoners in Texas Prisons. You need to get with a history book long and hard, and make sure the History Book is Mexican, and printed before 1970. Other wise, you will simply read the Castro version of Mexican History.

    6. How many times have the Mexican Nationals threatened the United States over the last ten years? Dozens, and dozens of times... do it our way, or there will be very serious consequences. The guy that said that was on dope, and really, really should not hae done it.

    ======================

    Any chance you could get this done today, or perhaps tomorrow?

    Look at all the illegal aliens (mexicans) they are trying to get out of Arizona. Now Mexico is saying its racist but Mexico wants illegals in the US so there unemployment goes down and the US's goes up. The illegal aliens (mexicans) also build up the Mexican economy by sending the money they have illegally taken to Mexico.

    The tension is between Americans and the illegal immigrants, not between America and Mexico.

    If it's peace that you want, then try convincing the illegals to return to their own country. Americans don't need a history lesson. We know our history. We don't care about "What If or Because Of " insinuations. Just obey our current laws! It's as simple as that.

    Your trying to tell us to forget about having over 20 million people in our country that don't belong here. It isn't going to happen. Want peace between our races? Then quit breaking our laws and play by the rules, Pal.

    It is crazy but everyone is fighting for a land that is called North America which does not belong to them. Doesn't anyone realize that these claimants has no right to this land? This country belongs to the INDIANS, which the whites exterminate, marginalized and vanished in their own land. They and no one else owns America!

    I read a historical book about what the whites did to Mexico. They antagonized the Mexican who has inferior weapons and then conquered what is now called New Mexico. Wise guy!

    Yet, now, it is different. This is a human struggle. Life now is so different unlike before. There are so many people on earth, and less job, less food and less on everything. Just last night, I saw on T.V. a

    Japanese who owns two companies and a bar. He showed a picture that he formerly owned a brand new BMW and paid in cash. But, that was before.

    His company got bankrupted and he is living with a Japanese girl working in the Bar. For free accommodation, he has to do house choir, prepare breakfast and do laundry, and he is paid 5 pounds or 10,000 yen a day. He said, he prefer this rather than being homeless. The bar girl just dine and wine with the guest and no sex is involve. Old business men just wanted a little attention. The bar girl cried one time and complain that no matter what she does, she just could not set free from poverty. Her bankrupt partner said, about 30,000 Japanese commit suicide as a result of economic downturn.

    Well, this is the situation now. This is a global recession, and people are preoccupied how they can make both ends meet, how they can survive. Fighting for land and for greener pasture is natural occurrence especially now a days.

    In the Philippines, it is something very unusual. The Chinese who numbers about 2 million enslave 90 million Filipinos. All major industries and business here is owned by Chinese. Even our government is controlled by Chinese. The Filipinos are at odds just what to do. It is only in our country where millions of private employees works on contractual basis. There is no permanent position, you have to renew your contract every 6 months.

    The media, the T.V., radios, and newspapers are all controlled by Chinese. There is no more option for Filipinos except to work abroad. Salaries here is dirt cheap. For a 600 US. dollar dental service in America, you can get same service in the Philippines for a low as 30 dollars. One of our Industrial magnate who appeared on the 500 most wealthiest businessmen is number one union buster in our country. He is a Chinese. He wants all his thousands of employees to be hired on contractual basis.

    Dear Rebel:

    The only reason that a Mexican would want to come over here, is because their own country is a **** hole. So we should allow millions to come here and make this place a **** hole??? I am only upset with the ones who do not have the balls to come here legally, or make an attempt to make their country a better place to live, and this one really gets me going them over here waving their ugly piece of **** flag.
