Why are Mexicans fleeing Mexico by the millions? Don't Mexicans have any pride?

to fight for their country and make it better? What kind of a people leave their homeland to go somewhere where they are seen as subhuman slave laborers who employers can do as they wish to???

    Why do idiots always say the whole "well whites came from Europe to the USA and took the Native American's land". Uhm, well those whites have multiplied and made the USA. And slaves (just being real).

    But the poor ones come here or the ones who want to leech off the government. People who come here illegally get so much benefits it's not even funny, while the legal ones literally PAY for the illegals.

    I HATE when they wave their stupid Mexican flag too, IN THE USA.

    lol these massive loads of Mexicans we get are not your average working class suburban type. Have you seen them coming across the border? Because I have!

    I swear to you this is the honest truth, the majority of them come here because you literally can leach off of the government here and provide for your family (family of 8 usually in their case) and only have to have 1 person from the household work some menial job.

    Mexico has no welfare.

    Mexico DOES NOT WANT THEM! And Mexico is HARD on their low-ball criminals.

    You ever take a peak at Mexico's immigration policies? Good Lord. And these 'hardworking illegals', I've been around them, 99.9% of them are absolute *******. Americans who can't speak Spanish just see them stand there and smile so they think they're innocent dudes just trying to get by and take care of their families.. uh uh.

    Put 2 and 2 together... doesn't make sense does it. We aren't talkin' Brave New World here.

    And I want to point out that at, least my family, came here to escape the Church of England and live in a nation where Church and State were separated and there was going to be a pact to have a SMALL government with checks and balances so they could never be involved with your daily decisions, and less population which meant more land for the family to prosper off...

    Pretty big jump from a Datson truck crashing through the border and 15 dirty Mexican men and a pregnant chick jumping out with a bottle of Tequila in their hands searching for the closest free clinic eh? So take that "BUT WE'RE ALL IMMIGRANTS" sniffling BS elsewhere.

    Fifteen people were killed in the Juárez region on Saturday, bringing the year's total to date to 1,700.

    This means an average of 242 people were murdered in the border city each month since January.

    Mexican authorities reported 290 slayings in July, including 25 girls and women.

    But yet we see Mexican flags being flown every where.Mexican license front plates. When are they going to wake up and realize pretty soon there will not be a Mexico left.It is going to explode into a full civil war. The gov cannot defeat the drug cartel not when 80% of gov employees are on the cartel payroll.Mexico is a failed country.Why these people are so proud of a country that if they were to be sent back they do not want them back as they are seen as a burden to the country.

    It's only Mexico's poorest that come here at the behest of the Mexican government. Remittances from the United States is a major source of revenue for Mexico.

    All other races (except oriental asians) are weak and spineless, they would rather come live as a second-class citizen to white people and live in a white country than have a spine and try to help fix their own country.

    I don't want to say white people are the greatest race but... ethnic minorities are literally dying to live with white people.

    All the white people could leave America and come back to Europe and the ethnic minorities would STILL mess it up and try to move to Europe to follow them.

    like it matters since there going to be a North American Union between the US, Canada, and Mexico and so all this wont matter then.

    are you fighting for your country? people move to different places for something better.......i don't see what is wrong with that, you have to strive for a better future and any immigrant can prove that they can do more than your average american. They know what it's like to suffer, where Americans are given everything. I see them as hard workers, not "subhumans" everyone is a slave in this economy, go on vacation for a while in Mexico and see what freedom is really like, learn to appreciate the natural beauty of the world.

    I don't see what makes you any better than any one else.

    It's mostly the country's poorest, least educated people who migrate to the US illegally. These people do not represent the majority of us. The reality is that most Mexicans have no interest in migrating to the United States.

    Edit - And contrary to what someone here said, not all Mexicans are poor and life in Mexico is not as bad as the American media loves to portray it. Mexico is a first, second, and third world country all at the same time depending on where you live. And yes, there are many educated/rich/upper-class Mexicans, but you don't see them that often since most of them have no reason to go "search for a better life" in the United States.

    Edit 2 - Why are people giving me thumbs down for saying the TRUTH? Or do they just not want to accept that the misconceptions and stereotypes that they considered reality are very inaccurate?

    Because they are parasites. They could not live without a host.
