In Mexico, how are the people who go to America for work viewed?
Are they seen as people who are trying to make money for a better life and approved off? Young people going on an adventure and glamorized? Are they seen as unpatriotic people and shamed? Or is it more pragmatic, like good one more job for someone who stays here? Or one less person to deal with here? Any thoughts?

Well, a derogatory term was designed just for those who go to America looking for work--mojado. It means wet, which basically references how the emerge from the Rio Grande river.
2 :
like nothing, like normal people who go to work? what can someone think when they're basically dying of hunger. And no the young people aren't looked at as if they were going to an adventure because they too go to America for the same reasons as the older do, to provide some money for the family.
3 :
not good
4 :
they should feel they abandoned their country and their people to run somewhere they are not wanted or welcome.
5 :
Lucky! with better looking futures and making more money.

illegal immigrants who come to America come to better themselves financially. They risk their lives to come and look for a low-wage jobs to feed their children. People criticize them without having any knowledge of how severe their problems are in their own country. Many times it is not even a parent that comes. Sometimes it might be the older siblings who come to work so they can support the rest of their family because their own parents are too old, sick or have died. You want them to come legally but that is near impossible. Getting a working permit is not an easy thing. Unless you have political influences or a bank account with a substantial amount of money then you will be denied a permit. Tell me whats the point of coming here as an illegal if you have that? Anybody in their shoes would do anything to be able to feed or clothe their family. You can critize as much as you want but a parent would rather go through hell and back before they see their children going to sleep hungry and waking up the same way... So in answer to your question. People in their own country do not see them unpatriotic they see their need and wish them luck and hope that this will help their family.
7 :
As brave heroes!
8 :
It is so common place I doubt anyone gives it much thought at all. The families are grateful for the help financially.

a grocery store they do here in NY

That is tough. You may try lawn mowing, my 14 year old neighbor is always busy. He charges between $10-20 per lawn, depending on the size. You can also try dog sitting/walking, babysitting, washing cars or taking care of people's plants when they are on vacation. I know kids in ABQ that do all of these things for extra cash. Unfortunately, not a lot of businesses hire kids your age because of the insurance liabilities. For future reference, Kirtland AFB has a summer hire program that you can apply to when you are 16 and ABQ Ride offers service to Kirtland, in case you are still saving for a car then or gas is $6 a gallon. Good luck.

Why doesn't the US make Mexico part of the US?

Why doesn't the US make Mexico part of the US?
We have many companies that moved to Mexico for lower wages. If we took Mexico into our country, and raised cost to companies that left the US. That would be plenty of money across the board. It would take care of all problems. We would just have to work out how the governing bodies will be set up.

We had a chance in 1848.
2 :
probably i good idea
3 :
We kind of already have. Texas could also be known as North Mexico.
4 :
For the same reason most women don't seek out drunken bums to marry.
5 :
Because Mexico doesnt want to be part of the united states of america. They are their own country with their own set off laws and taxes.
6 :
and take on all of their problems? No Thanks . . . besides, they have nothing to offer us . . . if there were big time oil reserves down there, trust me, Bush would've invaded in '01.
7 :
They probably don't want to. Why do you think it is your decision to make? That is why countries have armies, to defend themselves from people and states that think like you do. How would you think if China decided to cross the water and make the USA part of China, Since they are selling you all the things you own anyhow.
8 :
Probably because the US of A would have to take on, Mexico's pay. We can't afford to live on 10. a week. and they can't afford minimum wage there.
9 :
Not gonna happen in this life time. Imagine the amount of people rushing to get welfare. It would be worse that Puerto Rico. That filthy little island shouldn't even be a commonwealth. All it they do is breed and run to the states for welfare then run back to live fat on our tax dollars. Mexico would be far worse because they have a larger population but on the plus side they are a better class of people than puerto ricans.
10 :
That's a bad idea. Think of all the language problems. Everyone's salaries would go down. All our hospitals and services would be overrun and fail. It would be a mess. No thanks. I like the U.S. as it is.
11 :
Why should we.when it seems like most of THEIR citizens are here ALREADY??!!!
12 :
if you look at it long term, and make it say a 20 year project and not bring in mexico as one huge state, but bring in mexico slowly, mexican state by mexican state, and teach them english and american values, it is actually a really good idea, it'll be a slow process, where everybody can win, mexicans have nothing to lose, hey only gain from such a proposal, except they will have to start calling themselves Americans and English is becoming an international language anyway, and I dont see why they cant be bi-lingual anyway. and then the Union will have probably about 80 or 90 states. its really a good idea when you really think about it.
13 :
Duh! That's already happened! Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, etc. were all part of the Mexican Nation, until we took it from them! H
14 :
That would be like having a nice cold glass of milk and adding mud to it.
15 :
Good question. They should. Not only was California once owned by Mexico, but Mexico is close enough that it could be our 51st or 52nd state. But I guess, the Federal government in Washington D.C. doesn't want to take that action.They're lazy.
16 :
VERY FUNNY.ACTUALLY MEXICANS SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE ALL WESTERN STATES PART OF MEXICO BY SENDING MILLIONS ACROSS THE BORDER.THEY HAVE FRIENDLY PRESIDENT AND SENATE IN AMERICA.
17 :
We didn't steal jack s***. And Mexico pretty much already is here.It's called L.A.,Arizona,Texas. They are everywhere and moving up through the states. Too damn many of them. How can anyone justify them being here illegally?You must think it is ok to go steal cars,because they must need one real bad,rape because they need that too,and murder must not be any big deal since he probably needed to be killed right? If you can justify 1 than you are justifying it all And there is no justifying any of it!!! They sneak here they do not walk in properly and some of you think this is OK? I don't get that. I am all for it through legal channels but they are a drain on OUR country's systems and yes many are on welfare,and criminals. They pop out a kid every 9 months so they can stay since their kids are legal citizens.Isn't that precious.It isn't like that in any other country in the world but here.After all it isn't the kids fault so we would be punishing them by sending them all home!! They don't belong here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a visa get a job. No visa ADIOS!!!!
18 :
hahah didnt you have enough by stealing 8 states.. poor ignorants
19 :
YOU HAVING SUCH GOOD IDEA
20 :
That's funny you might as well say we already have!

Do any illegal aliens from Mexico work for or with you?

Do any illegal aliens from Mexico work for or with you?
A few work for us and I have to say that they are very good workers and do not cause any trouble. No one else here in the US wants to do the jobs they are doing so why are people most people in an uproar about this?...All they are trying to do is make money for their families like all the rest of us, but yet they don't have a green card to be legal. What are your thoughts?

While i can understand what you are getting at, it's not fair to the immigrants that are going through the legal process and waiting their turn. Illegal aliens are not paying taxes etc either and contributing to the country like the rest of us. So no i don't think it's fair and no i don't have any working with or for me either.
3 :
I think they should fire you and send you to Mexico for 2 weeks. All expenses paid, of course.
4 :
I have to correct your statement : "No one else here in the US wants to do the jobs they are doing ". It should read : " Most people here in the US don't want to do the jobs they are doing for such low pay ". I can appreciate the fact that most of these guys work hard for what little money they make and they are just trying to feed themselves and their families , but there is no doubt in my mind that they have both drove down wages ( wages that were already to low ) and put many americans out of work .
