Thread: Mexicans Sick And Tired Of Illegal Aliens Taking Their Jobs

Upwards of 1 million Mexicans are successfully crossing into the US each year, leaving behind a dearth of laborers. Increasingly, that void is being filled by people like Santiago - poor Indians from remote villages throughout Mexico.

"Our workforce has left," says Tomas Torres, the general secretary of Zacatecas. "So these other people come here, lured by the high demand for seasonal labor. But then they decide to stay."

In no part of Mexico is this situation more evident than in Zacatecas. It has the highest per-capita emigration rate of any Mexican state - an astounding 1 of every 2 Zacatecans are estimated to reside in the US. That opens the door to migrants who come from poor Indian towns in states like Veracruz, Hidalgo Durango, Jalisco, and San Luis Potosi.

"In the last six years, many more people have come from other states to work here," says Laura Macias, a radio reporter in Tlatenango, in the fertile south of Zacatecas. "They come to work, but they stay and cause problems."

According to Ms. Macias, the laborers, largely Huichol Indians from neighboring states Jalisco and Nayarit, have increasingly been accused of thefts, assaults, and even murders in the normally quiet community. The accusations have led to hard feelings toward the newcomers, and tensions in Tlaltenango are on the rise. But, Macias admits, it's proven hard to link crimes directly to any of the Huichols, and she wonders if part of the problem isn't that "locals are resentful that outsiders are earning money in their town."

Then there's the culture shock. "These people are trading in their traditional Indian clothing for Nike tennis shoes and Yankees hats," says Torres. "Sometimes they arrive and they don't even speak Spanish. And they end up begging in the streets."

Great article. What goes around comes around?

they've got the same complaints that we do!

That's funny!

Imagine....and they call us racist when we express the same concerns...I say if the shoe fits.......

I don't mind being called a racist, I will not allow myself to be manipulated anymore by pro-illegal immigrants calling me that name anymore, like the minutemen being called vigilantes, I will , from now on, after being called a racist just smile and call that my badge of honor!

who would ever have thought being a patriotic American citizen would be considered 'racist'? clearly, no one is calling the Senate for Mexico racist

What a bunch of racists. They don't like their new "guests" destroying their communities?

Why can't they put the same shoe on when it comes to us. Its just not good.

Has anybody else heard of Mexicans hiring someone of a lower class to do their job while they go to the US to work? I've heard before that some business owners do this. They "use" people (immigrants) who are below themselves on a social ladder to keep their businesses going in their absence.

Arent these people being alittle harsh? They should welcome them with open arms. Embrace them, learn their culture, GIVE THEM LOTS OF FREE STUFF.
