Since its discovery, foreigners have entered America in search of freedom and work. Those who enter to stay are called immigrants. Those who enter to work and then leave are called migrants. Throughout the 20th century, migrants entered the U.S. from Mexico to perform seasonal agricultural work – not always with permission. In the last 10 years, the U.S. has increased border patrols to make it more difficult to enter the U.S. without permission. Foreigners desperate to enter the U.S. for various reasons have responded by paying higher fees to human smugglers and by accepting greater personal risk. But migrants, who typically leave, re-enter, leave and re-enter, have responded to these higher costs and greater risks… by staying in the U.S. Entonces… more effective border patrols have persuaded some illegal migrants to become illegal immigrants.

THESE GRINGOS SEEM TO HAVE A HARD TIME ADMITTING THAT WITHPUT MEXICANS AND ALL LATINOS THIS COUNTRY'S ECONOMY WOULD COME TO A FULL STOP IN LESS THAN A WEEK POR QUE I DOUBT THAT THEY WNAT TO GO OUT TO A FIELD AND WORK FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS EACH DAY IN THE SUN AND NOT EVEN BE PAID MINIMUM WAGE FOR ALL THAT WORK

SURE THEY ARE ALL SO PROUD OF THIS COUNTRY BUT THEY HAVENT STOPPED TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THEY DECIDED TO TRY AND GET RID OF THE LATINOS THAT MAKE THEIR STUPID ECONOMY MOVE

IF YOU STOP TO THINK ABOUT IT THE REASON THAT ALL THOSE GRINGOS ARE SCARED IS CUZ THEY ARE BEGGINING TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS MORE OF US THAN OF THEM AND THEY KNOW THAT EVENTUALLY WE ARE GOING TO TAKE BACK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS

THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE WALL IS TO TRY AND SLOW US DOWN BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT MORE ASI QUE THEY BETTER GET READY POR QUE IT MAY NOT BE THIS YEAR, IT MIGHT NOT BE NEXT YEAR...BUT IN TIME MEXICANS AND ALL LATINOS ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY

I don't know what is wrong with some Americans .Them calling us Tomatoe pickers or f up gardeners so what if Some of them are,huh .We are doing all the work.Mypeople came here to work, just work. with imense diginity. They didn't want us to suffer, they came here to give us education better lives. Isn't America called the land of opputunity? My respects to all my people and to all of those who aren't racist against Mexicans or latinos.
