Where did all the Mexicans come from?

I am not a racist person, don't get me wrong. One of my old employees, who is Mexican by the way, happened to be here when all of this was going on and even called them "filthy". She was as upset as I was. You're right, customers are customers, but should I put up with them stealing in my own home?! I think not. That's not a customer, customers pay, these people were jsut plain old theives. They trashed my garage and STOLE from me! Thanks for your response, I am aware that all Hispanics are not Mexican, but when a Mexican tells you these people are Mexican you believe it.

unfortunately, you are right. they are trying to teach Americans to speak another language so that they can understand someone who is a)in this country illegally or b) too lazy to learn the language of THIS country, English. i certainly wouldn't move to a foreign country and expect, no wait, demand they learn english to accommodate me. i've got one universal hand gesture for all of them.

Let me attempt to explain foxxee. I have a group of apartment buildings across the street from my house, over the course of a year there has been nothing but trouble from these apartments, when it never used to be like that. They have been bought out from Chicago slumlords who rent a lot of Section 8 and low income. In the last two months three of my neighbors have been robbed, and one lady even caught the perpetrator selling her jewelry out of the trunk of his car! So much for nice neighborhood. I don't think badly of any race for one persons actions, I have black friends, Asian friends and Hispanic friends. However not everyone is as open minded or educated as I am. Racism exists, and I am not going to turn a blind eye as to why some people feel the way they do, I get it. Maybe all they've had to deal with is people like the ones at my garage sale, who tried to come back today,by the way. Why do I think our tax money is paying their rent? The building I watched them come from is notorious for illegal immigrants, and they didn't speak any English! They had to have their kid translate! You can't even get hired at McDonalds if you can't speak or understand English. Do you think people who are against the immigration bill are against it because everyone crossing our border is an upstanding member of society?

Did you even bother to read the post? I wasn't looking for a history lesson here!
