Mexico's independence marked in Beardstown

They want to be American only for the money, they intend to stay patriotic to Mexico. It may be true they love our dollars more than they love their country but they actually think remaking the USA into Mexico will be good when it would just destroy the USA and impoverish it.

You are an IDIOT...."These People" came here to live a better life for themselves. It is not that they don't want to just wait for their Papers but, it is so damn expensive to get the papers. How are people supposed to afford to get the papers if the current pay system in their countries is poor? I am married to a legal immigrant and I am PROUD of it. There is nothing wrong with showing their Mexican cultural heritage along with celebrating American Cultural heritage. You are a racist and this isn't Mexico number 2....this is the melting pot of the world. We are the most unique country in the entire world and you should be proud of that. I am ashamed to say your an American. This country was founded on Freedom.

Theodore Roosevelt 1907: "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us....this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here....We have room for but one flag, the American flag...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Sure they do.... Why don't they fight for a better life in their own rich nation? Where are they when it's about reforming their own corrupt culture?

Working for a better life does not mean breaking the laws of another country and demanding you be handed a new country on a silver platter --- just because you are too lazy to work for civil rights in your own country.

All Mexicans are doing is packing up and sneaking into the USA -- and THAT is not bettering conditions for anyone except themselves -- so obviously things worsen in Mexico and more head over.

That's become an never-ending vicious cycle. Mexicans wanting a better life need to start making Mexico a better country. That why they would improve the standard of living for their fellow Mexicans --- instead of expecting the American taxpayer to do it all for them.

Are you frickin serious? I cant believe you would say you are proud to be married to an illegal...You are a piece of meat that is being used to get and keep a green card. As far as the papers being damn expensive,$300.00 is not alot of money. It must suck that you had to choose a illegal to marry because no white boy wants ya. Move to Mexico if you think its so great there and the illegals are so mistreated....dont forget your paperwork!

we do have LAWS for a reason, and us people who suffer alot of the Mexican trouble.. Well it shows NO respect for them to disobey the law and now all of Beardstown basically has to learn Spanish to CATOR to these NON speaking mexicans. How is that fair for us?

Well, when I read the title I thought it was about the Mexican Independence Day.
I wanted to say that the Mexican Independence Day is a way Julio Flores and "Amigos Unidos" use to take advantage of people and steal from them.
About "illegals" being in the USA that's a different story. I think you can better yourself with or without inmigrants in this country.If you're not where you want to be it's not because of others but because you are not doing what you should be doing.
Illegal inmigration is an issue in US and in many other countries. The main reason why people leave their countries is the economic issue.
Don't blame others for what you're not doing.

The Mexicans didn't choose Beardstown, your pork plant chose the Mexicans, why?

Your local government protects them from the law, why?

If you want to fix the problem of any laws that have/are being broken, you first need to fix your local government, then your pork plant. The feds will not step in and help until the local athorities take the proper steps.

Otherwise you may want to learn to eat a taco now and again, and teach your fellow Mexican to work like a slug, that's the American way!
