MEXICO CITY - U.S. citizens want to stop illegal migrants from entering their country because they are racist, according to 43 percent of Mexicans interviewed for a poll published Thursday.

An additional 70 percent said they think Mexicans emigrate to the United States because of a lack of jobs in Mexico, and 79 percent said they would be in favor of legalizing millions of undocumented migrants in the United States.

The poll was sponsored by the Mexican newspaper El Universal and The Dallas Morning News. It was conducted through interviews with 1,491 adults April 5-8 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

Also, 76 percent of the poll's respondents said it should not be a crime to remain in the United States without documents, and 89 percent did not think a wall would help stop migration.

Actually I agree with one point in this slanted poll. A wall won't keep all the 'illegal invaders' out. however its a start until we can get 'shoot on sight orders issued' and the border guarded by regular military units.

I fail to see how its racist to want to protect your country from 'illegal invaders'. Even if you apply the racist tag how does that change the fact that 'illegal invaders' are just that 'illegal' and hence have committed crime. And if the stats are anything to go by the 'illegal act' of entering this nation is just the first in a long line of 'other illegal acts' that these invaders commit.

I'll be blunt so there is no room for error. I don't want any 'illegals' in this nation from any where. I don't like them, they're criminals, and they're problems aren't Americas or Americans fault. Let them clean up their own house rather then destroy my house.
