American Indian, asian, Black-african american, Native Hawaiian-pacific Islander, and White. How mixed are you? Not nationality. I didn't come on here to start an argument, I am very proud of my Mexican heritage, but I am only one of these races.

Mixed race. Because that´s what we are. Check Wiki.

so when you are asked what race you are what do you say?

This goverment, i believe, is trying to do something. The opposition (a part of which is fond of Chavez-Castro bullshit)won´t let it do nothing. They won´t let this government take credit for doing something here. And what about international interests? How many contries would be affected if we change our energetic policy? Many, cause they wouldnt be able to process our oil and would lose those jobs

I agree on the fact of letting them going to the us leaglly. The only problem (and i hope you can see that) is that most of these people live far away froma city, don´t have cars or a decent transport, they will never be able to get a visa or something.

There will be NO American Union, Canada and the US have a similar economical and cultural level, Mexico doesn´t. It would be too "utopic" to create it. The reason why the European Union was created was because of the similarities betwen European countries. It wouldn´t work in our case.

No. I am mexican and we are not white. During the Spanish occupation, some of them force to marriage indian women (or rape them in most cases) so we are in 95% of the cases, a mix race.

wow, so you know what mexicans think? I am sure most of them think that a large percentage of the crappy paycheck has to go back to their family in Mexico. That not only their wife and children but also their parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters. Do you, who have probably been given everything help your parents like that? They take just enough money to pay their bills and food till next paycheck. Pay everything in cash-if they don't have the money they save up, don't use credit cards
