A Mexican Point of View

Many Americans don't realize how difficult it is to be a Mexican. Belong to a developing country where a person earns less in one day of work than a regular American does in only one hour. It hurts to see how your people is discriminated around the world having the wrong idea of the Mexicans. It is not fair to see how they call every Mexican that lives in the U.S. an illegal immigrant or a criminal. But let me tell you that if doing whatever it takes to help your family is a crime, then all the Mexicans are criminals.

Living in a world where globalization is what rules the world makes frontiers between countries seem to disappear. However it is amazing to see how in places like Europe you can travel freely around the countries while here in Mexico for many people is impossible to travel to the USA. It is incredible that illegal immigrants are the ones who make America's economy be the best one in the world and now they are being chased like animals or worse.

I dream a world where you are not discriminated by your colour or the country you come from. A world where people receive you in their country as a brother coming back home. Maybe it is time to make that dream come true and time to demonstrate that Mexicans are honest people that work hard to achieve what they want. Americans must stop seeing immigrants as criminals and start treating them as equals. The next time you see a Mexican in your beloved country, instead of insulting him, invite him a cup of coffe and you will see how charming Mexicans can be!
