One of the biggest injustice is how people criticize Mexicans. Saying that they have the highest percentage of people in jails and, are always getting in problems with the police. Why dose the media always get the bad side of things and not the good side. We are not really as bad as people make us look. I just think it's sad how people jugged us because of how we look and talk. Being Mexican also comes with restrictions because we are not able to do things other people have the right to do.
Millions of Mexicans that live in the United States classify themselves as immigrants or Mexican Americans. Some Mexicans were already living in the Southern and Western regions of the North America. This was way before the United States existed. Many more Mexicans came to the country during the 20th century, and Mexican and still they keep coming back
One of many situations that is out there is the one were they do not want to give illegal people the right to get their license and getting the green card. Those are two of the things an immigrant wants. I’m not only talking about Mexican there is also Africans, Vietnamese, and any other race. I personally believe that the U.S doesn’t want to give illegal people a license so that when they are pulled over they get more money out of them for driving with out a license. Just imagine all the money they get from illegal immigrants who are driving with out a license. If we were given the freedom that any American has their wouldn’t be so many problems or discrimination.

Dr.Héctor Pérez García is my hero :) You should look him up. He kicked ass as a Mexican-American. He founded the American G.I. Forum and accomplished SO much more for Mexican-Americans
