__NO__.

"Mexicans" are citizens or nationals of Mexico. 

Citizens of the United States of America are "Americans".

Try reading the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo sometime.

Get off it. That bit of doggerel doesn't talk about US citizens who are
"hispanic", it doesn't talk about Legal Immigrants, it speaks of the ongoing
and institutionalized abuses of the US by ILLEGAL ALIENS.

You're an American citizen of Mexican-ancestry? Fine! We're all Americans.

However, remember, a Mexican is a citizen of Mexico, unless they are here by
permission, they're here without permissions. 

Legal Immigrants are welcome, they're invited. 

ILLEGAL ALIENS have invaded in numbers of no less than 8 millions over the
last decade. 

ILLEGAL ALIENS' costs are well-documented. See

What can you do about it? Not much. Some things can work in some places,
though. See http://www.ranchrescue.com/
