Sorry to say it, but your comment is one of the dumbest things I've read in HN. You have an objection to the study because immigrants are categorized together?

You have an objection to the study because immigrants are categorized together? Then you choose Mexican immigrants out of a hat and then assume the study is about that specific group. On what basis? Are you saying the sources cited in the group only care a specific subset of immigrants? Or are you alleging that the study must only be about an immigrant group that you have certain preconceptions about?
And that the hell does FoxConn being in Mexico have to do with American immigrant work ethic? You are just not making any sense at all.
Get your ideas and facts straight before posting. Google is your friend for getting facts straight. You cannot have an immigrant study reflect Canadian immigrants because Canadian immigrants make up such a small proportion of all immigrants.
- ck2 15y agoYou don't follow how if people coming here to work is seen as a problem, to help make jobs in their country helps us? I have a problem with anything that says all/most of any kind of people are the same. Immigrants are not one kind of people with one kind of mentality. Neither are natives. Oh and I assumed the study was about Mexican immigrants because if you actually read the website, the study is from the Pew Hispanic Center and specifically talks about about Texas immigration. You're welcome to your opinion but I don't appreciate the personal attack.
- gm 15y ago"People coming here to work is seen as a problem" is precisely what the debate's about. It's not a conclusion. And how can this be a broad generalization if it's already about immigrants? "Immigrants are not one kind of people with one kind of mentality." Hmm ok... But what if your data is not partitioned the way you like? Should they still draw conclusions from dta that does not exist? If you see the actual source PDF document, the sources cited are much more than just Hispanic immigrants. Oh and Hispanic means a bunch of different countries, not just Mexico. So please don't equate "Spanish speaking" with "must be only from Mexico." Only about half of Hispanic immigrants to the USA come from Mexico. It's not a personal attack. I have a problem with how you wrote what you wrote, I've written lots of dumb things myself, including my first reply to you.
