First: “USA” is not “America”.
Second: At least, in Mexico, we don’t have snipers shooting at kids at the schools. We’re not that crazy.
Third: That happened a long time ago. Keep San Francisco and the Manson Family. Keep Las Vegas and the inheritace of Bugsy Malone. Keep Texas and all the red-necks living there. Get over it, gringos.

sorry but I like the ad!
Marketig is Marketing… you just have to look at which market it was focused. And so important is the hispanic market that many companies offer their services in SPANISH for the US like Yalwa
We have to admit it, the Hispanic population contribute to the USA economy!

To all the stupid people that say Mexico is poor and it wold have run the other states to bankruptcy too. Look at USA now! You have now only four days of school a week! All because there’s not enough money for gas! I’m sorry but you can’t go criticizing other countries like that. There are ups and downs and our country is a lot cheaper than yours. While yours has better health benefits.

Ok, ok, problem is a misunderstanding in history. What happened in 1836 (texan revolution) and in 1848 (mexican american war) and 1853 (La mesilla purchase) is not in our hands. we are in 2008 and the current situations is a land shared by mexicans and americans , it is the destiny of those lands, history marks them as a shared land, but with Government belonging to the smartest part.

People’s roots can’t be changed as easily as a funny add…

And…as I had to learn english and work for an english company and I am mexican…I like this “shared land” …

I feel proud of my spanish, but I also enjoy english…

Asi que ponganse a leer historia, sientanse orgullosos si viven en alta california, arizona, nuevo mexico o tejas….que ni los gobiernos pueden cambiar a su gente, las ciudades se llaman como se fundaron originalmente…y la vida sigue….

if you have any doubt please contact me

IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY YOU MUST KNOW WHAT THE MAP MEANS….
MEXICANS WERE THERE BEFORE AMERICANS STOLE THE LAND… MEXICANS ARE NOT ALLIENS THERE.
WE DESERVED THAT LAND, WE WORK FOR IT.
BIEN POR EL ANUNCIO, MUESTRA EL OTRO LADO DE LA MONEDA . VIVA MEXICO, VIVA LATINO AMERICA!

Funny ad. On the other hand many of the comments seem to describe that are offended. Many don’t said why. Others describe the corruption and poverty that occurs in Mexico. I suppose that you should visit the devastated zones that were hit by Katrina to realize how stupid you sound to believe that US has no poverty and has first world service… I guess you have never needed medical care.

Estadounidenses just don’t get it and probably never will. The US government stole 40% of Mexico with the Treaty of Guadalupe signed at the end of the Mexican-American War. Pure and simple.

Just like the war in Iraq and Vietnam, US citizens were fed lies and exaggerations to get the war-juices flowing and the troops moving.

And opposition to the war was broad and strong. Most northern and southern Whigs, including Abraham Lincoln, opposed the war.

Lincoln stated “This war is a nondescript…. We charge the President with usurping the war-making power… with seizing a country… which had been for centuries, and was then in the possession of the Mexicans…. Let us put a check upon this lust of dominion. We had territory enough, Heaven knew.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican-American_War)

And Tejas? Those ‘heroes’ – including those at the Alamo – were doing the bidding of the southern US slavocracy in expanding slavery, which was illegal in Mexico, as it was becoming more unpopular in the US.

Just another sordid chapter in US history. And only ignorant fools would think otherwise.

Love the ad!! My family’s been in California for generations – post revolution. Don’t understand all the fuss, but hey, Estadounidenses think that they own the world, and that it’s always been so. I say screw ‘em if they can’t take a joke. Get a life!!

Que viav la raza. Just kidding. Sort of.

I’m still drinking Absolut.
