They aren't hear to create a nation where the elite will be Mexican and everyone else will be second class.
I am tempted to say that we already have a New Mexico; it's a state. But I know that's not your point. Actually you state two points. That Mexicans don't come here to create an "israel". Well, that point doesn't work, because Mexicans have a country.

Your second point is better. Yes, some Mexicans here legally can become citizens and all the others here legally have most of the rights of Americans.
You're saying Palestinians residing in Israel don't have equal rights as a Mexican living here legally.

I am sorry to hear it. Maybe they should protest by moving to Gaza or Palestine.
