[edit] where to begin?

I would like to improve this article, but the issue is so large and contriversial, I'm not even sure where to start. I think the first step might be to distinguish between self-identified ethnicity and notional(?) nationality status. One is an aspect of an individual's cultural self-identification, the other is fundamentally a legal having no direct correlation to the status of the individual it is applied to. Furthermore, this article distinguishes poorly between people of "mexican" identity living in mexico, people of "mexican" identity or origin living in the USA, people of "mexican" identity BORN in the united states, and the political entity (nation-state) informally referred to as "Mexico", offically the "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" (translated as: United Mexican States). These are all important and separate groups or entities, and must be distinguished between in the context of the article. (quotation marks are used only to denote terms, not as an editorial statement). What is the correct terminology for describing or defining these different groups/entities? I don't want to invent nomenclature, but have absolutely not idea where to start. Before I start criticizing the article, I want to be sure we are all talking about the same things! Thanks. -- Prophet121 01:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow, this article needs a LOT of work. It shows partiality to anti-anti-mexican viewpoints, and doesn't begin to talk about -why- people have these anti-mexican feelings. It doesn't mention the things immigrants do to affect the country, bilingual product packaging, illegal drivers with no insurance, or any of that stuff like that there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 18:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
