Did anyone watch the 2007 Miss Universe Pagent?

Why were they "booing" Miss USA? I felt terrible when she took that fall and then she was booed after wards. It made me kind of angry. Does anyone know why they were being mean to her?

Hello! Hola!

First of all sorry if my english is not very good.

The relation between USA and Mexico is not exactly the best right now.

I'm mexican, i was there, i'm not booed Rachel (Miss USA) and i'm not agree with that nasty reaction, but....

You have to see the other side of the coin, i'm not to waist my answer speaking about the madness of some policies of the american govement, but even if you are agree or not, you need to believe that here are many people (Who are not illegals, who live in Mexico and work in Mexico) very upset about it.

I'll try to explain you what happen:

If you watch the entire event, you can see that the mexican audience were very warm with Rachel at the almost half of the competition.
The spark wich began the fire was the fact that Rachel fell and got into the TOP 5, and Miss Mexico didn't.
Then... Rachel was no more Rachel Smith, she was Miss USA... She represent USA, and not the good side of the United States, then the people got mad and booed.

I was there that night, and believe me not all the mexicans boo her (including me) What happen next? Well if you watch a video of that moment at the end of her answer Rachel said in spanish: Buenas noches Mexico, Muchas Gracias (Good night Mexico thank you very much) The (mexican) people then, remain who is this girl and then they began to applaud her.

I just want to explain in words of some one who really was there, why this infamous incident happen.

I'm disagree totally this action of my compatriots BUT, unfortunly this is a reflection of the bad way of our politics (at the both sides of the border) handle the problem of the immigration.

Rachel is OK now, she understood what happen and why.
She is a great girl, intelligent and sweet
