How come the only Illegal immigration comes from Mexico, but not from any other country's?

Rebeca O

Are you kidding me? How ignorant.

Not true. Illegals come from every country available. Cuba and Haiti are just two. Then there are others who come here on visa from other countries who do not comply once their visa runs out. Not every illegal is from Mexico.

Mr. Morden

Where did you get the idea that all illegal aliens are from Mexico? About 60 percent of illegals sneak across the Mexican border and not even all of them are Mexican. Many are Central American who came to the US via Mexico. The rest, the other 40%, entered the country legally but some where along the line they fell out of legal status. They either over stayed a tourist visa, overstayed a student visa, failed to leave when a sponsored visa expired, or for a number of other reasons.

The majority of illegal immigrants come from Mexico, because they have easier access to cross the border.

-They can hide in boxes to avoid detection or under boxes of fruit as a camoflage. The driver can be a legal immigrant taking relatives (undetected) on the other side of the border.

-They can hide under panel boards of SUV's (Sport Utility Vehicles). The driver, usually a legal U.S. citizen or immigrant, can be paid a huge sum of money by illegal immigrants. Money carries a lot of weight in this one.

-Other immigrants, such as Asians, Europeans, Iraquians, Al Quadans and other nationalities, can come to the U.S. with a Passport, but most come undetected through Mexico or the Canadian seaboard. People find ways to come to the U.S. undetected. Even through freight boats.

-Relatives that live in the U.S. can help their illegal immigrant relatives deliver their babies. They can claim their relative's babies as their own (undetected) and raise them as U.S. citizens. These children receive Social Security Cards and the whole nine yards as U.S. citizens, which develop into over population in the U.S. Then these children have babies and there you have it, it builds. These children can have Passports to visit their relatives and stay in the country for years, but still be claimed as U.S. citizens.

I am not only pointing this to illegal immigration from Mexico, but from other countries as well. Many people believe that the world is owned by man and that land should not be claimed. Humanity is building up like crazy and the world is in chaos.

Hope that answers your question.

Not even all illegal immigrants come from Mexico, there are countries in central and soulth america. Some illegal asians even come through the Mexican borders. But the greater number of illegal immigrants no one seem to notice are the EASTER EUROPEANS. Not so noticeable because they are most whites.

illegal immigration comes from any country,including asians, europeans, africans, mexicans etc. There are illegal immigration in every country if you travel you will see all this melting pot. Only US become strict to the illegal immigrants because of the terrorist. There is no illegal immigration if there is no illegal authorities. So blame those who are here in the US babysitting and profiting to this illegals.

Pro-America, Anti-Illegal

Illegals immigration does not just come from Mexico. Most of the illegal immigrants are from Mexico but all illegal immigrants aren't Mexican. They aren't even all Hispanic. Illegal immigrants come from everywhere. We just get a lot from Mexico because its close.

Dizney

Illegal alien criminals come from all over the world. MOST come from Mexico because they are the closest.

I don't care where they come from - if they are ILLEGAL, GO HOME!!!!! We don't want of need you. Illegal alien criminals are destroying America.

Think Dodger Blue

there are many that come from asia

did you think all asians come here legally?

kitycat

cause they simply can walk few miles to get in it s as easy as that,,,, good luck

ØÙ„Ø§ÙŽÙ…Ø¨Ø±Ø§ hallambra

lol...you are funny...
Illegal people go there from all over the world.
What happens is that the mexican border is huge, but people from other countries are illegal too..they enter with authorized visas but when visas expire, they stay inside the USA.
So.you were right, many of the other ones enter legally but become illegal after being there.

WonderWoman

r u kidding me?No people immigrate here from all places. this is such a dumb ignorant question seriously reserach and then put an intellegent question.Gosh.

horsenbuggy

No. There are plenty of illegal immigrants from other countries. It's just that it is easier to get in from Mexico since you can basically walk in. Also, it is usually more difficult to distinguish illegal Canadians from Americans.

Lance

That's not true. Illegal immigrants come from many different countries. Mexico seems to provide the largest number, probably due to their close proximity and being joined by land for the most part (there are no oceans to cross). The poor economy and bleak future Mexicans face in their own country is the main driving force that motivates them to break our laws and cost us taxpayers billions of dollars every year. Canada, our only other overland neighbor, unlike Mexico, is a proud nation with a secure economy which sustains it's citizens and makes their successful futures a possibility

Johnny Conservative

Are you trying to say you have never heard of illegals coming over from Cuba?? Read a newspaper dude.

JUSTME

The majority of them are coming in illegally from Mexico.

Illegal immigrants come to America from all over the world - there is just a more concentrated population of Mexicans because we share a border. It's much easier for them to walk across an imaginary border than it is for someone to be smuggled across an ocean.

joevette

That is just simply a wrong assumption. There are many illegal immigrants from other countries. Some of The people who were the hijackers on 9/11 were here illegally (over stayied visa). There are lots of people from South America. Just recently a couple from China won a give away (toys are us if memory serves correctly) but they were here illegally so it was on all of the news channels. Mexico is where the majority of our illegal immigrants come from but they are not the only place.

homeboygenius

no, illegal immigrants come from everywhere. the majority are from mexico because we share a border with them and their living conditions are very poor.

yes_its_me

Illegal immigrants come from almost every country in the world to the US. However more come from Mexico and Central American countries because of their proximity to us. No boat or airline trip is required. Hop a bus and walk a few miles and you are here. The Asian immigrants are increasing pretty quickly and they are also using Mexico as a staging point to get into the US. There are plenty of Canadians that just drove down and stayed too. Economics is driving most. The American dream is the world dream. I work for the Government with Mexicans, Russians, Africans, Asians, and Canadians. I am assuming that they are legal since we had to have background checks to get employment, but who really knows?

There are others but you just don't hear about it as much. Mexico being an attached border and a poor country makes it easier to cross illegally so there are more people doing it.

XperTeez

No, most people cannot differentiate between a Mexican and a person from any other Latin-America country. Many people from South- America make their entry into the US through Mexico and since there are so many similarities between them, and the numbers are relatively small, the common person identifies them and categorizes them into one large group=Mexicans.
In addition, there are also illegals from other parts of the world, but in smaller numbers, so nobody makes a big deal about them.

colera667

yes, there are just as many if not more coming from other countries (asia being the worst) all the time.

jackichanrules13

Probably alot of them do, but not all of them We just notice Mexico more because they are attached to the USA and so they can come in easier so more come in. But personally I think most others are legal cause it would be harder to get in otherwise. But with Mexico they can sneak in pretty easy

DASHLOC4ever

There are actually a lot of illegal Irishmen near the place I used ot live in LA

Andie

No the only two countries that enter the United States illegally are Mexico and Cuba. The rest of the countries can't get into the U.S without an airplane.

Hockeyguru

There is illegal immigrants that come from all over the world, Mexico is just a particular problem because their culture is so much different from ours and our countries border each other making it much easier to get across the border than if you were flying in from another country. I'm sure there is a higher percentage of immigrants that enter legally, but the news tends to focus on the bad things and never the good ones. Hope that helps with your question.

Brian

Ok maybe this will help you understand.

Try to illegally enter the country from Europe, Asia, or Africa. Tell me how that works out for you lol

Nicnac
