Imigration: Why only mexico?

zombi86

That is not true.

It's just that most of them cross the Mexican border illegally. If Honduras was the border country, you'd only hear about Honduran illegals.

It only appears that way. Because of the flood of illegals spilling over from Mexico.

For Dr. Illegal & Proud I am of the color you say Americans hate. But I am here LEGALLY!!! So you are mistaken. You are just rude because you want to cut into the front of the line and not wait your turn. I am a proud Hispanic and here legally!

Razor Jim

Because they make up over 90% of the illegals

I just want to say THANK you Blondie, for doing things legally. We have the utmost respect for Legal Immigrants...Now more than ever.

Because there are 12-30 million Mexican Illegals in the USA.
Beat those numbers with any other country, then we'll talk.

Oh, and in case you didn't know...the Mexican government prints out this Helpful Comic Book on HOW-To ILLEGALLY Cross the US Border safely:

We only have land borders with two countries, Canada and Mexico. Since we don't have a huge illegal Canadian problem we are not going to build a fence there. Other Central and South Americans that enter the US illegally are coming in through Mexico.

All other entries are made at an airport. It is easy to ensure everyone entering has permission to do so. While it is not hugely common, people do get turned around at the airport and sent home.

Nonsense! We catch and deport a MUCH higher percentage of OTM's than Mexicans.

OTM is a designation the Border Patrol uses meaning "other than Mexican". OTM's such as Hondurans, Guatemalans, Chinese, Afghans, etc are simply that: of nationalities other than Mexican.

I only WISH we could catch a commensurate percentage of ALL nationalities, or as balanced as possible - 5% German, 5% Chinese, 5% Honduran, 5% Mexican, 5% Korean, etc.

But to do so would mean nabbing a few dozen Germans, a hundred or so Chinese, a couple thousand Honduran, a MILLION Mexicans, a few dozen Koreans, etc.

It's numbers. Stop whining, get things in perspective and realize who REALLY deserves the sympathy here, if any. The Greatest Generation. The people who began with nothing but gave everything so WE would have something. They did that on the promise that what they built would safely rest with their children; not be stolen. It fueled their determination as they toiled, fought, saved, disciplined and moved ever forward.

Had Mexico done the same, Mexicans would have no need to come.

Yes. I know you are right. That's why we need to vote for a good president and not one like Hillary who doesn't like squatty, dark-skinned, flat-nose good, hard-working people. Have you heard that woman talk on immigration? She's terrible and offends many good people.

DUH
it is easier to walk or swim here than to fly

Illegal aliens from 180 countries were deported last year.

Obviously this is not only "Mexicans".

GUARD DOG

Gee.....Maybe perhaps that the immigration population of all countries combined do not total the 30 million Mexicans that have invaded the United States?

But you can just add this misspelled idiotic question to all of the others that Mexicans have submitted to this forum........

Where the US borders are closest to the Mexican border, the influx of illegals from Mexico are the largest group entering illegally, so Mexico is the biggest problem. In Florida, it is a different story. Mostly Cuba and South America.

Isn't that countries you might try working harder at spelling. If illegals are such hard workers why can't they learn english? If illegals are such hard workers why can't they trust in God to provide in Mexico without resorting to lying,stealing of ids,using fake documents.

We are attempting to stop all illegal immigration, whether it is from Mexico, Honduras, Iran, or Saudi Arabia. The thing is that we do not share a border with countries other than Mexico and Canada.

We do not see a huge influx of people form Canada crossing our borders illegally. It is alos harder to get to Canada without having your imigration status in Canada Scrutinized. Thus Canada is not seen as a doorway into the US for those who are trying to get here to do us harm.

Mexico however is seen as an open door, It is a relatively simple matter for someone from another country to enter Mexico and make their way across to attempt to enter the United States.

The Mexican government unlike the Canadian Government is not only not attempting to stop this from happening, they are actively encouraging it with the publication of pamphlets, booklets, videos and DVD's on how and where it is easiest to cross our border.

Thus the need for the Fence. Now if this fence gives the impression that we only want to stop only Mexico so be it. But we want the invasion to stop, from everyone.

If you want to come here legally and legitimately, then welcome home to America, but if you are going to break our laws and scoff at our sovereignty then prepare for the consequences, becuase America is fed up!

That isn't true. They are working harder on other countries (look at the last bill and how there were holes you could drive a truck through for 'contiguous countries' and not many come illegally from Canada.)

Our borders to the north and south are known by everyone but our executive branch of government which wants them bordering Russia to the north and Guatemala to the south.

pumper

Have you ever seen how much a terrorist can blend in with the Mexicans. Ive seen some Mexicans that could almost pass for Iranians. And vice-versa. Mexicans are hard workers cause the lazy ones would be deported. Why deport hard workers. They do the economy good.

Rorschach

For those of you who say U.S. is a racist nation...

Viva la Raza! What's that? Oh, THAT'S not racist, oh no, of course not... it's just being "supportive"... supportive of what? Oh, yeah, that's right... a particular RACE. Duh...

How would Mexicans feel if millions of African-Americans decided to invade Mexico? Or millions of Chinese?

Guys, it's about being invaded. Get over your own race.

Dirty Martini

There are 20 million illegal aliens in the US. Over half of those are from Mexico. 70% are Latino.

There are 190-something countries in the world.

SO a wildly disproportionate number of US illegal aliens are from Mexico, Central and South America.

The numbers speak for themselves.

iTS COMPLiCATED

I agree with you, why is Mexico the only one being targetted?
Lets see who blew up the world trade center? NOT THE ILLEGAL MEXICANS but the pakistanians or wherever they were from who got legal documentation to come to the U.S.
they are giving away citizenships, visas, and permits to these good for nothing people yet the ones that want to come over to make a living, to help their family, to stop living in a shack made out of cardboard boxes.. they dont any chances! why do they come illegally? because nobody gives them the chance to do so LEGALLY. they have to wait YEARS before their file is even looked at. my father came here 1988 and till early this year he finally got his residencency. almost 20 years later just for RESIDENCY! do you think people are going to wait that long to get a new life? they starve to death and its all their governments fault but what can WE do? nothing.. why? because the u.s is a racist country and we all know it

Ana C

Because we are the closest nation and there is more of an influx due to accessibility. However, why don't I ever hear comments about immigration from Canada? Isn't that where the terrorists that brought down the towers came through?
For some reason a lot of caucasian americans are racists against Mexicans. You love our music and vacation on our beaches, even buy homes on the Mexican Riviera. You eat our food and employ our people. You buy our products. We are not the only people here illegally. We are not the only ones that commit crimes. We are not the only ones "taking your jobs" as you say. Yet you hate us, why?

BYANKA_METALERA
