I think it is usually because of 2 things:
1. the majority of undocumented are Latino. Most people see Latinos and assume they are all Mexican.
2. The latino culture is so different than ours, it stands out. So, by having a different language, different sorts of music, and, a different culture, they are most easily recognized.
It is silly, but, I think it is basically based on these 2 things. |

Spazz you know me and you know I respect you so don't take offense ok?
Most talk about Mexico because that's the largest population of illegals here.What most don't understand tho is that OUR government has encouraged it because of our trade deals under the name of NAFTA. Yes you are right Latino's aren't the only ones here.Just here in greater numbers.To begin to understand illegal immigration people need to get to the root of what caused it.Both Pro's and Anti's need to realize this is an issue of national scope.And it's but the tip of the iceberg.We all need to realize we're being used to further a far scarier agenda than illegal immigration.
EDIT: Spazz Outrageous is trying to make the point of how our government turns OTM's loose.Yes that's an actual term by the government.As per my e-mail to you also check into that.He meant no harm he was actually trying to be helpful to your cause. |

they think all illegals are from Mexico , because .just like our great President , they have no idea there is more countries in this planet besides Mexico,Iraq and Afghanistan. maybe they ought to watch, Discovery channel more often. . but I know exactly what you mean , the problem is not with illegals but most likely with Mexicans. anyway. |

It may be over simplification of facts, not ignorance of the basic ones. |

well....nobody will listen anyways....I posted 2 questions on OTM's a week ago...both questions got deleted as they were reported as being racist...which was BS...OTM = other than mexicans...so in fact it was pointing out that the problem wasnt mexican specific....now you all are complaining about Mexicans being singled out...cant have it both ways....unlike alot of people in here, I think the problem encompasses all illegals, not mexicans....so your question is moot to me...good night...
EDIT- perhaps you should really READ what I stated here...this wasnt directed entirely at you...get it? No need to get defensive here as it wasnt an attack... |

It's ok if you "waste 5 points", I'm going to waste my time (as well as many others) repeating to you what's been stated on this site "a thousand times" on here already.
Illegal aliens from 188 countries were deported last year from the U.S. . I don't think there are too many people that honestly believes that that "all illegals are Mexican", or that "all Latinos in the U.S. are illegal"?
I know many people try their darndest to make it a "racial" issue, but the truth is that an "illegal alien" is not a race or ethnicity or any other definable group.
All countries have immigration laws.
All countries enforce them.
All countries have the right to enforce them.
Period.

I really appreciate comments like this, Spazz. I'm proud of you, really. 2 of my answers have been deleted by yahoo, because they say i'm too troublesome. I remember this question: How would you explain your little daughter what illegals are?, some people had so much hate against illegals, sayin things like they were the cause of crime, jobs lost, american identity, and so on. If you want to talk you can mail me. |

The problem is people just believe and type without thinking and analyzing their own answer or question. I even do this when I'm in a hurry to answer/ask. But it is all a learning process and you could go back and look at your answer/question and see your mistakes. Imagine if these answers/question could also be in audio/video you might even learn a lot more. Or think of how your family & friends would think of your answer/question.
I even start thinking all illegals are mexican when the majority according to your sources are from different countires if you add up the other counties and compare them to mexican illegals they would be the minority. And I seen someone say your sources were old. so what just times them by 2 same difference.
Even when minorites think all white people are racist they need to stop and reversre that thought. It would be nice if they invent something that changes your skin color like your hair color or eye color you just add it to a bath lay in it for an hour and your a different color and can now live in another persons skin for real so you can see how people treat you even maybe your own family. |

Not all illegals come from Mexico but when we have 20% of the population from Mexico it does give a sense that a good majority of the illegals are Mexican. When we watched those marches in both May of 2006 and 2007 the majority of flags were Mexican flags. I know that that all Latinos are not illegal, but I do not know how you can change the perception, but as long as you have marches where the majority of marchers are demanding amnesty with Spanish signs and with flags from mostly Latin American counties it's a hard thing to do
PS I live in Miami and here, most think that all Lationos are Cuban, so their is no way to convince anyone of anything different |

What you need to understand is that people are tired of illegal immigration. More than likely it is people that live in areas like California that are singling out Mexicans because there's more of them there than any other country. |

of course not all illegal aliens are from mexico, but a vast majority are.
you are not prompted on the phone to press 2 for Polish or press 2 for German.

Oh, the little princess needs me time again. What a surprise.
Actually I do hear others talk of other countries, and include ALL illegals from all countries they happen to come from. YOU just choose to ignore those answers, and those facts. |

It angers me that a Mexican just has to get pregnant, walk/get transported into US, have child, then start demanding government service handle everything for her, then just have more children, for taxpayers to pay for, meanwhile the rest of the PLANET wait patiently in line. Scream more about rights, money, and services Mexicans are trying to steal on a grand scale. Imagine a huge portion of the Mexican population screaming for all this at once. How do you get here from any other country, illegally. A lot harder than that. Bah, no mi dogies. |

true. there are 12 million illegals from all over, so they say. 8 to 9 million of them come from mexico. it does not matter what race or color skin they have. illegal is illegal no matter what color they are. |

I agree. You would think people in 2007 would have shed stereotyping and moved into a more civilized state, but obviously some remain in the realm of such barbarisms. Illegals come in every shape and color. Many of them speak English fluently and are relatively well educated. |

Which of those other countries are actively exporting their own citizens whom they deem undesirable to the United States besides Mexico? |

Not all of the Mexicans are illegal immigrants. It's MOST of them. Not ALL. See the difference? Don't worry, I'm Mexican too and lived my life here :) |

(click on link below) Look at this one, this person thinks all illegal immigrants speak Spanish . . . I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks they are all Mexican. How ignorant.
"What do you think is next on the long list of items that are already in Spanish, to be easier on the illegals?"

Mexico comes first with about 20 million illegals here in the US. China comes in second with about 400,000 illegals. These numbers arent even close. |

Mexicans make up the biggest piece of the pie (over 50%). They also stand out the most. |
