Why are Mexicans being targeted by immigration and not arabs?

Its just a political strategy by Republicans to stir up public hate against unpopular groups, to get their hate filled voters to show up at the polls. They are targeting Mexicans and gays now, using hate as a political tool. Its disgusting.

It just appears that way to you. One of my friends has his horse at a stable where there were complaints made about some illegal immigrants there. The border patrol came and ask everyone for ID. He is Cheyenne River, anyway, he was asked by border patrol for ID. So, I think they ask everyone.

Have you ever heard of media bias? All Illegals are being rounded up, it just may not be getting the news coverage you would like to see.

I would like to know that myself, I lost my job because of them. They bought out the family ran gas station, and told us we could not work for them, they did not like white people. I have yet to have a Mexican tell me they don't like me, and one has never took my job. You know how this country is getting to be they would rather have the violent criminals out on the streets than to have a Mexican.

I think we should annex Mexico as the 51st state and call it Cheaplaboristan. They'll obviously never get themselves corruption-free enough to build a decent economy on their own.

I think we should concentrate on all ILLEGAL aliens, not just Mexicans. Anyone who is illegal should be deported automatically. True - the arabs should take precedent on deportation as they are the worst and they also spread their terrible religion of Islam on others which just brings about death and violence. Look and Isreal and Lebanon - more typical show of Islam - whoever says that Islam is not a religion of hate and violence is braindead.

Level 3

no one should be targeted.

there is plenty of room if we use it wisley.
the world population is 6,500,000,000 (6.5 billion)
if we put everyone in the state of texas (268,581 square miles)
we would have 24,201 people per square mile.

that would be less crowded than new york city.
26,720/sq mi new york

BECAUSE OF THE BORDER.........

IndecisiveProcrastinator

Mexicans and hispanics are the main ones drawing media attention. Not ALL of these people are "hard working, family loving people," mixed in with the decent people "looking for a better life" are some murderers, thieves, and drug pushers.

I heard a statistic on one of the talk radio shows the other day (glennbeck.com) and 85%-90% of all outstanding murder warrants in Los Angeles County are for hispanics.

The problem lies in the fact that our borders are open...period! Until the borders (yes, both of our borders) are secure, we will always have a problem. Why are the borders STILL open? One word....government! It isn't one party or the other...it's the government period.

Our own government recently told the Mexican government where our border patrol officers were posted......which means, our government told them the easiest route to take to walk across the border!

There are people who are honestly trying to make a difference. Check out minutemanhq.com these guys are trying their best to HELP the border patrol. They are not 'targeting' the hispanics, they are trying to stop illegal immigration.

This country was created and is/was a great nation by LEGAL immigration.

Ever heard of the "Amero"? Google search the 'amero', it's the form of currency the government has proposed with Mexico and Canada...the intention is to erase our southern border and our northern border for the free passage of money, people, and goods between the US, Mexico, and Canada sometime around 2010. Bush, the Mexican president, and the Canadian president agreed (in March 2003) to start the initial process of creating our equivalent of the European Union.......which will be the North American Union. Don't believe me???? Research it for yourself!!!

I don't think any one group should be targeted by immigration. But I often wonder why so people are so adamant about keeping Mexicans out. They work much harder than a lot of people who are born in the States. Personally, I'd rather get rid of American rapists and murderers and chill out with some Mexicans.

Shouldn't people that actually cause harm to others be on top of our hit list??

More mexicans come to america. Anyway i think we need immigrants.

maccie211

75% of all immigrants are illegal. Most come from Mexico. The Arabs from 9/11 crossed the Canadian boarded without passports because anyone can come in from Canada with out passports.

lojack

Mexicans are targeted b/c the are our border. I think any one should be able to come to America, but with the proper paper work.

LiZ

Not sure. My b/c the white house believes the is no real threat after all. Hint: there is a conspiracy theory out there about 911.
I think no one should complain about mexicans coming accross the border, since that land originally belonged to Mexico and was taken away by the US.

Brandy

It's all Illegal immigrants it seems like Mexicans are being targeted because they're the biggest group.

CRYSTAL S

so what your saying is we should target the Arabs??....well if someone is coming here illegally be it from Mexico or any where else they should be deported it is the law...should we just ignore it?? ...if some one murders someone should we just let it slide because they are hard working and they love their family no we cant because the bottom line is ..it is against the law & so is people coming here illegaly from mexico...we can not alter the law to suit certain people ...the law is there for a reason !!...and i really cant even figure out why you are bringing arabs in to it ...the world trade center attack was a horrible thing but u cant say all arabs are bad because of it ...and they have nothing to do with mexicans being targeted by immigration...plus how many illegal immigrants are there right now living in the u.s ?? not paying taxes like what we have to do ?? do you think its fair that you and i have to pay taxes but they can come over here and not pay taxes..they can just keep all of it and send most back to mexico ??...i dont have a problem with people coming to live here & trying to better their lives but i do think they should do it the legal way ....and i think they should all have to speak in english as this is the United States and English is our launguage!!!

The Ownerator

well, the simple answer is that Mexico is a lot closer than Arab nations. there are also a lot more illegal Mexicans living in the us than illegal Arabs, or any other nationality that is. The immigration reforms originally were to prevent terrorists from entering the united states, but the illegal population would also be affected by the change, so they now claim that it is all about the hatred of Mexicans, which it isn't supposed to be. Either way although the Arab religions are actually centered around destruction, as opposed to the majority of Mexicans being catholic (a peaceful religion), Mexican are just as capable of being terrorists as Arabs, or Canadians. But the main point is Mexico is closer, and the biased news has blown the issue seriously out of proportion,

Aaronkun

Mexico borders the US. The Arab countries don't. Who we really should be worried about are those sneaky Canadians. LOL

J.J.

While yes mexicans are being targeted, it's also not fair to target arabs. No one should be. If this a free country, or the homeland, than shouldn't all be free to live in their home?

Sandylynn

Anyone coming into this country illegally is wrong for being here, whether they are a Mexican, Arabian or any other nationality. Since Mexico IS on our southern border, and Mexicans ARE the ones coming here illegally from there, they are the one's who are mostly being dealt with. Just because we don't hear about the others who are being dealt with don't mean that it's not happening. Our news people only report on things that make their ratings go up. If you do your own checking, you'll find that many illegals are found every day and dealt with in the same manner. We don't hear about it because it's not as important to the news people as all the other stuff that's happening. It would be actually impossible to report on all the news that's happening every day in this country, let alone the world. Do your own research and you'll find out all you need to know about what's actually happening. <*)))><

da_hammerhead

One problem at a time.

pshdsa

That's the million dollar question. Our government has encouraged undocumented Hispanic workers to work in our country for decades. So why in the world is this all of a sudden such a huge issue when it has been happening for a long time?

Salmagundi

because mexicans are illegal,arabs are not.sorry.

peakcox

honey open your ears, this has effected everyone, not just mexicans

No one

Mexico is being "targeted" because they are on our border and well over 10 million are here in this country illegally. They drain our resources including welfare, schools and medical services. Further, many of then are criminals and are not the the hard-working, family loving people you refer to. It is time we closed our borders to ALL illegal immigrants and force them to follow the law and enter this country legally.

As for Arabs, there is no Arab nation on our borders. The tightening of security at our airports and other transportation centers is a direct result of 9/11, and the new heightened security is "targeting" anyone, including Arabs, from entering our country illegally and/or as terrorists.

You are misguided to think that ONLY Mexicans are being "targeted."

Chow!!

Mr SmoothHead

it's called discrimination.

mystina777

Why target one particular group instead of all illegal immigrants? After all, being Mexican, Iranian or hell, a Canadian and being in the country without proper documentation doesn't make it any more or less illegal.

Zeus

1) Were are talking about Ilegal immigrants from Latin america. We have no problem with latino immigrants only legal ones.
2) How do we turn away from these murderers? We are in Afghanistan right now.

fl0wergir1_usa

Just like those ignorant people who can't seem to understand what "illegal" means. Illegal immigrants should not be in the U.S. Quit thinking the Americans are being racist, will ya??

lily

it's the President's logic. Hence why he never should have stolen either election.

Can we actually have an election where our votes count, and not the electoral college votes or publicly witnessing money talking louder than anything else?

blueman2

good question....but i believe it's because the Hispanic population has grown the most in the recent years...more to go after...

sagidt sanchez mr.klown rascal gang atlanta g.a
