Why are only Hispanics targeted as illegals?

Geno

Your question reflects your lack of knowledge of REAL current events regarding illegal aliens, unless you are trying to spread racist rhetoric. .
If 95% of all illegals are Hispanics, it only stands to reason that 95% of those deported are guess what....Hispanic.
Do you honestly believe that ONLY Hispanics are deported?? If you do, you need to check readily available statistics.
Last year, illegal aliens from OVER 100 COUNTRIES WERE DEPORTED.

They aren't entirely targeted. But it just so happens that they are more than others because of the numbers. Which I'm sorry to say, their numbers far outweigh that of other races.

Might want to study some current events.

They are the ones mostly in the news. As a Law Enforcement Officer there is a smaller group of illegal aliens also such as Russian and smaller groups on Europeans.
The Dominicans, and Central Americans are included in that group as are Brazilians etc..
We are so close to Mexico with a large border area it only stands to reason that more of them enter illegally.

They aren't. Recently there were quite a few Polish illegals arrested. The truth though is that the majority of Illegals are Hispanic. That fact cannot be denied or overlooked.

Didn't they create the reality they wanted ? They marched across America using a Mexican flag to try to get their point across. They are the only ones shown in the media burning American flags. They are the only ones flying the Mexican flag while flying the American flag upside down at Federal buildings,local schools. They put themselves in the spot light.

According to the Pew Hispanic center studies about 55-60% of all illegals are Mexican and about another 20% or so are Hispanic from other countries.

thats75-80% of all illegals being hispanic.

Who would you point out if you were talkin about illegal problems

I live in Arizona, if all of the illegals here were rounded up and put in one place, it would be the second largest city in the state. We have armed clashes between the Border Patrol and armed Mexican Drug Smuggles daily. I kind of wish some of those troops on the Iraqi border were here.

So which other group am I to be concerned with.

myeshacbj

cuz their the majority when it comes to illegal immigration and the mexican border is directly located below us.

They're not the "only" illegals, but they are the majority. Just today, I had someone turn in a company that hired a bunch (I think it was 10 or 12...... busy day) of suspected illegal Nigerians. I also got word, and waiting on confirmation, about a group of suspected illegal Irish working with fake documents. And, as usual, a few landscapers picking people up from a known illegal site, that group of what looks like 8, are Hispanic......

In all 3 cases, I'll do what I always do, confirm the information as best I can, and turn all the information passed my way to ICE.

For the record, and I try and make people understand whenever I can...... Minutemen are not law enforcement, we do work closely with several law enforcement agencies, but only in that we act as the eyes and ears for an already overwhelmed Border Patrol, ICE, and a few other departments.

Cuz we multiply like rabbitos.

MH/Citizens Protecting Rights!

They aren't. It just seems like it because they outnumber all other illegals and they are more "in our faces". Yes, they do multiply like rabbits and they should be penalized for that too.
It is against the law to enter the country, live in the country and to hire, harbor and help illegal immigrants, regardless of what country they come from. The law is the law and as the mayor of a California town said. The victims of their crimes deserve to have our laws enforced and the legal immigrants deserve to have their laws enforced. Law-breakers don't deserve preferential treatment and the Hispanics are the most vocal in their demands for preferential treatment. LULAC, LaRAZA, MALDEF, ICIRR, the Catholic Church. All these organizations should be tried for war crimes and harboring fugitives and aiding and abetting fugitives. And there are many more who fit this bill as well.

They aren't, however, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, 75% of the illegals here are from Latin America. So by far the most are Hispanic.

tyson

because they are the ones flooding in and having 10 anchor babies a piece. and the ones who leach all of our social services like health care and schools. they don't assimilate. instead they demonstrate in the streets under a foreign flag about "rights" they somehow believe they should have in a country where they don't belong. they turn neighborhoods into slums. they drive down wages because even the $5 a day they get beats what they were getting selling chicla back in mexico. still, mainly it's the sheer numbers. if there were only 100,000 of them over the past 20 years, it wouldn't be so alarming.

r_boiz

Do you really need to ask such a stupid question? Granted there are other illegals but people are floating over here from China by the millions. Nearly 100% of all illegal "immigration" comes through Mexico and most them are hispanic.

ShadowCat

Trust me, they are not! Only some Catholic bishops are saying that they are...Check out Numbersusa.com and alipac.com

NeoCon-Flavored Kool Aid!

3million every year thats like5x more than all other nationalities combined!

bopoppa

I would say its from the extensive news coverage, and just the extremely large numbers of migrants from our southern border. However, I see what you are saying. Nothing is ever said about the burgeoning number of Chinese that come over as either stowaways or absconders on ships. I deal with this quite a bit in the northwest. Russians are another group of illegals that come over with little mention.

Ola

They are not the only ones targetted as illegals, other races and nationals are also deported as illegal aliens. but the number of hispanics far outweighs others, so it looks like only hispanics are targetted, I know lots of africans are deported also.

pokerfaces55

this question needs no answer.. simple math.. they outnumber
everyone else here without papers 30 to 1 at least.. thats a guess,,
but that reminds me of a story..
russan comes to this country and tries to find an american to thank for being here..
ask this people are u american.. says no im mexican
ask another... says no again.. im irish
ask 4 others.. they all say no.. somewhere else
ask this one where are all the americans..
and was rewarded with its only 3;30 they are all at work

Crazybird

Hispanics aren't targeted........it's a matter of simple common sense when the vast majority are. Besides the facts they commit more crimes than other illegals. When you're the majority with the biggest problem children......it just "seems" they're getting targeted. Trust me......they ignore more than they target.

pal_013168

Maybe because they are the ones burning the American flag and standing inline for all the freebies with their anchor babies? Taking a day of in May to protest hard working American tax payers and threatening to take over this country,While we Americans pay for all their bills.Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you if you ask me,so yea,Americans are sick of the illegal mexicans,even the legal mexicans are offended and insulted.And Americans will get sick of it then heaven save them,because when the elections are over in 2008,and politicians dont need their votes anymore they will be treated like the slaves that they are,Americans diddnt found this nation on law breakers,or freeloaders.And Americans will not surrender to people that cant even stand up to their own government and demand we give up ours.Our kids are not fighting a war in Iraq to come home to no sovierienity,Americans still have the right to bare arms for this reason we will not give up what our families have fought for FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

rocio

because a lot of illegals come from mexico, and therefore hispanics pay the consequences.

lonewolf1

Keep one very important thing in mind, as per Immigration, there are only two catagories for detained illegals,,
1 - Mexican
2 - OTM (Other Than Mexican),
So what does that tell you>??????

Mosype

It is much easier to point out a Hispanic immigrant then it is to point out a German or any other race.

lremmell64

Well most illegal immigration is from south america, which happens to be populated by hispanics/latinos.

But they are not the only ones on Customs & Border Protection Radar for illegal entry, so are the Chinese, Korean's, Philipino's etc.

nuff

because youre a paranoid wench. you need to open your eyes and pay attention. many other nationalities are indeed targeted. the main difference is that most of them are smart enough to wave AMERICAN flags, not that italian flag with a shitstain on it.

Starshine

They aren't, they just seem to be the group yelling the loudest to defend the illegals.

Lou Dobbs

They are on my show every night Lou Dobbs

They're not. What makes you think that? They just had a white family on TV last night. They're from the Ukraine. Speak perfect English. Couldn't tell them from any other white American. Someone made a goof in their paperwork, or something wasn't renewed many years ago or something. They were just rounded up like criminals. Clearly this is an extreme. You probably hear more about "Hispanics" because they are the majority of the illegal population. More of them means more news stories about them. In addition, SOME of them have political, linguistical and racial motivations for coming here and not just to make a better life. They can come here easier than people from other countries and races.
