yeah that's what i always wondered too.and yes i do know most of them come from mexico but as a few have said on here a lot of people from other latin countries use mexico as a way to enter into the U.S. I mean if a lot of them were crossing through canada would all the anti's on here be saying illegal canadians go back home?so unless there are statistics that show what nationality half of the illegals crossing are actually mexican natives i'll just sum all the talk to people assuming. |

Americans don't think that. But if you do the math, most of our illegals are from Mexico. Not all, but the vast majority. |

~Im an American, and I dont think that all illegals are Mexican. I do think that the majority of them are though. And when I say majority, I am guessing the numbers are really high.~ |

I can't speak for "most " just me..................
The Mexican border is the easiest to cross illegally ------
As the media has made this issue all about race - it is not shocking that people believe a huge number of persons entering are Mexican.
It is hammered into us daily whenever the border issue is raised.
Every illegal no matter where they are from -needs to go home and enter legally.
It is a slap in the face to all those people that fill out all the forms and wait for a visa - to just ignore the illegals.
My friend waited 5 years to get into this country - and he did it legally . And is damn proud to be here. |

How would you know what most Americans think? We are aware that they are the majority, but I've never heard anybody say they are the only ones. |

Most Americans? I do believe that most Americans are tired of all illegal aliens and has been stated many times, Hispanics are the majority. Illegal is illegal! |

Have you ever noticed that most pro illegals can't count?
This question has been asked and answered many times over.
*194 counties in the world.
*20 million illegals in the US.
54% (more than half) are from one country, and one country alone--Mexico.
*70% are Latino.
The numbers are what they are. Quit whining about it and ignoring it. And quit blaming us for KNOWING what they are. |

Most of it is directed at Mexicans , but I have never heard anyone say get rid of the "Mexican illegals" , I do hear get rid of "illegal immigrants".....I guess it is mainly directed at the Mexicans because they are the majority of illegals.....
Just as anything else , it is judged based on the majority of the people involved with the subject of discussion , just like when you hear
" The South ", you picture white guys with mullets driving pick ups ,
" Prison" you picture black guys ..and Latinos
"Hate Crimes" white guy in cuffs , black victim ...
"illegals " Mexicans ,
"home depot" pick ups , with a white guy driving , and 4 Mexicans in the back ...
the color or nationality odes not apply every time , but it is the visualization one perceives when the subject is mentioned ...Normally called "stereotyping " ....... |

I live in Southern California and trust me...Illegal ITALIAN immigrants are not our big problem here. Just drive past a welfare office and look at who's in line. It's not harsh judgment, it's a fact. Just so you know, Mexicans are not their own race. It's only a country. |

Being Mexican is not a race, Mexicans is a nationality. Just like being American is not a race it's a nationality. There's a difference. |

if you make a pareto chart of the illegal races, they are the first (i.e. largest) category. it's advanced brain surgery or rocket science, right? |

You have to loook at the facts 1st. Majority of Americans know that Mexican are not the only illegals coming here. But the illegal mexicans here in the USA outnumber any other race simply because our countries border each other, unlike china or cuba for example.
Who have to make horrible trips to come here from countries in far worse conditions than mexico. Not that im excusing it, but that it the truth.
Mexican illegals outnumber the rest. |

Facts are just facts!!! We are not stupid!! Mexicans are simply the largest group of illegal immigrants in the USA. Just because you insert the word “most” into your question, doesn’t camouflage what you are implying!
Look, I have nothing against Mexico or Mexicans... I even understand why they are coming here and understand why so many are willing to risk their lives to come here the way they do.
I am your average mid-western American white guy, born and raised. I am also a legal resident of Mexico. It took me nearly four years to be granted temporary residency in Mexico. I own land there, love the culture, and the friends that I have made during my time there. I will always be a proud American!!! However, I also consider my ranch in Mexico my home! With that said, Had I just went to Mexico (a country with some of the most strict immigration laws) without going through the proper channels, I would have been arrested and jailed for a possibility of 16 yrs before they even considered deporting me!
My question is why do most Americans accept the fact that our government is allowing our immigration problem to happen? Why are most Americans comfortable with liars and criminals as elected officials? Why are most Americans willing to complain so much about an issue, yet they do nothing to hold their elected officials responsible for their actions and lack of actions? |

because Mexicans are like freaking locusts and are taking over America. They are effecting society and the american culture in a negative way and are actually overpopulating cities.They do not even respect our laws. I see 10 of them in a 4 passenger car, and 20 of them in a 2 bedroom apt. They will work for peanuts so they affect american workers and they take from our government programs and are taxing the system... and they are so predominate in the city I live in which used to only be blacks and whites... they have taken over the whole entire 10 blocks of main street with stores that cater to them.

The Americans that think that Mexicans are the only illegals in the U.S. are uneducated and ignorant because thy don't understand there own culture. An illegal can be from Central America, Asia , Europe and any black race from Africa |

Because most of the other people that come here at least try to speak our language. They don't so the stick out more. |

not sure that most think that, but it is commonly put that way in speech and thought and text - i believe on that much you are correct. what happened to all the other races? well, nothing, they are just crossing the borders without the paper work in fewer numbers. for every1 out there: ever hear of the great melting pot or open gates/doors? thats how america was created as, if you didnt know. for the ignorant bigots: #^%$*&^@$*#%@$&^%#&^$^&*$*&@%##&^$*&#%$%
*edit* why do ppl care if theyre illegal? gov cares ( i bet) cause they lose $ by not getting certain $$ from illegals they get from legals. random citizens care because...?? dont give me that crap that they take your jobs, cause i dont see you applying for pickin apples or somethin commonly done my mexicanos. lastly, dont give me that crap about illegal mexicans linin up outside the welfare office, if they were illegal chances are they wouldnt neither be there nor be able to get benefits, you ignorant, vacuous &#$^#&*%^@# |

it is not just mexicans,how ever we don't have others marching in our streets demanding crap,that doesn't belong to them.that's why you don't here much about the others. |

The answer is 42.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center study "Background Briefing Prepared for Task Force on Immigration and America's Future", the breakdown is as follows:
Mexico 57%
Other Latin American Countries 24%
Asia 9%
Europe and Canada 6%
Africa and all others 4%
This of course does not excuse people from making "illegal immigrant" synonymous with "Mexicans" but the tabloid news likes to pound it into peoples heads so everyone turns into a classic case of the Pavlov's dog experiment on this subject...

good question. i believe it largely is due to vast ignorance that seems to run amuck in humans and even worse in our society. 2 words 4 all u out there: human race. |
