Why do people do this?

It doesn't matter if MOST illegals are mexican. Not ALL illegals are. If we have 12,000,000 illegal immigrants and mexicans make up about 85 percent then we still have almost 2 million illegal immigrants that are from various other countries. It kills me when I read some of the highly intelligent(note the sarcasm) answers from the people on here...Thought it was funny when I read the one that said that they spoke mexican. Funny, I have never heard of a language called Mexican....And El salvadorans and Guatemalans are NOT the same as Mexicans. That's like saying an American is the same as a Canadian or a Britian. Give me a break.

And the issue right now is NOT illegal immigrants from Mexico. It is illegal immigrants period!

Latinos have all been dropped into the group the US citizens are calling Mexicans. You noticed I said US not American. Anyone that lives in the western hemisphere is an American. Some are Canadians, Mexicans, El Salvadorian, Guatemalans, Brazilians, Argentines, ...

drizztbabe

The majority of illegals are from Mexico. It's as plain as the nose on your face. Also, I believe (but I'm not sure) that the USA has a higher quota for admission of legal immigrants from Mexico than any other country.

chataazul

THATHA75

Mexico is on the north american continent, most of the countries you mentioned are central and northern part of south america. They still all need to get a green card or go home...

teamkillstuff270

those are mostly people that speak mexican aren't they

Wounded Duck

Ignorance!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The majority of the ILLEGALS in AMERICA ARE Mexicans, I don't care though, if you came here ILLEGALLY, You should be DEPORTED....I HAVE SEEN SOME PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO HELP THEIR FAMILY....So I guess it is OK to teach your children to break the law..Laws are for everyone to honor, obey & respect....1 speeding ticket is nothing compared to 12 million ILLEGAL immigrants..DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS, say NO to AMNESTY.....DEPORT them ALL for breaking AMERICAN LAW.

Ever hear of the word "stereotype"

They don't call all immigrants Mexicans.

uselessadvice

In Queensland, Australia we call anyone who moves up from down south (ie New South Wales, Victoria) a Mexican.

Why do you only name Spanish speaking counties (except Brazil) when you ask your question? Immigrants also come from almost every country in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

Princezz of the BAY

will i think that they do come from all over but, their mostly Mexicans thou....u can't lie...Guatemalans or El Salvador is Mexicans to me

a immigrant is just that a immigrant. That is not what people call all immigrants

criz

because it's human nature to fault somebody and this time it was mexico hey might as well put fences all around the usa

Off the mark, completely.
The "issue" is about ILLEGAL ALIENS, not immigrants. America is made up of immigrants, ILLEGAL ALIENS are NOT Americans.

FACT: MOST illegal aliens are from MEXICO, around 80-90%.

Oh, but you are right in one regard, the illegal aliens from Mexico have learned that if you are from El Salvador or other Latin American countries you have the right to a hearing, so now the Mexicans are claiming that they come from El Salvador, adding to the screening process required to sort them out. This is in order to get released for this "hearing" which they NEVER attend.

Criminals, every last one of them. Don't ship them back to Mexico, jail them. That will stop the influx.

We are americans, we are very closeminded.

toughguy2

I don't really know why other than the people they see are probably usually Latino and a lot are illegal but everyone knows there are a lot of different people legal and illegal that live here. I have many Columbian friends and I know some have been identified as Mexicans which they do not like.

jc20155

I don't believe people call all immigrants Mexican. Particularly those who immigrate from Europe, Asia and Africa.

Bob: Hey, look at the Mexican in Home Depot.

Stan: Yeah, that Darubu from Ghana.

Being a "mexican" myself, I prefer to call evryone not of mexican descent an OTM.
Plus maybe they'll take my ex back 2 elsalvador with the rest of the cerrotes
