Why is illegal and Mexican synonymous?

I dont know... for me ALL illegal alien invaders should be immediately deported, regardless of race/nationality or any other "card" you have to pull out and cry on!

The reason the percentage is high is because they are close and uncontrolled.

I don't fear them,but I wish they would keep there as^es in their own country.Even the people of Mexican background that were born here call themselves Mexican Americans,just as Afro Americans.You are either American or not,it doesn't matter where your ancestors came from.Mine were from England I think,what am I????

Because over 98% of the illegal aliens in the United States... most of whom are collecting some form of welfare to compensate for the low wages... are Mexican Nationals. Because the illegal aliens have discovered many, many way to hide in our 'open' society, what the numbers are cannot be determined by a government that shucks and jives, but as nearly as we can tell, the welfare is running at something over 485 BILLION a year.

Any fool who thinks that is acceptable is dumber than a rock. MOST of Washington is dumber than a rock, and Americans are very angry about it. We ARE gonna talk about it too.

Mexican is the LARGEST group of illegals, and they concentrate in areas.
They are not feared. US taxpayers are tired of spending over $300 billion a year to support them and their anchor babies. We are tired of our gov, illegally, giving birthright citizenship to aliens. In 1950s these children were deported along with their parents.
WE are tired of the inferior education our children are getting, while being forced to pay millions of dollars every year to teach their children english.
We are tired of the "extra" crime illegals commit in the US. (rape, murder, robbery, ID theft, fraud, kidnapping)
We are fed up with the bilingual crap. No other nationality is extended this privilege.
We are sick of our property values going down because of the crime and damage they bring into the neighborhoods they inhabit.
It has nothing to do with hate or (race) nationality. It's all about the crime, welfare abuse, poverty, birth rates, education and tax dollars spent (wasted). The drop out rate is almost 50%.

EDIT: it's wonderful how all of you forget anchor babies. With over 5 million in the US at this time that is a lot of illegal families qualifying for welfare. DES does not ask a persons immigration status when they apply. Nor do they verify Soc Sec #s.

Why do you have a chip on your shoulder about it? Mexicans are illegals and the country wants them gone. What is your problem with it

You might do better to ask groups such as LaRaza why they use the term "Hispanic" and "illegal alien" as synonyms (actually, they use the term "undocumented immigrant", although that's far from the truth as illegal aliens generally have identification, just not the real thing). They also refuse to acknowledge that "illegal aliens" are different from legal immigrants, lumping both into the ambiguous term "immigrant". My take: they're trying to pretend that opposition to illegal immigration is racism, and that it doesn't matter if someone breaks our laws to come here and remain here because everyone's an "immigrant". Yes, there are illegal aliens from other countries, probably every country on earth, with lots from Ireland, Poland, China, India, and so on. But you don't see them demanding we speak their languages, provide bilingual education or that they're exempt from our laws because of their "culture". And yes, illegal aliens are human, but that doesn't exempt them from following our laws. All the more reason that they do, in fact, because laws/rules are necessary to the smooth functioning of society (look at Mexico now and see how well not respecting the law works out). As an Arab-American, I am personally offended by the implication that Hispanics have the right to ignore U.S. laws in coming here illegally and committing other crimes in support of their illegal presence here, while U.S. citizens and legal immigrants obey them.

forstay

because there are so many of them and the fact that those whom have gained legal status all help other illegals to come here it is a conspiracy
what part of breaking federal laws is not understood here are you people all stupid

No Amnesty

I think good quality legal mexicans are just fine. But, they are hard to find. Mostly it is illegals that shack up 15 to a one bedroom and have a kid yearly and then mooch off tax payers.

Ya heard me

I can't think of one reason that someone would fear mexicans other then they do commit a lot of crime. Most of them start by coming over here illegally and continue from there. The illegals are making it worse for legal mexicans, which is pretty sad. U.S. tax payers are fed up and since our government hasn't done anything to stop illegals the citizens feel they need to do it.

because it's a stereotype.

It's not for some of us. Just like being of Mexican descent doesn't qualify for American citizens to be called Mexicans.....they are U S citizens of Hispanic heritage. I really hate the hyphenated separation of our citizens.

Made in the USA

GREAT QUESTION! and if you hang around, you'll see the same people on here go off on questions regarding Illegal Mexicans while almost ignoring all others. I've even caught someone on here giving advice to another illegal......that wasn't Mexican of coarse!

Maybe they are just brain washed by all the propaganda today.

Racist Groups Exploit Immigration Issues in Effort to Promote Anti-Hispanic Agenda

With mounting public awareness and concern over illegal immigration in America, the issue is being co-opted and exploited by anti-immigration activists, some of whom are reaching out to racist and anti-Semitic hate groups, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The rhetoric of these activists is largely aimed at Mexicans, not other illegal aliens, and frequently does not distinguish between Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.

What's fueling increase in violence against Latinos?

The poisonous residue of immigrant scapegoating has accumulated in the margins, fueling the rise of hate groups setting their sights on Latinos, regardless of citizenship status.
