Why is it that people pro or against illegal immigrations seem to be only focusing on Mexican illegals?

True but I think people are focusing on the Mexican illegals because they are more of a majority. I work in construction. We have whites working for us, a few blacks and a whole lot of mexicans.

Not to mention the fact that when the immigration issues came up this past year who made the most noise? Mexicans. Their country is right below us so the influx of Mexicans will be greater than other countries because it's easier for them to get into the US than it is for other illegal immigrants.

That would be my opinion at any rate.

good question...i guess cuz there are more from mexico due to the shorter distance

"to fairly judge a country, count the ppl sneaking in vs. the ppl sneaking out!!!"

The rules for immigrants vary greatly from country to country. At this time, I understand that the Mexican immigrants have a harder time getting the correct paperwork but in most places there is just a river or fence stopping them from coming over. Due to a lack of a decent wage in Mexico, many of them opt to come over illegally to support their families.
Personally, I fault both governments for the problem.

The reality is that it is easier for Mexicans to enter the US illegally than other people, like Chinese. The Mexicans can just cross the border.

Yeah,but most of hte illegal immigrants come from Mexico

You didn't see those people marching it was just Mexicans waving their flags and demanding rights they have no right to.

Because the vast majority are from Mexico and Central America, and because we border mexico it is easier for illegals to cross.

And I'm sorry when people say it's because of racism, they obviously never paid attention in History class, Americans complained when the huge wave of Irish came over, before that it was the German's, Austro-Hungarians, and Eastern Europeans. People flooded into Ellis Island and were discriminated against from the get go, and badly, they lived a whole lot worse than the illegals do now.

i am against all illegals immagrants coming here to the usa

Well there are roughly 12 million illegal aliens in the US, and they directly border us. The main reason is they are the biggest percentageof people, and the borders could be used by terrorists to infiltrate our country.

da dude person

Of course, that IS the case, but the vast majority comes fro Canada or Mexico, because they dont need to hitch a ride on a boat or plane, thusly making it easier. It's also true that the News actually makes people think that. Have you ever seen media coverage on some polish ileegal immigrants???
Exactly :)

Mostly because it is primarily the Mexican illegals making all the demands for financial assistance they are not entitled to.

I know...it's all those damn Madagascarians...the Mexican impact is next to nothing on the US economy compared to the ******* from Madagascar....

Support the US Border Patrol!

Because as politically incorrect as it is, Mexicans import more drugs than people from any other country. Colombians do this as well. Folks from, say, England don't come here with marijuana and black-tar heroin and have their uncles running super meth labs near the border to sell to young teenagers ... people don't care as much. I don't even care when Mexicans come here as long as they aren't taking away any jobs from Americans, bringing any drugs, or getting involved in any crime.
EDIT
And before you scream racism and give me thumbs down, I can't be racist; I AM Latin American. I still think when people come here and bring drugs it's a bad thing. How crazy!

Move to a place like TEXAS and you'll have your answer.

The big border. The biggest concern is that it's not just letting in Mexicans: it's letting in illegal immigrants from all over the place. Besides that, it's a numbers thing. the number of Mexican illegal immigrants easily outweigh the number of all other illegal immigrants.

Because all the racist gringos here obviously hate Mexicans. It's funny because you can tell most of them are trailer trash who are upset that they are too stupid to figure out how to milk the system. They hate the fact that a race of people they consider to be inferior to them have figured out how to rip off a system set up by their own government.

bgood26

Because a vast majority come in from Mexico.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't. I am wondering if maybe it seems that way since it is the border with the US/Mexico that is being talked about most. And there are many reasons for that. Think about the illegal drugs that are being smuggled over that border. I also wonder how carefully Mexico is in monitoring people entering their country from mid eastern countries (or any country that harbors terrorists) With all of the traffic across the Mexican border, how many people intent on harming Americans are crossing?

newbiegranny

Because Mexico is on our southern border, and Mexicans are very unhappy with conditions there, we have a large number of illegal immigrants from there. It is not that we have no other issues, but it is a larger group coming across the border, and thus a more pressing issue.

If I have a broken leg and a splinter in my finger, my biggest concern is the broken leg.

It's just the latest thing to complain about. Once you get something that sounds legit in the news several times, and your president is talking about it, and your country is going to build a wall between your country and one of your neighbours, then...

Half of these people complaining about this couldn't've cared less a few years ago.

Numbers and the language barrier.

gothielocks13

Because they are the main people coming and most of them dont bother to learn english and that upsets so many people here.

the truth

I haven't seen any eastern European or Chinese illegal immigrants marching in the streets demanding things.

El Guapo

Not sure, probably due to a hatred that runs deeper for Mexicans than any other nationality.

[TxHxG] Zero

first of all, because they are coming in HUGE noticable masses, and second of all, I'm danny g too.

damigurl05

They probally believe that Mexicans are the only illegal immigrants and I don't think that's right because there are other illegal immigrants in other countries.

I'm Gonna Tell You

Because the crime rate is higher for mexican illegals in this country than all the other countries you mentioned combined? Just a thought.

karl k

our unreasonable generosity has never been so wildly abused by any other group.

Crazybird

Because the majority are Mexican. Because Mexico is our southern border. Because they seem to be the ones causing the most problems. But those of us who are anti-illegal are also wanting all illegals from anywhere deported. You just can't ignore the obvious. Also there is a very radical group that has declared they are taking over our country.
