BECAUSE THEY'RE WHITE |

Because they are not visible. My cousin worked illegally in an Irish pub in NYC for years, and never had a problem. She blended right in. |

Perhaps because there aren't 12.2 million of them? |

Because they assimilate better, and they aren't as visible. Are you specifically complaining? |

There are not 12.2 million of them for starters. They are not out marching in the streets and taking their issue to the newspapers and demanding 'rights'. I find the audacity of the 'spokes people' of the latino community appalling.
Any immigrant that comes here illegally has broken the law of the country and should be held accountable. I am her legally and am doing all the right things to get my pemanent residency status and green card. IWe pay taxes, take care of our own health care and contribute to our community with our dollars and time. We may have to go to the back of the line if amensty for illegals, mostly hispanics, is declared. Is that fair? Am I wrong to be appalled? |

They didn't try to change our language. They learned ours. |

Illegal means illegal whether you're here illegally from Mexico, Ireland, or even China. Illegals from anywhere should not be tolerated. |

Because they aren't retarded about it. They don't wastefully crowd our streets with their flags and protesters. They don't have 40 kids per couple. They don't refuse to learn our language. They don't drop out of school, they don't join gangs, they don't commit as many crimes, and they don't invite their criminal pals from their country to screw up the US more than they could by themselves. |

Oh, but WE DO! Illegal immigration is a GLOBAL problem, not unique to the United States...nor is it unique to Mexico. |

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because they improved, not ruined, the areas where they settled? Or that they worked very hard, assimilated into society (didn't force society to adapt for them), and bettered themselves? They didn't have an entitlement mentality; they were here to work and better themselves, and that, they did. |

Because they're harder to spot! All the indians coming into the country and fairly obvious because of their skin colour. Without white people speaking, they could easily be English. Stop all immigration I say! |

When the words "illegal immigrant " are used it means ANYONE in this country illegally. Its not a difficult concept. Unfortunately the majority of them come across the southern border. |

There are not that many as far as I know, but those of us that hate illegals would like to see them also go home. Also, in the areas the non-Latino illegals hang out, I don't read where they are committing large amounts of violent crime. Check socal, 65% of all their childrapers/killers/major drug felons etc are all illegal Mexicans. |

I think people complain about any illegal immigration regardless of the country of origin. The fact is that illegal Mexican immigration is a hot topic because of the sheer numbering into the millions of illegal aliens coming from Mexico. If you have one or two black ants in your house, yet an entire nest of thousands of red ones, are you going to try to go searching for black ants and ignore the red ones? No. You get rid of the bigger problem first and then work on the small one later. With over a million illegal aliens entering via Mexico from all over the world, we can eliminate the biggest problem first. Illegals from every country will be decreased when we address the issue by starting where it originates from. We must not support illegal immigration from any source. It is the Mexican illegals who are actively attempting to secure rights they are not entitled to with demonstrations that reveal the fact that there are more of them than any other nationality. I didn't see any Irish flags being waved during the multiple demonstrations of illegal aliens shown on the news. |

they do. but 80% of all illegals are from Mexico. if you concentrate on the Irish and European 80 percent of the people will make it into the country. they make up a small percentage of the illegals and ice is sometimes harder on the Irish and European illegals than the Mexican, because the Mexican can scream discrimination. |

Because they aren't as verbal about coming to America and demanding free services for everything, all paperwork, signs, etc. in their own language, they don't display their old country's flag all over their cars, and spend their time promoting their original country while making demands that our society bend to their whims. If you came here for a better life and the benefits of living in America- then be supportive of the country that took you in and attempt to blend into the melting pot of America. No one is asking you to abandon your beliefs or affection for your original country but at least try to conform to the laws and to society at large instead of causing disruptions and complaining because it is only 100 times better here than in your original country instead of 200 times better. |

Everytime I answer a question about illegal immigration, I spefically mention thet "I have a problem with all illegal immigrants, not just Mexicans" Illegals are a major problem and it doesn't matter where they come from or what nationality they are. They ALL must go ! |

Because the volume isn't as high, considering simply the geographic locations of those two countries.
Hundreds of people are entering America daily, and it's happening along their countries boarders. It brings up the questions that make people uncomfortable, if these people can tunnel into the country, who's to say anyone can't? |

people are complaining about ALL illegal immigrants. It's just that the "fight" against illegals start with the mexicans; b/c 1. there are millions more 2. they are easier to spot/hear |

You cant tell them apart from the rest of American culture. Mexicans are easier to pick on because their skin stands out. |

Your bigotry and racism is showing, by asking the question. Most Western Europeans that are here, whether legal or illegal status, learn to speak English. They do not apply for food stamps. They do not commit violent crimes them run back south of the border. Usually, it is the well educated or highly skilled Western Europeans that come here. The last figures I saw, was that the amount of illegal Irish and European Illegal aliens was so minuscule, that it is less than 1% of the total illegal immigrants in the USA. They do not move into neighborhoods and turn it into little Latin American cesspools of drugs, crime, and racist behavior against anyone else that will not live the way they do, which is like Mexicans and Latin Americans that live in the slums of their home land. I was in Iraq from March 2004 to March 2005. Even the Iraqis are going through hard times, they do not want to leave. They want to stay and rebuild their country. Most illegals from south of the border, are a bunch of wimps that do not want to help their countries become better, they are running like cowards to the USA. |

I don't think Irish and European illegal immigration is a very big problem or people would complain about it. |

I can see where people will sometimes assume that we speak of illegals, we're only referring to those that come over from Mexico. I speak of all illegal immigrants, unless I say specifically the Mexican people.
I think too, right now, it may just be easier to focus on one group of people, due to the numbers that keep coming in, constantly. It's more readily available on the news right now.
I remember years back, when people were speaking of no one else but the Vietnamese people coming here.. and everything that was handed to them freely. Made alot of American citizen more than upset.
I think that if these people (all illegal immigrants) came here legally, we'd be more accepting. |
