is it just me or is the U.S. only focusing on Mexican/S. American immigration and not Asian and European?

Question

there are many vietnamese and chinese people i see in my area, maybe not in yours, im not saying any of it is a problem, it just seems like there are focusing on them when there are others but you dont hear it in the media

Answer 1

All Illegals should be deported...regardless of their origin country.

The two main reasons much attention is being paid to Mexican immigration are:

#1 70% of illegals come from Mexico.

#2 The illegals and their supporters were marching in our streets waving the Mexican flag...a whole sea of Mexican flags.

We didn't point the focus on them. They called attention to themselves.

Answer 2

Of course. Europeans and Asians aren't walking across the border and not that many are flying in here and overstaying their visas no matter what Vincente Fox would have you believe.

And the focus in on "ILLEGAL" immigration. Can we please focus this debate where it belongs. There is a legal immigration process for all people who desire to come here. Let me say that again...there is a LEGAL process.

Why is this hard to understand?? There are 11 million illegal immigrants in this country (how they counted I don't know), but nonetheless they are here. They are all over Tulsa and when I lived in East Tennessee, they were all over the place there as well. It's not hard to find illegals, chances are they are busy building homes in a subdivision near you or picking some agricultural product not that far from you.

I have a state trooper buddy who tells me the stories of pulling over van loads of illegals and INS just tells them to turn them around south.

So the answer to your question is that our efforts should be focused on Mexican/S. American immigrants. They do not have more right to be here than others wishing to immigrate legally and they certainly have not earned the right as an American citizen. Which begs the question...why do American Citizens seem to have no rights or voice in this debate?? Should not we be the voice that counts in this argument rather than the herds of illegals marching through our streets waving the flags of their native country.

At another time in our history, we would have seen such marches as an act of war.

Enough said.

Answer 3

Probably because the illegal Asian, European, and African aliens have enough sense to realize that they DON'T have a right to be here. That they are like thieves in the night. They don't have the audacity to DEMAND that they be made citizens even if they are here illegally. I know a lot of Asians look down on illegal Asian aliens.

Regardless of their actions or lack thereof they should be deported right along with the illegal Mexican aliens. I'm all about fairness, the same treatment across the board. That also means i'm against special treatment for illegal Mexican aliens. They aren't any more special then people from anywhere else, IMO.

Answer 4

There may be some truth to this, but mainly, I believe, it is because of two reasons.
1. There are far more illegals from Mexico who end up using our social services...hospitals, medicaid...etc.... They also are in our school in larger numbers and there are some very violent gangs associated with the Mexican immigrant population.
It is just harder for people from Asia and Europe to get here illegally. If they get a visa and overstay it, chances are that they were well employable
2. This is a big one....you didn't see millions of Irish running around demanding rights while waving their flags. No, on St. Patrick's Day, you might see a million Irish on the march but they are only waving Guinness and demanding more Guinness.

There is a feeling among some in Mexico that they SHOULD send their poor to the USA to make money that they send home. These aren't people wanting to be citizens if the USA...it seems they just want to use and abuse us...

Answer 5

European immigration is virtually non-existant. And if a European wants to come to live in America, they generally go through the correct process in order to become a citizen.

The problem with Mexican and South American immigration is that the majority of it is ILLEGAL. Against the law. Naturally, we should be focused on instances of mass illegality in the country.

Answer 6

The reason wet-backs/s.americans are getting the spot light is because they are the majority of the illegals and arrogantly/ flagrantly flaunt the fact that they are in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA illegally.These wet-back go out and protest and wave their crappy mexicac flags and claim that they are going to shut down the U.S. economy.(when the wet-backs had those pissy protest I didn't hear that the protests even put a dent in the U.S. economy. what a joke.looks like those wet-backs with their protests dropped the chalupa)The wet-backs are ripping off the emergency medical system 'get med-aid then skip on bill' 'their greaser kids that don't speak English are ripping off the educational systems of the different states.The wet-backs are depressing the wage scale of the U.S. by 8% if you are making $10.00 an hour the wet-backs are picking your pocket for over $1600.00 dollars a year the next time you see a illegal just think what you could do with a extra $1600.00 bucks a year.That is some of the reasons that the illegals of all races need to get the Hell out of the U.S.

Answer 7

Mexico's closest, so they'll end up being first, one way or another, demographically they're also the heaviest represented in terms of illegal immigration numbers in america, I'd imagine asia's a close second, followed by central america....you'd have to look it up to find out for sure, but suffice it to say that Mexico's the starting point, not the end-point...immigration reform's been a festering blister on the nation's *** for a long time, may as well get a nice clean needle, and lance that baby...

The sooner we have better immigration policies enacted, the sooner we'll have better relations with other countries...

Answer 8

If you think about it, they don't seem that concerned with canadians either...and they would proably be the next biggest problem to mexicans and such because we share a border with them as well. But as for european and asian...it takes a while for them to get here, i think they'd be spotted well before they made it to american soil, where as mexicans it's just 'duck be hind the bush until he looks the other way then make a run for it'

but that's just my personal opinion on it. The real question is what's with sending all those guys from the army guard to the border, but not giving them guns? Are they all going down there to hold hands and play Red Rover? They'd proably deploy a lot less down to the border if they gave them all tranqulizer guns...

Answer 9

Their are 800 thousand other illegal aliens each year from other countries, and I don't want them here either if they are not legal, it is mostly Mexicans that are flooding over the border illegally, they are the ones marching, waving their flag, demanding rights they don't have a right to, and demanding to be made citizens, and telling us what laws they like and don't like, and demanding we do what they want, and that sh*t has got to stop. This is our country not theirs I don't care what their stupid LaRaza organizations say. And it was those org. that put them up to marching and shoving it in the face and insulting the American people, Ho! and their stupid Mexican National Anthem they slaughtered. That really pissed off America, also the Mexicans that were protesting at the San Diego border, telling us to let in more illegals, man that takes guts, to bad they don't have the gut to fix their own dam country. just type in ( the high cost of illegal immigration) and read for your self.

Answer 10

I think it's you......

We don't want any Illegals here.......

You're not hearing about other Illegals because their not marching and protesting in the streets demanding rights,even though they broke the Law coming here.....

For some reason the Pro-Illegal movement thinks getting Illegal mexicans to do this will help their cause....

I wonder if they learned how bad of an Idea that was.........
