When people say "Illegal"...?

Question

all you automatically see is Mexican. Why is that? Do US people not know the meaning of their own words? Illegal isn't a race. Please don't group me with the other illegals. I'm a proud Latino! Not African or Asian

Answer 1

Are you bragging about being an illegal? Go back to where you came from and if you want to come to the US do it legally. I don't discriminate when it comes to illegals, I don't care if you're from Mexico, Burma or Mars. If you don't pay taxes and expect a free handout of health care, clothing and/or housing then we don't want you here. I work hard and pay more than 30% of my wages in taxes. I do not want my tax money going to someone...anyone...who doesn't deserve it.

Answer 2

Actually, when people say, "Illegal," I do not automatically see a Mexican. I am a "US person," and I do know the meaning of my words. If you are in this country illegally, you have a lot in common with other immigrants of various ethnicity. If it offends you to have something in common with an African or Asian, then you are a bigot. I hope I have misunderstood your sentiment.

Answer 3

We know that. Illegal is not a race. So quit calling us racist when we are against illegal immigration.

However, your question is contradictory. First you are irritated that illegal is taken to mean Mexican, then you are irritated if we say 'illegal' which lumps you with all other races of illegals.

However, illegals are illegally here and using public services, and are in a single class for that reason, regardless of race.

Answer 4

I think the reason most people see Mexican is that the reality of illegal immigration happens to be that most illegal aliens here are Mexicans. We are certainly aware that other races and countries have people here illegally, and are just as concerned about them.

Answer 5

Good Point

If, As You Say, Illegal Isn't A Race
Why Does The Pro-Amnesty Camp
Insist On Calling Us Racists ?

No-one Is Calling For Deportation Of All Mexicanos

But Many (MOST, Majority)
Mexicano / Latino / Hispanic "Community Organizations"
Are FALSELY ACCUSING American Citizens
Of Being "Racist" Towards Mexicans

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY

20 Million ILLEGAL Aliens
85 Percent Are CITIZENS Of MEXICO
15 Percent Are OTM Citizens Of ALL OTHER NATIONS COMBINED

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY
85% + 15% = 100%

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY

Answer 6

Actual when someone says illegal, the first thing that I think of, is "against the law". When someone says illegal alien, I admit, I think mostly of Mexicans, but that is because from my experience, I have only met illegal aliens who were Mexican. So from my personal experience, Mexicans constitute 100% of the illegal alien population. Yeah! How does that grab you?

Answer 7

Maybe because the southwest is virtually populated with illegal Mexicans, with thousands pouring in every day? It's a matter of degree.

Answer 8

Not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants only the fence jumping, river swiming, and border hoping one's with no regard for US law are.

If you want to be here then come here legaly dont B8tch about us wanting you to leave when you have shown no respect for our immigration law!!

Oh and btw, its really not that hard to come here and be here legaly. There are literarly over 50 some different ways to do it.

Answer 9

Because the largest number of illegals (11...13 million??) who are looting city treasuries, health care facilities, etc. and parading in our streets are waving Mexican flags.
