This website got my attention: http://www.irishlobbyusa.org/
Its funny that we even got illegals from one of the countries that most of the first immigrants came from.

I do understand that they are from everywhere !!! Heck there is an Illegal European that posts on here all the time demanding rights !! (can't wait till INS catches up with her!!)
But, do you see any Asians protesting on the streets chanting !Viva Mexico and viva la raza !?!? Was it the illegal Africans that took down the American flag and put the Mexico flag up, while putting the American flag upside down under it?? The illegal Mexicans (and their sympathizers ) are the ones to blame for coming under all this scrutiny!!
You don't come to a country illegally and DEMAND rights from that country. And then expect NO ONE to single you out!!!

I understand we have illegals from every where, 800 thousand a year come here illegally from other countries, and it makes no difference it is illegal and they are breaking the law. the point they are making in the article, is they are not allowing immigrants from Ireland to come here, and pretty soon their will be no Irish born presence in America if they don't let Irish people immigrate. That is another problem if we don't stop the Mexicans from coming and filling up our country with Mexico's poor, we will have no room for other immigrants that want to come. If our government is going to let hordes of illegal Mexicans in and do nothing about it, then they have to let hordes of Irish, Germans, French, Africans, it's just not fair that we just be over run by Mexicans. It is harder for others to get in now because the Mexicans are taking up all the quotas.

We do indeed have illegals from everywhere and every walk of life. 1% are Canadian! But over half are still Hispanic and over half of them are Mexican........ while I don't agree with racist ignorance spewing from this site, it is not too hard to understand why it so many people direct their fervor onto one group when they are so numerous. Of course, add to it that people cannot readily tell Mexicans from any other Hispanic class (it really is a regional thing and with very little tell tale marks), and everyone becomes Mexican.......... sad really.
I would like to note though, that those that spout racist rhetoric are in the minority. Most of us understand what we are debating about on a higher level. Illegal is Illegal. Criminal is Criminal. My heart can bleed for you, but the hemorrhaging of my borders to your drug runners, mafias, illiterate poor (which no country accepts for immigration including Mexico!), etc will not be tolerated!

Of course there are illegals of all nationalities here in the Us.but since I am from Arizona,the illegals that affect me directly are the illegals from Mexico do to its close proximity.I do not hold racist view of anyone .i have employees and friends that are of many different races.but that has no bearing on the fact that we in the southwest are being over run by invading hoards of illegals.
I am opposed to any amnesty programs for any illegals.Close the borders and place our military to guard them .We can no longer support this open door policy.Its time to stop being the destination of every one in other nations.It is an illegal criminal act so don't come here and expect us to welcome you .Its time to put a stop to all illegal immigration.

I spoke with a Dr from NY and he mentioned that it is very common for Russians to be illegal there. They come over, expect to have a very extravagant life style. They drive up to his office is big town cars, fur coats and are begging to get on medicare/medicade. They are soaking the system even more so than the Mexican illegals. Russians expect and want to be treated like they are of royal blood, yet in their country they were the poorest of the poor.
So, No, not all illegals that are playing the system are from mexico.

I understand that we have illegals from all over the world...
Just try to make these people understand.....
I just don't give a damn if the majority is Mexican. An illegal Mexican is no diff from an Illegal Jamaican, except culturally...
This is a racial issue..

some of us seem to know that. maybe its because there's more illegal Mexicans then anything. if the other country's was as close as Mexico then we'd have more of them to illegally here.

Illegal aliens from Mexico are coming here by the hundreds of thousands. Making demands and waving their flag. Big difference. Why can't you understand that?

Illegal alien invaders come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Everyone else seems to know but you. Trying the race card won't work only exposes you as a racist. I say it all the time... ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS are not a RACE.

I'm sorry but for those of you proclaiming that "because there's more Mexicans doing it and it easier for them to get here" does not keep you from being racist. If it's a law or a policy, it's for everybody. "Rules for Mexican Immigration" sound like "Solutions to the Jewish Question" to me. Selective enforcement or creation of laws = RACIST, period!
