That they are just fed up with the illegal immigrants and the perks they receive or do you inside hate "Mexicans" and just use this topic as leverage to get out your anger and hate. It seems like if you were against all the perks than you wouldn't refer to illegals as Mexicans.

a while back on a local news station, a phillippino man was walking during the walk outs and rallys and was asked how he feels about everything, he said i don't care, i have undocumented family members, but they're only targeting Mexicans.

I agree. Also, they forget to mention that there are U.S. citizens who also abuse the system for the perks. It's not just one ethnicity doing all the taking.

I agree this is a huge issue, our country has undocumented workers from most nations, however, especially in this forum all the nonsense and racism is directed at Mexicans. It's despicable and if people around here really wanted to get ALL illegal aliens out of the country maybe 90% of the questions wouldn't just be racist gibberish. Our country has always had a working immigrant class, that is nothing new. Capitalism needs a working class.

The system is abused much more by the United States government than anyone. I don`t have a problem with Mexicans coming over here to work, as long as they get a tax ID number so they pay taxes. Why is it the government has no problem spending 300 Billion and going on Iraq, where most of the people hate us but we wont give a little help to our neighbors to the south who will gladly come over here and work and pay taxes. It is a ruse to take out attention away from the war and up coming wars. Let them work.! So many of our people are over seas that no one is here anyway to do the work, and how many of us would really work for below minimum wadge with no benefits or rights , none that's who. If we get rid of all the illegals the price of alot of stuff will go up even more because they will have to pay us citizens at least minimum wadge. So then we can all complain about high produce prices too. What a load, the government is always, distracting us from the real issues that are affecting us the most. Lets thank the government for the 3 Trillion $ debt to while were at it. So let illegals work, because none of us our going to do it for so little. It is sad but Mexico is an easy scape goat for the issue of illegal immigration.

The reason is that 85% of illegals are Latino and mostly from Mexico. That's why.
The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.

Seeing that the majority of illegals are mexicans, I do not have a problem with referring to illegals as mexicans. If we stop that we will stop mostly 95 percent of the illegal immigration into our country.

I am fed up with the costs of illegal immigrants on the US society. I don't hate Mexicans. I have dated a Mexican. I am not angry. I am not full of hate. I don't refer to illegals as Mexicans. Where I live, I know illegals who are Honduran, Salvadoran and Guatemalan, as well as Mexican.

I DON'T refer to all illegals as Mexicans, and I don't think the leprosy in the NE US came from Mexico, but it did come from illegal immigrants, according to the press.
You are generaliziing as much as some of the ones you complain against do.

Do illegals really just want to be legal or do they hate whites? Otherwise they wouldn't use "white racists" all the time. Two can play that game
Who cares what a Filipino guy says? THEY DO go after non-Mexicans as well. Where I live they wanted to deport an 18 year old European back to his country of origin because his grandfather fudged up the paper work many years before.

I am just fed up with illegals ruining America. I am fed up with their false sense of entitlement. I am fed up with their blatant disrespect of our citizens, our flag and our laws. Any American who loves their country would be. I am tired of them calling patriots "racist". They just make themselves appear stupid whenever they do that. Loving your country and wanting your country to maintain it's sovereignty is not the same thing as racism. You people need to learn that.

Most anti illegals I know refer to illegals as "illegals" with no nationality attached to it .... but it IS true that about 80% of the illegals indeed are of Mexican nationality, so that may explain it ...
