I totally understand that illegal immigration is a crime and shouldnt be allowed but when people think about this they think Mexicans, Here in NY there are illegals from Europe, asia everywhere and people dont mind them as much as they mind Mexicans, so because they are white and pretty is ok for them not to be legal? When they see a mexican or someone that looks mexican they assume the person is illegal its just sad, Alot of mexicans that qualify for benefits dont get them because they are too scare of being cought and deported and dont even get medical help when they need it, They are not the only criminals, some americans make it easy on them selling them social securities and giving them jobs off the books and renting them houses to live, I see more news of African Americans commiting crimes than immigrants but yet they have more of a problem with mexicans, I dont judge anybody because Im not perfect and Im not better than anybody else, so i dont get why people do this so much

At least in New York you walk in the streets or watch the news and you will hear more about african americans commiting crimes and if you get offended by this its the same way those illegal and legal immigrants feel when you assume they are bad people

Well why are you being prejudice to us and assuming when a human being sees a Mexican on the street they presumethat they are illegal.
The fact is, Yes, there are illegal immigrants from everywhere, But Hispanic are the highest majority of illegal aliens.
I'm glad they're scared of getting caught and deported!! They shouldn't be here,
They can't just come here and make this their home without being legal!! When i want a new house, i just don't break into someone elses, This to me, Feels like what they are doing, Commiting a crime to come here, Illegal immigrants need to wait, like everyone else does.
Illegal immigrants demand and expect rights, they have anchor babies that otherwise wouldn't qualify them for benefits.
You say you don't judge, But you quite conveniently slip in that you see more news of African Americans running into trouble wit the law.

Why are you prejudice I see you spouting off at the mouth about African Americans when they are not who I hear on the news all the time committing crimes! You want to know why because they are not the ones always committing crimes we have heard about Illegals killing cops the ms13 and other gangs mostly hispanic on the news killing everyone. A white man killed little girls at an Amish school recently man there are criminals of every race dont just say I hear more about blacks and then ask why people are prejudice, all you would have to do is ask yourself why am I prejudice against black people. All I have to say is the reason why hispanics are always thought of when it comes to Illegal immigrants is because that is the only race I have seen out in the streets rallying talkin about La Raza this and that. Maybe if some other races come out and protest like Illegals do then maybe we would pay more attention. But for now its all about the hispanics, Sorry maybe if you wouldnt protest the fact that your criminals so much and know it then maybe we wouldnt pick on you so much

It's not about being prejudice - It's about wanting to keep our country from being overpopulated by criminals and people we know nothing about. If anyone is going to come here they should do it the legal way so we can profile and register them.
We're aware there are WHITE people who come here illegally - We don't just "have it out" for the Mexican/Latino/Hispanic communities that are residing here illegally. The majority of the problem lies south of the border - 90 percent of the problem comes from there.
When will you people just accept the fact that illegal immigration has nothing to do with racism, or being a fascist, being prejudice, or "afraid of what we don't know.."
There are blacks and latinos and hispanics and asians and other people who are against illegal immigration to this county.

The Mexicans are easier to spot than the white ones. Besides, there so many of them it's gotten to a point I assume they are illegal. It's hard not to when you know so many are. I treat the illegals no different, just wish they would do the right thing.

Ultimately, humanity instinctively divides people into "us" and
"them". This is not surprising if you are competing with others
for resources for your survival.
The people who take care of you (your parents, your tribe)
clearly must be "us" because without them you would not
survive, even though they are eating food that you could be
eating.
The guy that doesn't look like you, doesn't speak the same
language ... what good does he do you? Does he defend
you from the local lion?
So ... its not too surprising that people over-simply "us" and
"them" on the basis of visual clues. All it takes is a few
formative events (like being passed over for a promotion by
one of "them" ) and you get yourself an all-out hatred.
If there are more than enough resources for all, it probably
wouldn't be a problem ... other than humanity has a way of
growing until the resources run out.

I too have stated that there are more illegals than just Mexicans. Indeed they arrive from around the world in hopes of a better life. However, it is good and right that they (illegals of all races and creeds) do not get benefits. If you choose to enter into another nation illegally than you must be prepared to pay the consequences. Regardless of race or ethnicity an illegal alien should and indeed must be deported. See...equal treatment.

Try living near the border and being disturbed every night with them running thru your yard, stealing your furniture and anything else left outside. Taking jobs, bringing in diseases, destroying the schools and hospitals. Live in that enviroment for awhile, your opinion will change. I won't call it racism as it has nothing to do with race. Most people want the law breakers locked up or removed. It's not fair to those of us that live here legally.

You are prejudice yourself.You see African Americans committing crimes than immigrants. You are pointing fingers but you are the worst culprit,you racist bigot. You categorized a group of people. Haven't they been thru enough from bigots like you. If you live in a glass house moron don't throw stones. Do you know majority of the ciminals locked up in LA county jail are Latinos. I don't judge people by colors or race, but your racist comment is uncalled for. That's a cheap shot moron.

It's not ok for anyone to be illegal. Poor people even if they pay all taxes they owe just can't earn enough to pay for education for their families, etc. We pay the rest for them. That is why we have to limit how many people can come. Just because someone makes money exploiting them doesn't make it ok for them to come to our schools and services and overstrain them so they are no longer serving our own people well.
It doesn't matter what race they are. And illegal immigrants should not qualify for benefits beyond emergency health care prior to deportation in my view.
