First, I'd like to note how surprised I am that your question was answered almost entirely by rascist blowhards.
The reason most people refer to Mexicans when talking about illegal aliens is because most illegal aliens here are from Mexico. The reason for that I think comes down to the fact that Mexico is the only country with a border next to the U.S. where conditions are bad enough that people would really want to leave ASAP. Canadians don't think the U.S. is all that great, and Asians/Europeans have a big ocean to cross and then a port to get through, which is arguably a bigger hurdle than a simple wall with some gun-toting (but generally oblivious) rednecks behind it.

It's a known phrase everywhere it's just that the English & other europeans are a bit more polite than Americans!!
the English prefer the phrase ''illegal immigrants'' when they talk about people moving into Britain unlawfully and since the EU's laws changed people have been too busy moving out of the rest of Europe to go everywhere else that there hasn't been much attention paid to those coming in.
besides, the changes in the EU negate all that illegal immigrant stuff & few africans or ppl from other countries speak those countries (lithuania, poland, latvia...) most of us are only just hearing that those places EXIST much less think about going there...
AND if they work there, it doesn't necessarily mean they're illegal!! besides people working illegally aren't usually found in bars (too close to money) you'll find a few of them in -yes!- the hotels, but there aren't many vacancies to be had there & inspectors are quite regular in the British hotels anyway; mostly illegal aliens or illegal immigrants will be found as cleaners. There's an army of them out there cleaning all sorts of things & we need them, because they're doing jobs that few of us could afford to live on, much less do I think. It's sad but it's true. Illegal immigrants don't get a good life without valid, passports, & other documents you can't get a proper house 'cos you can't be a tenant for longwithout having to pay bills & council tax and your t.v. license unless you've bought a passport, inwhich case you're not illegal, you're surprisingly quite legal but just fake.

Because there are more illegal`s from Mexico than illegal`s from Asia or from Europe And when the law find`s the illegal`s from Asia or Europe they do not cry for Amnesty. And turn around and call the American`s Racist if they don`t get it or even if they do get Amnesty the illegal Mexican does. And the illegal`s from Asia or Europe don`t comment as many crime`s as the illegal from Mexico dose`s.
And when the law dose`s catch the illegal`s from Asia or Europe breaking the law. And they are put in jail because of it they don`t say that the law`s is racist and they are unfair. When they are put in jail. The illegal Mexican does.

I live in a city of nearly 250,000 people. A great many of those are Spanish and illegals! They are invading the USA in increasing numbers and I don't blame them. They want a better life than South America has to offer. By working here, they can help support their families back home!
But the Europeans have become citizens! The Orientals have done likewise!
The Spanish are not willing to do so! In order to be accepted, they must become legal citizens! It is not that difficult! In every community, there are those who are willing to help others learn. Most of the time, there is no cost!!! It is totally FREE!
Why should the USA support the illegals? If you want to be here, do it legally.
Is that too much to ask???

Not sure who you're referring to, but I would assume most people use Mexicans when talking about illegal immigrants because they make up over 70% of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the US. Nobody ever disputed that there aren't illegals from any other country, it's just that Mexicans make up the majority of the illegal population.

via fact Mexicans have not come from 'Afro u . s . of america' or 'East Asia', those are no longer international places. Nor do they arrive from 'Europe', that's additionally no longer a state. If an immigrant comes from India, meaning the Republic of India, then he's an immigrant. he's the two a criminal immigrant or an unlawful immigrant, looking on how he got here to flow into the rustic. If somebody comes from Mexico, they're Mexican. they have Mexican citizenship and a Mexican passport. they're obliged below the regulation to prepare for a visa to flow to the US, and for a artwork enable in the event that they desire to stay there. maximum international places have outcomes for stepping into their territory illegally. some international places prepare the dying penalty.

Yes, but you never see them demanding rights and disrespecting the US and it's people.....ONLY MEXICANS. Someone planted the idea in their heads that they should have rights in our country - even though they are here illegally. Don't you remember all that protesting back in April and May? Yeah, Mexicans. Well, they are not entitled to rights! This is not their country. Another thing.........if you lived down south you would understand a little better. There's not many illegals up north. They want to be as close to Mexico as possible. Close to their families.

85% of illegals are from Mexico. There are illegals in America from other countries, I agree. The main focus just happens to be on Mexicans because they make up over 3/4 of the illegal population. These are the facts.

The key word is ILLEGAL....
..Who cares where they come from or why..
What US citizens care about is that they CHOOSE to break US entry laws!!!
Gee ...doesn't everyone want neighbors moving in next door that think their need,wants, desires are ABOVE the law???
Illegals come to the USA to obtain things (like $$ jobs, free education/medical treatment, decent housing plumbed to provide hot showers / inside toilets, good roads, clean water and numerous other bennies such as cable ... oh and lest we forget a "better life"
The problem is that this "better life" does not belong to them any more than than shiny fancy new car at the dealers lot is mine for the taking...
Sounds like your problem is that U think Mexicans should be viewed as what??-- persecuted or different from the other illegals???

It is very frustrating but what u say is true. i think the only reason why the Mexicans get the spotlight is because Hispanic in general are the fastest growing minority group and the states that surround Mexican, such as Texas and California, are giving the government alot of grief.
