How come the only Illegal immigration comes from Mexico, but not from any other country's?

Question

Do all the other imigrants from the rest of the world enter legally?

Answer 1

Are you kidding me? How ignorant.

Answer 2

Illegal immigrants come from almost every country in the world to the US. However more come from Mexico and Central American countries because of their proximity to us. No boat or airline trip is required. Hop a bus and walk a few miles and you are here. The Asian immigrants are increasing pretty quickly and they are also using Mexico as a staging point to get into the US. There are plenty of Canadians that just drove down and stayed too. Economics is driving most. The American dream is the world dream. I work for the Government with Mexicans, Russians, Africans, Asians, and Canadians. I am assuming that they are legal since we had to have background checks to get employment, but who really knows?

Answer 3

There is illegal immigrants that come from all over the world, Mexico is just a particular problem because their culture is so much different from ours and our countries border each other making it much easier to get across the border than if you were flying in from another country. I'm sure there is a higher percentage of immigrants that enter legally, but the news tends to focus on the bad things and never the good ones. Hope that helps with your question.

Where did you get the idea that all illegal aliens are from Mexico? About 60 percent of illegals sneak across the Mexican border and not even all of them are Mexican. Many are Central American who came to the US via Mexico. The rest, the other 40%, entered the country legally but some where along the line they fell out of legal status. They either over stayed a tourist visa, overstayed a student visa, failed to leave when a sponsored visa expired, or for a number of other reasons.

Answer 5

Some illegal immigrants are not from Mexico.

People from overseas enter the US by using the Visa Waiver Program and they don't go back to their country but stay in the states illegally. Even some Japanese people stay here illegally although many people have a hard time to think that Japanese people would do such a thing.

Answer 6

That is just simply a wrong assumption. There are many illegal immigrants from other countries. Some of The people who were the hijackers on 9/11 were here illegally (over stayied visa). There are lots of people from South America. Just recently a couple from China won a give away (toys are us if memory serves correctly) but they were here illegally so it was on all of the news channels. Mexico is where the majority of our illegal immigrants come from but they are not the only place.

Answer 7

That's not true. Illegal immigrants come from many different countries. Mexico seems to provide the largest number, probably due to their close proximity and being joined by land for the most part (there are no oceans to cross). The poor economy and bleak future Mexicans face in their own country is the main driving force that motivates them to break our laws and cost us taxpayers billions of dollars every year. Canada, our only other overland neighbor, unlike Mexico, is a proud nation with a secure economy which sustains it's citizens and makes their successful futures a possibility

Answer 8

No the only two countries that enter the United States illegally are Mexico and Cuba. The rest of the countries can't get into the U.S without an airplane.

Answer 9

Not even all illegal immigrants come from Mexico, there are countries in central and soulth america. Some illegal asians even come through the Mexican borders. But the greater number of illegal immigrants no one seem to notice are the EASTER EUROPEANS. Not so noticeable because they are most whites.

Answer 10

Illegals immigration does not just come from Mexico. Most of the illegal immigrants are from Mexico but all illegal immigrants aren't Mexican. They aren't even all Hispanic. Illegal immigrants come from everywhere. We just get a lot from Mexico because its close.

Answer 11

The majority of illegal immigrants come from Mexico, because they have easier access to cross the border.

-They can hide in boxes to avoid detection or under boxes of fruit as a camoflage. The driver can be a legal immigrant taking relatives (undetected) on the other side of the border.

-They can hide under panel boards of SUV's (Sport Utility Vehicles). The driver, usually a legal U.S. citizen or immigrant, can be paid a huge sum of money by illegal immigrants. Money carries a lot of weight in this one.

-Other immigrants, such as Asians, Europeans, Iraquians, Al Quadans and other nationalities, can come to the U.S. with a Passport, but most come undetected through Mexico or the Canadian seaboard. People find ways to come to the U.S. undetected. Even through freight boats.

-Relatives that live in the U.S. can help their illegal immigrant relatives deliver their babies. They can claim their relative's babies as their own (undetected) and raise them as U.S. citizens. These children receive Social Security Cards and the whole nine yards as U.S. citizens, which develop into over population in the U.S. Then these children have babies and there you have it, it builds. These children can have Passports to visit their relatives and stay in the country for years, but still be claimed as U.S. citizens.

I am not only pointing this to illegal immigration from Mexico, but from other countries as well. Many people believe that the world is owned by man and that land should not be claimed. Humanity is building up like crazy and the world is in chaos.

Hope that answers your question.
