Isn't the "illegal problem" really just a "Mexican problem"?

Question

Many people say that "Mexicans are the majority of the illegals."

They use this as an excuse to ignore the other illegals and make excuses for illegal Visa overstayers (most of whom are White).

Isn't this really about "too many Mexicans"? Too many Brown people?

If not, then why don't they ever prove it by talking about Canadian, British and Irish illegals?

Answer 1

I absolutely agree with you. If it IS an illegal problem, they wouldn't only try to close the Mexican border. It's called racism. Nobody ever notices the non-Mexicans do they??
Of course, many people won't admit it and I'll receive many thumbs down for this. Well thanks for speaking the truth.

Blending in is stupid, just because I'm here doesn't mean I'll forget where I'm from. Yes, I do respect American laws, I know English, my family is learning it, we work, go to school but I'll always be Mexican. There is no such thing as blending in. The U.S. doesn't have a specific culture or customs, it IS a blend...but a blend of many other cultures. By they 'blend in', do you mean by their skin color??

Answer 2

Last year, illegal aliens from over 100 different countries were deported. So, no, I don't think it's "just a Mexican problem".
Just because you come on Yahoo! answers in the immigration forum and illegal aliens (mexicans) seems to be the favorite topic, out in the real world, it's different.
Those enforcing our laws are deporting illegal aliens regardless of race, age, sex. PERIOD.
So coming on this forum and trying to advance your theory has no effect on what is happening in the real world.
Who is ignoring other illegals??
As other posters have said, since the overwhelming majority of illegal aliens are mexican, it stands to reason that the overwhelming majority of those deported are, guess what, mexican. It has nothing to do with race, merely statistics, percentages, and ratios.
Simple math.

Answer 3

Mexicans are the main problem but, Illegals are coming in from every direction possible. Then when they get here 9 out
of 10 either file for food stamps or disability. Which is one of many reasons this country is going broke!

Answer 4

You are right to a certain extent. But you are forgetting that perception is reality. People are feeling the burn of Illegal Immigration, and it is easy to associate it with skin color.

Illegals from other european (and Canada) countries just kind of blend, and their culture never clashes. People in this country aren't feeling the effects of the illegals that are from other countries like they are feeling from the mexican illegals.

I have met and love many "brown" people. "Brown" people who are well respected, hard-working legal citizens. They, too, are also feeling the burn of of the effects of Illegals, and unfortunately the stereotypes that go with it.

As much as you want to make it a race issue, it is not. You would make a much better case at a human rights issue. All the american people want is to keep the criminals and the leaches out, that's all. We just want people to migrate here legally. Is that too much to ask?!

Answer 5

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that at least 9 out of every 10 illegals is either Mexican or came here through Mexico.

Answer 6

Mostly Mexican and the brown tint has a lot to do with it but will not ever be openly admitted. You see a lot of people on this site saying as long as they come in legal, but i would bet if a brown moved in next door them and for some reason could not get along with them, they would refer to them as illegal or *******, which is a term i have not heard in a while, but i am certain it still circulates.

Answer 7

indoors the eastern U.S., it particularly is not any further silent. indoors the Southwest, it is principally circumstances (incorrectly) silent. In Georgia, people do no longer use "susceptible" with the aid of certainty they do no longer comprehend what the interest potential, and so because it is complicated to declare if the "L" must be suggested or no longer. (Sorry, i'm all disillusioned concerning the pathetic state of public guidance in Georgia, right this moment.)

Answer 8

Yeah sure why not, let's say it's Mexican. Now what? You are just talking in circles. You just focus on the straw man "Racism". That's because La Raza, has been teaching you to:

"Attack opposition (Anti-Illegal organizations) as “Racist” even though they know a vast majority are really not Racist. La Raza knows that simply saying this puts an anti group into a full time effort to defend themselves and disorganizes their supporters."

As you can see, your questions are slowly on their way to being completely ignored. If you want to debate immigration, try arguing a valid point next time.

Answer 9

Because Mexicans Are the main problem. The others are just like icing on a 99 layer cake.

Answer 10

Yes, it is! At least where I live!
