they did it to the Irish back in the early 1900's. Americans are not mad because they are not white, we are sick of the ILLEGAL ALIENS expecting us to change and assimilate to to there cultures, And refuse to change and embrace OUR customs

I honestly believe that if they were European there would not be the anger that is out there right now. I would say out of the 100 percent people that are against illegal immigrants that 60 percent is based only because of it being hispanics. I don't see people talking about the other illegal people who are not of hispanic descent.

Yes, I certainly would. My beef is with legal status, not country of origin.
Edit to Gomanyes: The Chinese Exclusion Act was put into effect in 1882, lasted for 61 years. Also, in the early 1900's, there were definitely immigration laws.

It's not about their place of origin. It's about how they live in America. Are they productive to society, are they willing to learn our history/present and do they consider themselves a proud American? Unfortunately, a lot of Mexicans come here to steal the American dream instead of be a part of it. If this is what your really asking, is if we only dislike Mexican immigrants then no, it's the ones who hold America in contempt while still coming here to reap it's benefits no matter what your origin is.

We have answered this question at least a dozen times before--It does not matter where the illegals come from. If anyone desire to enter our country we ask them to go through proper channels, obey our laws and be productive in our society. Thanks

Um, yes. It happened just like that about 100+ years ago. That was the exact group of uneducated, unskilled masses that "invaded" during that period. It's a matter of the amount of uneducated/unskilled people entering illegally and not their ethnicity that angers people... Don't try to make it a race issue. Do a little research before you go believing the sympathizers...

Yep. Illegal doesn't have a color or race.
The only reason one race is singled out on here is because they have demanded to be noticed and want to force us to accept them and change out language for them.

Who cares where they came from, the issue is not origin, the issue is legality

Yes. Round up the visa overstayers and deport them too, I'm pretty sure we've been saying that all along.

Illegal is illegal. North is north. Blue is blue. Bleu cheese is bleu cheese.
Yellow jackets is yellow jackets.
Parts is parts!
Still confused?!
