I don't know if it's natural to blame this problem on Mexicans. But have you'll forgotten that many of this illegal immigrnats come from central america and south america? Do you'll know that many of this people are not Mexican but are only using the nationality so they won't be deported back to their home countries. And why are there so many illegal asian immigrants in this country, why is it so easy for them to come?

Yes, theres a large Mexican population but I have notice that many of this people ARE NOT MEXICAN. There are even Brazilians and Argentinians coming.

Have you'l heard of the Maras Salvatruchas (I'm not sure if it's spelled right), they are not Mexicans. The point is that crimes are being blame to Mexicans eventhough those people are not Mexican

I live in Texas and of course theres a large hispanic population. And now I'm seeing waves of arabs, indians, and other asians coming to Texas which is pretty weird to me.

Its hard for illegal aliens to come from south America. They get shot by Mexican military attempting to cross Mexico's southern border.
And the illegal Asian population is what? If its <1 million, thats a number you have to live with. It is larger number such as 12 to 20 million that is a problem.
The fact mexico is across a border is also a big problem bccuase illegal alien immigration is a virtual land grab.

How Many Illegal Aliens?
Printer-Friendly Version
Send this article to a friend!
Government and academic estimates indicate that as of 2006 there are 11 to 12 million illegal aliens living in the United States. The Center for Immigration Studies estimated the illegal alien population at 10 million as of November 2004. FAIR estimates that in 2007 the illegal alien population is above 13 million persons.
It is difficult to have an exact figure because the illegal nature of their presence prevents any enumeration, but the U.S. Census Bureau estimated 8.7 million illegal aliens were here in 2000, and immigration officials estimate that the illegal alien population grows by as many as 500,000 every year.
Estimated Distribution of the Illegal Alien Population
The nationalities of the illegal alien population in the Census Bureau estimate and INS estimate for 2000 are as follow:

True. In fact, if Mexico weren't so draconian in policing it's southern border and so zealous in the deportation (accompanied by beatings and imprisonment) of central/south americans in Mexico illegally (on thier way to the US), there'd be even /more/ non-Mexican illegals in America.
I suppose we should thank them.
We should also emulate thier policies towards illegals.
As far as asian immigrants are concerned, while not nearly as numerous as Mexican & South/Central-American illegals, many asians do end up in America illegally when thier visas expire. Asians come to the US as students or skilled H1B visa holders (or even on tourist visas) and simply stay longer than they were aproved to stay, becoming illegal immigrants. There are also some asians who get smuggled into the country in containers and the like, but they are decidedly in the minority.

Immigrants from Central and South America come for the same reasons than Mexicans but their countries are farther away. If they are using the Mexican nationality, then that's Mexico's problem. Why is it easy to come? I don't know. I am a LEGAL immigrant and it's not easy to come legally.

Illegal aliens from Central and South America risk their lives crossing Mexico's southern border. If not shot they are likely to be robbed and beaten by the police and Mexican military. Many women report being raped.
The international organization Human Rights Watch has harshly criticized the Mexican authorities for this treatment but, so far, nothing's changed.
That's why there are fewer from south of Mexico in the United States.

We blame Mexico because most of the illegals do come from there and Mexico does nothing to stop people from crossing the border whether they are illegals from Mexico or illegals from any other country south of the US border.
Illegal Asians? Where? I have never, never, never had an illegal Asian come up to me and demand that I speak to them in their language, but illegal Mexicans call me all the time and demanding that they be spoken to in Spanish. Why do we blame Mexico? Good lord! Where do you live where you are not surronded by illegal Mexicans?

The answer is that while there are many people from other south and central American countries. The vast majority of illegals in the US are in fact Mexican nationals.
We aren't trying to lay excessive blame on Mexicans. We are simply pointing out the facts of the situation.

It makes no difference to me if the illegals are from Mexico or Brasil or anywhere else. I can't tell the difference between them anyway. They are all criminals trying to ruin my country.
Pink Rose if you are saying you are not a criminal but you are in the US illegally you are wrong. Please leave now or be deported soon.

57% are Mexican per the Pew Hispanic center, and 75% are from Latin America overall.
I am against illegal immigration from anywhere.
