Why do ignorant people assume that Imigrants are from Mexico?
Answer:
Because they are like you said ignorant....
Are you for real? Maybe you haven't noticed the 3 million people streaming across the border every year? Most of the immigrants are unskilled, uneducated laborers. A disproportionate number of them are criminals. A disproportionate number of them exploit our welfare system.
I don't have a problem with immigrants. I have a problem with illegal-immigrants.
People who assume the vast majority of illegal immigrants
are poor ignorant Mexicans and correct...
So the people who make this assumption are correct...
So they are not ignorant in making this assumption..
As soon as I hear about an Irish national sneaking across the southern border then I will quit assuming.
All kidding aside, that is EXACTLY why we need a fence built. We cannot assume that a person sneaking across our southern border is Mexican or hispanic. They may be a Saudi, Iranian, Syrian, or of middle east descent and a known terrorist!!!
We are the most , largest and highest group or Immigrating Nation within a nation, documented or undocumented, legal or illegal, the majority are Mexicanos like me. Somos machos y somos muchos.
not all are from Mexico, the majority are.
B e c a u s e 90% of them ARE from Mexico, and I do not appreciate being called stupid.... And if they could feed their anchor babies, and any others they managed to illegally sneak across the border, then they would not be taking advantage of food stamps, health care, and all the other benefits our government is GIVING these illegals.
Because they are racist against Mexico.
because the other immigrants take the effort to learn english and dont stand out as much. also, sais tontos y muchos, no machos y muchos.
Why do Ignorant Mexicans lie on yahoo?You have your answer.
It's not ignorance - it's stereotype and prevalence. The only ignorance that I see in it is when they assume all Central/South American immigrants are Mexican.
It also depends on region. In California, immigrants will stereotypically not be just Hispanic, but Asian as well. In Miami, it's Cubans.
they assume that all immigrants came from mexico becuase is the closet border country to the u.s. other then canada but hey they get visa to get in here. also because hispanics make most of immigrants in the u.s. but anyhow, i've know at people who are immigrants and are not mexicans. is like when people think all latinos are mexicans but in reality not only becuase latinos have brown doesnt mean they are mexicans . example me i'm salvadorean and hondurean that doesnt make mexican but people always assume i am.but they choose to stay ignorant becuase they dont want to learn. and by the way illegal immigrants help the u.s. economy becuase they would work less for the jobs that the u.s. citizens dont want to do i.e. picking the fields, cleaning houses, your garden, etc.
mhm because they ARE ignorant....
there are alot of other immigrants from other contries like italy, france, germany, brazil and other countries...
mexicans are just the majorities...because they are right below us...
Immigrants come from many countries not only Mexicans. Most of the immigrants in America came from Ireland, UK, Africa and China.
At this point in time most are from Mexico, their the ones streaming over our border right now, and in Mexican neighborhoods you see tons of strollers with babies, where ever their are Mexicans, strollers follow. You must be ignorant not to notice all the talk about illegal immigrants from Mexico and south America don't you watch the news, don't you see them standing on street corners looking for work, Daaaaaaaam ! you must be blind and deaf.
there are allot of illegal people in the U.S from Mexico. There are other illegal people here too not only Mexican. I think there are more illegal Mexican people here than any other race. i cant even get a job without learning Spanish first. All the jobs in my field require you to be bilingual and in my area where I live the bilingual is Spanish. i also know allot of Arabian and Polish illegal immigrants. The majority of allot of families whether they are illegal or not are working poor. I am not illegal and we hardly make enough to pay the bills and rent.
My BF had a friend that is illegal and so is his wife and they have 4 kids. All the kids are legal since they were born in the U.S. The father works at a hot dog stand. He works very very hard to provide for his family. They get food stamps and WIC.
We all have to do what we have to do to survive and make ends meet. I am not racist but the only thing I wish is that every one speak English in the U.S.
I guess cause every hospital is full of illegal Mexicans giving birth to another anchor baby
The most common type of illegal immigration is "sneaking over the border", followed by overstaying a visa!
Now let's think this out ... who would be sneaking over the border ... Canadians? Asians (world class swimmers only!) Europeans (once again .... world class swimmers only!)
My vote goes to the Mexicans (and those crossing the Mexican/US border, whatever the nationality!)
Seriously, Illegals from where-ever p*** me off! Be they white, yellow, black or brown, if they ain't legal they should go DOWN!
But to "put a face" on illegal immigration ... why not Hispanic? Are most of the illegals WHITE? Are they BLACK (dang, can't call them "African-American" if they ain't legal Americans, can we?) Are they yellow (or Asian, to be politically correct)? Then let's look at who is the biggest "champion" of the cause of the illegal alien ... The Black caucus in the US legislature? NO! The White caucus of the US legislature? (as if any such entity would be allowed to exist!) NO! The Hispanic caucus of the US legislature? NOW you got it!
Just looking at the situation, with my eyes wide open! My ancestors came here legally, learned the language, tried to fit in ... why doesn't everyone who wants to come here do the same?
The majority of immigrants and illegal aliens are from Mexico.
No one believes that immigrants are from Mexico. We have immigrants from all over, just most of the CRIMINAL ILLEGALS are from Mexico.
Since they border with our country I think more people associate that term with people from mexico, and, correct me if im wrong, they are the largest immigrated population in the usa (legal of not) and i hate to say it immigrants from mexico are the biggest problem we face (immigration wise) since we share a border its easier for them to be here and take advantage of our system, its a bit harder to get here if there is an ocean in your way
