Your response" Possibly because the Mexican population is one of the biggest minorities in the country and the main immigration complaints are against the Mexican-American population
Please be clear, they are not immigration complaints but illegal immigration complaints. Do not allow the media and liberal thinkers to cloud the difference because there is one.
There are very large numbers of legal Mexican immigrants, they obey the immigration laws every other immigrant is forced to obey. Liberals want to cloud the subject by dismissing those against illegal immigration as racists.
If what you stated is true then liberals simply allow Mexicans (that is what people from Mexico are called, its not a racist term referring to Hispanics) to break immigration laws for votes. Would you agree to that?
See, this is why I don't think you're on a serious quest for knowledge or understanding. You've been told again and again that it's the illegal part we have trouble with. We're not happy about illegal immigrants, no matter what race. Today, in 2008, it happens to be Mexicans (not "Mexican-Americans." They aren't here legally, therefore not "American").
I personally work with many legal immigrants, few of them European, and I have no problem with them, but since I live in AZ, I have major problems with illegal immigrants, the kind that nurdered my wife's brother-in-law.
If we have to explain to you why it's the illegal part that's wrong, then you are not prepared for this, and that brings me back to my belief you're just messing with us. I hope you get lots of points and an "A" from your pony-tailed professor.
It has nothing to do with the fact that they are mostly from Mexico, it is the fact they are breaking the law to get here. If they were from Denmark, Australia, or Canada, the thought would be exactly the same. One cannot, however, ignore the statistics of where a majority of illegal immigration stems when one focuses on where to face the issue. Why is it that many, many legal Mexican-American immigrants stand with those who protect the border? It is the crime, not the country of origin.
