i've met a lot of illegal canadians, south africans, aussies, irish, english, etc here in socal. Okay, and didn't they have to have a visa to get in? Why should Mexicans not have to have a visa?

People from most European countries don't need visas to come here. Neither do Canadians, Aussies or Kiwis. I don't know what your criteria for "illegal" is, but most likely few of those people are really illegal.
Most Africans can get here on special classes of visas. Mexicans and So. Americans have the hardest time being admitted.
