They barely speak English as well not assimilate

I blame trump

DeBlasio actually has been ringing bells this week. He said the self-driving cars should have consulted with NYPD and DOT first. I agree. but he lost major points for not liking the Yankees. LoL j/k

Illegal Chinese immigrants only applies to a certain few neighborhoods in entire country. Mexican and Central American illegal immigration is widespread geographically.

“He acts as if people from Puerto Rico can’t come here and also find their own apartment

Isn't that why God invented Miami?

Pretty much, and if anyone bothers looking at the dreamers stats out of 800k+ there are 600k+ from Mexico. Coming in second is El Salvador with 28k so it's not even close. Chinese nationals have less than 1k on the dreamers list. So if anyone can't help but see every Chinese person that doesn't speak English as an illegal then multiply that by 800 times and you'll know how the rest of the country feels about Hispanics. There's a reason why Trump got elected by promoting the wall.

Also as much as people like to believe to be true most of the workers in Chinese restaurants aren't illegals. The overwhelming majority are just legal immigrants. People should look more at the stats instead of being blinded by racial optics.

While the ethnic make up of the dreamers don't fully represent all the illegals it's a pretty darn good gauge of the actual population of illegals. Here's a recent article about the ethnic makeup of the dreamers.

Also there's nothing that riles people up more than illegal children overcrowding their schools. Especially when most of the kids dont do well and drag down all the scores. An extra Chinese takeout place down the road...not so much unless you're a real racist.

Trump got elected because Americans are sick of illegals coming.... Take take take take take and send back home and to hell with America. The USA is only their *home* when they don't want to be deported. They can't build that wall soon enough. As for Puerto Ricans, they need to make up their mind. So many want to be *Independent* yet *demand* that the US treats them with the utmost respect when they are in need. Without US, their economy would be in shambles. No other way to say it. It was a mess there before the hurricane and am predicting a mess long after it.

Well I can imagine, especially those working in blue collar jobs like construction who compete directly with illegals. I ***** about H1Bs, but many people including myself totally underestimated the resentment towards illegals from South of the border.
