I do care about those illegal immigrants from other countries too, I care because I see them all getting away scott free living in safe havens in the inner city and protected under the not-hispanic crowd.

I used to live in NYC I know there are huge pockets of illegal Irish in Woodside, Queens. I remember Americans LOVING them Irish, they would come to local markets and be coddled, local irish pubs would laugh with illegals like nothing. Would a raid ever happen in Woodside? Doubt it, Irish culture is embraced in America.

But Mexicans...Brazilians...Puerto Ricans, Columbians..not so much love shown towards them in America. Even though this side of the world is a majority hispanic countries, America has a real issue getting along with it.

So yes in my eyes Mexicans or Hispanics in general, are special in a way that they are looked at as the enemy, much of the time due to ignorance of hispanic culture and because many hispanics that come here from neighboring countries are not well to do.


So in your eyes it is ok to be here illegal if you are from mexico because they are special. what makes them so special that they can break laws?

You really missed it. What makes all of the others so special that they don't have to worry about it if they did break the immigration laws?

My example was the Irish in Woodside, Queens whom have been there forever, will come right out and say they are illegal and American's protect them and embrace their culture.

How do you know ANYTHING about them, since, by definition, they're "outside the system"?.

Common sense tells us the vast majority are simply looking for an improved lifestyle, of course. But they're still illegal, and they're still breaking the law.

MOST drunk drivers never hurt anyone at all...I'll bet it's less than 5% who actually "collide" with another vehicle. Nevertheless, we aggressively go after drunk drivers, and get them off the road. Not because the HAVE hurt others--but because the MIGHT.
bad analogy. there is nothing positive about drunk driving. immigration does carry many positives with it.

so if youre not indigenous, you need to leave? its safe to say the natives had their own set of social policies and rules. why do you think there was so much violence in the acquisition of the lands? obviously the original "lawmakers" had opposition to immigration.

2. There's enough white, black, asian people who commit crimes. Your stereotyping illegal immigrants as committing more crime than other groups.

3. Again another inadvertent consequence of illegal immigration, which is not a crime.

4. Back to answer 2, there's always bad apples with the good apples. Many illegal immigrant families just want to work and have a better life in the United States, nothing more, nothing more.
Illegal aliens are terrorists. They kill more Americans that al quada has.

The nice ones only violate our border laws, steal IDs, steal social security numbers, drive without a license or insurance, steal jobs from the very neediest of Americans, and give fake names and IDs at out ERs to steal thousands of dollars in medical care without ever intending on paying for it. These are the nice ones.

The not so nice ones also murder, rape, steal cars, molest children, and rob and terrorize American's, frequently in their very own homes. Illegal aliens have killed more Americans than al queda has. But whether or not the illegal aliens are the nice ones or the not so nice ones they are all criminals.

Just because we happen to have our own criminals here doesn't mean we have to import more from other countries. Just because we're stuck with our own criminals doesn't mean we have to bring in more. Every single illegal alien here is a criminal, and they do in fact commit more crimes than Americans in general, but that is not relevant, illegal aliens don't belong here.
