Throughout American history, immigrants have frequently been blamed for a variety of problems. In the early 1800's, the Irish and Germans were the targets of nativism. Then, Southern and Eastern Europeans were the problem. Chinese immigrants were the focus of early 20th century persecution. My question is, are Mexican immigrants being unjustly blamed, like the other immigrant groups, or is there something inherently different about them? Despite being conservative on almost every other issue, I personally feel that the Mexicans are unjustly blamed for many problems, but I would like to here other opinions.

I didn't notice the word illegal in your post for some reason.
Yes it is. The idea is not new though there's a sub-forum to discuss that.
I wanted to hear more about other issues besides just illegal status. Many Mexican immigrants, after all, are here legally. I thought it was more of a political controversy than an illegal immigrants topic.

I don't think there are many who fault hard working immigrants from Mexico who have come and remain here legally, and who attempt to assimilate. Three words: borders, language, culture.

Okay point me to an organization or a person who's against legal immigrants exclusively from Mexico.
