'Cause they were really turned on and it didn't matter if they were on their period or not? Man, illiterate people REALLY piss me off!

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA was built from the 3rd century BC until the beginning of the 17th century, in order to protect the various dynasties from raids by Hunnic, (Huns) Mongol, Turkic, and other nomadic tribes coming from areas in modern-day Mongolia and Manchuria. \n\nThese tribes were seen as invaders, not immigrants.\n\nThe difference between the Chinese and Mexican walls is very simple.  The immigrants illegally coming into the United States are not invaders.  They are coming in search of jobs.  They are not coming in armed with the purpose of invading and taking over the U.S. militarily.\n\nThe Chinese were faced with an entirely different situation.  The tribes mentioned above were trying to enter China for the purpose of invading the country militarily and taking it over.  They were not coming in search of jobs.

A lot of places have a high number of immigrants. Many people think that just Mexicans coming from Mexico are the only immigrants. While that is true, there are more people coming from other countries to the U.S.A. Many people from Cuba are going to Flordia (Cuba is an island close by Flordia). I dont know why most/alot of people think Mexican when they hear immigrants. The state/cities with most immigrants are the states by the border. Immigrants dont tend to travel into the middle of the U.S because they might have a better chance of being caught here illegally. The immigrants mostly stay in states by the border.

I assume you mean the Mexican American War?\n\nThe primary cause of the Mexican American War was the US's admission of Texas as a State.  This is the main reason why Texas remained independent for nine years.  Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, but was not admitted to the Union until 1845.\n\nAfter Texas' independence, Mexico threatened war with United States if the US made it a state.  Between 1936 and 1845, the growing Manifest Destiny movement, culminating with the election of James K. Polk, wanted war with Mexico to expand the boarders of the United States to the Pacific Ocean.\n\nSome of the results of the Mexican American War we are still feeling today.  Mexico lost 2/3 of its land to the US, but there is misinterpreted clause in the Treaty of Guadalupe that illegal immigrants claim allows them to live and work in the United States.  Basically, the treaty guarantees the right of Mexicans that lived in Mexico's territories ceded to the US to live and work in the new US territories, and after a year become US Citizens.  Today, many illegal immigrants mistakenly claim that gives them the right to enter, live, and work in the US.  However, this right was only given to Mexicans who lived in the ceded territories at the time the treaty was signed.\n\nMany people may feel that this grave injustice done to Mexico justifies allowing waves of illegal immigrates to stay in the US.  However, what most people fail to realize is that you cannot look at a treaty signed over 150 years ago and apply today's standards to it.  The world has changed dramatically since than; furthermore, in the land purchased from Mexico by the US, a condition of the treaty, there were very few Mexicans actually living in that territory.  The vast major of the population of those territories were indigenous Indians, who did not speak Spanish and had little or no contact or loyalty to Mexico.

A lot of times it tends to happen because they are surrounded by so many other people that also dont assimilate, that they form their own little community (often even complete with community grocery stores, jobs, etc) so that they arent forced to assimilate- it lets them get by without doing it.  If they move to an area where that doesnt exist, I think you tend to see them assimilate pretty fast.

All and most came here legally.  It took time but my grandparents did it.  They did not want to begin their life in a new country starting out illegally.  Yes, they had the opportunity to come here illegally.\n\nThe American Indian migrated here from Asia.

Being that the Mexican border is connected to our country it makes it very easy for people from Mexico to sneek here illegaly. They same could be said for Canada, however, because Canada is not such a poor country the people don't feel the need to escape their situations as much as the people in Mexico. So a majority of the immigrants in this country that have came here illegaly have been from mexico. It has been a hot political topic for so long now and in the eye of the media that when we hear "illegal immigrant" we automatically think south of the border. On the east coast however, there is more of a mixture of people from other countrys that are here illegally.

The US developed the US Exclusion act in 1882. IT was the only act to DENY entry to a sinlge group of people. Mexico opened its borders to many different groups - in Mexico we have large communites of Japanese, Chinese, Lebanese and Jewish immigrants, as well as immigrants from Europe, specially after WW2. I don't know if the "missed" The US, maybe they believed that the US was not the center of the world. Just my opinionl

Wow, you really need to go back and study history.  \n\nThe Spaniards conquered the Aztecs in Mexico at about the same time that the English Colonies were starting in the North East.  \n\nThe Mexicans are the descendants of the Spaniards and Aztecs (as are most of the South American Continent.)  That is why they speak Spanish.    \n\nAmerica never stole land from the Mexicans.  We stole land from the American Indian (Native Americans).  Texas was at one point part of Mexico, but it won it's Independence on it's own and became an independent sovereign nation.  Later of course Texas citizens voted to become part of the US.

The border was "open" up until the 1880s. Of course, the open Mexican border at that time was "unofficial," but the American southwest was so wide open that mexican immigration was not a political issue.

Mexico has given them a culture, a belief and a society.  Just because you emigrate does not mean you throw away your culture and what made you the person you are.  When you parents, grandparents moved to the USA, did they forget about your elders and those that did not move to the USA?  Each and everyone is proud of their heritage.  Italian-Americans, African-American, Chinese-Americans and so on.  They are proud, just as you are proud.

I'm guessing this is about the transcontinental railroad.  If thats the case, it caused more immigration by...\n1. Directly creating jobs, many immigrants migrated and worked for the railroad industry.\n2. The Railroad industry itself allowed many other jobs across the US to be created due to the shipping of materials and goods to factories (which before weren't possible because there were no means of transportation.)  The materials used in factories allowed for faster production, which lead to the need for more workers, which lead to many immigrants coming to the US to work for low wages.
