Why the US has more problems regarding illegal immigrants regarding Mexicans than Canadians?

The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years. \n\n"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole. \n\n \nCultural imperialism\n\n \n\nWe experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series of mini-crises, ea

It's illegal.  But most of those inmigrants have contributed a lot in our society.  US Goverment says a lot about the mexicans but doesn't say anything about canadians that cross the border daily to work here!  Are they americans or canadians?  Are they illegal or not?  Simply unfair.

THANKS For Askin The Right Questions Canadian Lover\n\nThe BIGGEST Problem For American Citizens Is THIS\n\nIt's hard to fathom how America's elected Congressional leaders, those who swore to uphold the Constitution and to protect the nation, are prepared to give it away for some perceived short-term political gain, if that. The front man for globalist corporations who currently occupies the White House is allowing Mexico City to dictate America's immigration policy, while few in his party object. Does anyone think that Vicente Fox cares about what happens to America? . http://www.limitstogrowth.org/web-text/a...\n\nSenators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) are aiding and abetting this effort. " \n\nWhy do American public officials value so little what thousands have fought and died to protect? A foreign power has stated its plans to conquer this nation by demographic warfare, but in Washington, apparently no one cares.\n\nOne wonders what Secretary of State Colin Powell thinks about surrending American sovereignty to a foreign power. He was a general in the U.S. Army and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, after all. Doesn't it bother him to be following the wishes of a foreign leader? Why does the most powerful nation in the world cower before the third-world country to the south? \n\n\nArticle IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: \n\n"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion..." \n\n\nWe ALL (CITIZENS) Got SOLD OUT By Our Government\n\nNow WE THE PEOPLE Must TAKE ACTION To Make It Right\nWE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT TURN OUR COUNTRY OVER TO YOU\nNO WAY- You All Might As Well GO HOME NOW\n\nOUR Govt Does What WE THE PEOPLE Tell Them To Do\nIf They DONT....\nLets Just Say That WE THE PEOPLE Arent AFRAID Of OUR Govt\n(Like SOME People We Know) \n\nAnd Make No Mistake About It\n\nWE THE PEOPLE WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT

I agree.  I can understand the desperation of their situation, but if they want to be here, they have a responsibility to follow our laws, just as Americans who go to Mexico have a responsibility to follow their laws.  Personally, I think part of the problem is NAFTA; it has caused unemployment in all three countries involved, especially Mexico.  A bad decision on the part of the government has helped to put them in this situation.  But if they want better lives, how good can those lives be if the "goodness" was achieved through dishonesty and deception?  It's still not right for them to break our laws because they would be sending us back to the U.S. if we broke one of theirs.  That's what makes sense to me.

to keep us from talking about the WAR.... and also the problems you mention!!!!\n\nit's easier to scapegoat illegal immigrants for all the problems in this country then face the real issues eroding our nation because then we would have to truly examine our own lifestyles and belief systems....

so right. Americans r being blindsided into believing that immigration is the biggest issue the USA has on our hands. Sh*t everytime i hear about a soldier getting killed in Iraq, my stomach turns. People r so ignorant to the real problems in the US. not to say that Illegal immigrants isn't a problem, but come on people we r going to hell in a hand basket. Plus, to enter legally into the US can take more than 10 yrs and people aren't willing to wait. it doesn't help that AMERICAN companies aren't punished. But this whole immigration thing will keep the spotlight off the real problems until good ol' G. Bush is out of office.

Canada and the US have very good international and trade relations so not only is it NOT illegal, it's also not going to cause any sort of issue in customs or hold up your package.\n\nI live in Detroit...right on the border...and you can see both American and Canadian flags being flown right on either side of the border.  Canadians are cool...don't sweat it.  :)

Canada is more concerned over the enviroment, they provide free health care for their citizens, and much more liberal than the United States (meaning you don't have to listen to people saying all day "Jesus loves you!") And, you don't have to watch boring baseball; there's HOCKEY AND SOCCER!\n\nCanada rules!

I understand the point you are making with this question, even if most who answered you did not.  You're saying, "Why is the USA considered so 'bad' by everyone for wanting to defend our borders and keep illegal immigrants out, when every other country in the world defends their borders and nothing seems to be said about it?"  In fact, most of the other countries of the world are extremely harsh to illegal immigrants - often to the point of shooting to kill as they find them.  Mexico, for one, is far stricter on their southern border than the USA is and if you are found in that country illegally you will be subject to terrible things if you weren't shot to death, including imprisonment, possibly raping, beating, theft and bribery, etc.  Yet, even Mexico feels it has a right to tell the USA to let Mexicans come into the USA illegally or however they want to!  Give me a break!  I agree with Diaboyos' answer here, too.

I am 100% with you. Do not believe anything fish ball is answering in this question. He doesn't even know the laws much less voice an educated opinion.  \n\nThe problem in the US is racism pure and simple. There is no quota or harassment if you come from France, Germany or England. Why? because people from these countries are usually white and for the most part, have money.  The only reason there are blacks in the US is because they were bought as slaves.  But if any of your forefathers ever thought that they would eventually get freedom and become citizens, heck they wouldn't even have bought them to begin with. The current problem with the illegal immigrants is the color of the Mexicanos. Look at the Canadian frontier.  You just push a button to cross there. Why do we allow so many illegal Canadians here? Because they are white...pure and simple. \n\nIf you marry a US citizen, you can become a citizen too.  However, if you divorce during the first three years of marriage your citizenship can get revoked.  Why? cause they don't want any more dark color skins in the country. Bushy simple.

Asylum is different from what the Mexicans are doing we have no problem helping people that are being prosecuted in there Country.\nBut on the other hand we can not take every person in the world and really need to stop trying to the worlds helper.

Because American citizens are rude and demanding.  If European people can tell the difference between a Canadian and a American by talking to them, the there is a problem.  They don't want you to stop existing, just to shut-up.

Lots of countries have stricter rules than us. We are a joke which is why the illegals feel free to come here and do what they want.

I don't think ti is completely realistic to think we can stop ALL illegal immigration. If there are countries that have more oppression(hard to believe) than America, or a pay rate that is such that people can not afford to live on it, then there will be people seeking out "the American Dream". When you ask if legislators are biased or prejudiced against certain groups of people, the answer is MOST DEFINITELY! When asked why Canadians weren't being targeted as were Mexicans...a certain politician just blushed and refused to answer the question....America needs to wake up to the biased agenda of this administration- abomination.

Illegal immigration is a problem everywhere including other countries.

Well because Yankee tourists are so in your face, think they know everything and tell you what to do.   And like a lot of other Canadians we don't like their government, that kills millions of innocent people, threaten to pollute our Red River with one of their polluted rivers, we don't like the fact they are trying to build a wall against us-how neighbourly is that? Canadians don't believe they get any respect from the U.S. We feel like they are sneering at us just because we allow same sex marriage and for the most part marijuana is legal. Also we don't have the first Amendment that every one person is required to be armed to the teeth.

Of course we know that there are many immigrants from many countries besides Mexico. America is the great melting pot. The topic is ILLEGAL immigrants though. I am sure that we have them from all countries also. What do we hear the most though? We hear about the ILLEGAL Mexicans walking over the border. Yes we have another country bordering us...but when was the last time you heard about an ILLEGAL Canadian walking over the border? I am not saying it doesn't happen. The media pretty much only discusses the Mexicans.\nAs far as persons who say things to you because you are Hispanic....unfortunately that is just life. There are ignorant people everywhere. Fortunately for you....you know that you are a citizen. You went and got a degree, a job, and pay taxes. That's what you are supposed to do. \nI just want to know something. You get all offended about people talking about Mexicans....yet you called Americans lazy. You do know that you are an American right?
