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

I don't know the answer to the question about targetting just Mexicans, but I do know that people from practically every country in the world are trying to get into the US, and I would wager that there are a large number of illegals from all countries including European countries. The US controls half of the world's resources, and has only a fraction of the world's population. From a purely logical and scientific point of view, wouldn't that make the US a magnet for large sections of the world's populations. Even if you take Japan and Europe which have very high standards of living as examples, they still have small land mass and high population density, thus making the US with vast amounts of land still very attractive for migrants.

*&*&*&\n\nAbout 96% of Hong Kong's population is Chinese, the majority of which are Cantonese. Groups such as the Hakka and Teochew are also substantial. \n\n Since the Handover, a new group of immigrants from mainland China have increased the ethnic diversity of the Chinese population and enhanced the development of Mandarin in the territory.\n\nThe remaining 4% of the population is composed of non-Chinese, who form a highly visible group, despite their small numbers.\n\nAmong these is a significant South Asian population, which includes some of Hong Kong's wealthiest families. Some Nepalis residing in Hong Kong are Gurkhas, who chose to stay after their service to Britain, and their descendants. More than 15,000 Vietnamese, who came to Hong Kong as refugees, have become permanent residents, the majority of whom survive on casual work. Around 140,000 Filipinos work in Hong Kong as domestic helpers and housekeepers, often known locally as amahs, or feiyungs, with other such workers coming from Thailand and Indonesia. \n\n There are also a number of Europeans, North Americans, Japanese, and Koreans, largely working in Hong Kong's financial sector. \n\nThe top three sources of migration to Hong Kong are the Philippines (132,770), Indonesia (95,460), and the United States (31,330).

That's a loaded question. Illegal immigrants of all races are deported. Mexicans and Americans of Mexican descent are not targeted. A lot of the illegal immigrants that come through do happen to come from Mexico.

It's good for a lot of people in big cities and in the coastal provinces, and for a few people in the countryside. The quality of life for everyone else is appalling.\n\nChina is kind of like all of North America rolled into one. Instead of Americans, they have Beijingren and Shanghairen and Nanjingren. Instead of Canadians, they have Harbinren. And instead of Mexicans, they have everybody else.\n\n(Not to say that the quality of life in rural China is as good as in Mexico... it really, really, isn't.)

My familia came to this country legally and so should everyone else.  We followed the laws and are proud to be Americans now.  The primary illegal groups are Mexicans because of the shared boarder...however, if the US shared a boarder with China, then we would have millions of Chinese illegal immigrants.  So, the real question is:  Why should Hispanics be given amnesty for breaking the laws and made citizens simply because their home country is closer than the rest of the world's people who would love to become Americans also?

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.

Because many of them have been working in the USA for decades picking oranges, limes and lemons. They basically keep the landlords in business, however when it comes to apply for citizenship, they are considered to be foreigners.\nThey fly the Mex. flag to identify themselves from other nationalities who claim to be refugees and seem to get priority.

it has less to do with the government than it does with big business and citizens. if mexicans can find higher paying wages in the US and get the US dollar which is stronger than the Peso, why would you care if big companies were in Mexico. Of course, there are plenty of Mexicans that would love a jobe in their home  country even though it pays less than the same job in the US. Thats where big biz comes in. The cost of hiring and maintaining a work force in Mexico is significantly higher than in China because China has so many fewer laws preventing abuse. In addition, you can pay workers in China far less because they can't hop the border into the US and find the same job that pays double. Make sense!

First of all just so you know my background is German, Irish and English my wife is Dominican (Spanish speaking). I can only think of two things. 1) They are ignorant! 2) Mexico is one of the largest countries, so it is more noticeable. Plus, how can anyone say that Mexicans are taking all the jobs when other Americans won't even do that type of work? I appreciate them, 'cause if it weren't for them then the fields of fruit and veggies would not get picked. I'm from CA and now I live in NY. There are so many other immigrants here too. At one time Western United States used to be Mexico and the "White Man" took it away. People are just plain ignorant or stupid. Don't let it bother you, hasta

The nation of Mexico is much more than the 130 million mexicans, and that migth be changing througth the time.\n\nWhat i mean is, yes, the mexican people who lives in the USA or in any other country of the world are part of this nation, but that is gonna be until they want to be a part of it, i am sure there will be lots of them who would like to get some other nationality eventually because of their own interests. \n\nThey migth keep some links with their mexican family, or maybe not, we don't know how and when is it gonna happen but that's the way it migth be going.\n\nWe live in a globalized world and should be less worried about this. In fact many of us maybe have some american nationalized family, and maybe he is not a part of Mexico by his own choice, so what? \n\nWe have to be friends to our neighbors and stop looking for points of discordance and problems!\n\nquiet take over... In Mexico we need to learn english too, in the government secondary and high school we have to acredit english courses, as well as in many universities in order to graduate. Besides, even if that's not one of the subjects in some universities, learning english is almost a MUST only to apply for the better job oportunities, wich there are not so many. So, don't worry is the same for us, and for the rest of the world, maybe our children will have to learn chinese as well!
