150,000 illegal aliens are Candaians are in the country right now. Vs... about 5 million illegal mexicans. Which just counts Mexico... not anywhere else in South America. So... yeah. It's got nothing to do with racism. If the problem was huge in Canada... people in the north would be complaining for sure. |
Nobody would care if there were five million illegal Canadians living in Montana. Because how could you tell? They are not brown. They speak english. They don't have awful stereotypes. They can blend in with a crowd and not be recognized as 'Canadian'.
This same thing is not true for illegal Mexicans. In Arizona, the conservatives wanted police to have the ability to stop anyone that they suspect might be illegal. How else are police going to do this without considering color and language? They wouldn't be able to do this same thing with Canadians in Montana and they wouldn't because nobody would care anyways.
This same thing is true for Russians in Northern California. There are millions of undocumented Russians here, and yet nobody really cares. They are white, so it's not a big deal.
Mexicans, being brown, are automatically assumed by racist, rich, white conservatives to be lazy, dirty criminals that take all the low wage jobs and spend their days off stealing your fancy sports cars and rolex watches. This, of course, is not true. The fact is, most of the illegal mexicans are poor and barely able to sustain themselves in the first place. Plus they have rich, white, conservatives breathing down their back.
Leave these people alone. Instead of going after these poor people that can barley afford food, let's go after the rich, white, conservatives that run BP and ignored all the warning signs of that oil rig. Let's deport them! Let's go after these bank CEOs and Wall Street criminals that caused an economic disaster that now has 10 percent of people unemployed!
