Why is it that when people gripe about illegal immigrants the only one mentioned are Mexicans?

Where I live all I hear about is illegal Mexicans this and illegal Mexicans that. There are more illegal Guatamalens than anything in my area.

There are certain areas of the country where the vast majority of illegal criminal aliens are from Mexico, and from other Latin American countries. Obviously you will hear these people complain about the illegals they see right??

Wouldn't make much sense to complain about all the 'Russian' or 'Irish' illegal aliens in El Centro, California, now would it???

Because the majority of the ILLEGAL immigrants that are her are actually from Mexico. It's pretty easy to sneak inot this country from the, obviously. Not so easy if someone is from, for example, India or Africa. Walking across a border is much easier than trying to get on a plane or a boat to come over here. Plus most of the immigrants overseas tend to go through the correct legal channels to come her. They have pride in the thought that they can become a citizen of this country. That's the way it should be.
