Individuals from across the globe have been migrating to America for centuries. Without immigrants, The United States would cease to exist. Today, one of America’s top priorities is eradicating “illegal aliens” because “they pose a threat” to our society. As if today’s society is perfect, and the primary focus is solely on mexican immigrants. According to MPI “India was the leading country of origin, with 175,100 arriving in 2016, followed by 160,200 from China/Hong Kong, 150,400 from Mexico, 54,700 from Cuba, and 46,600 from the Philippines.” These statistics are only two years old, undoubtedly all of those people did not come here legally. So why do Mexicans have a target on their back and no one else seems to care about Chinese and Indian individuals coming here illegally? To me, it is simply racism and the fact that it is easier to control the Mexican border than it is to with countries across the globe. It is not right that Mexican families are being separated and children are being kept in cages. Meanwhile, there is no focus on other races who come here illegally. The Mexicans are just a simple scapegoat the government uses to avoid the true threats to America, which are white Americans.
Americans often chose to forget or ignore history, we are cold blooded murders we have shed the blood of thousands of mexicans. We forcefully took Texas, and to avoid more loss Mexico “agreed” to grant half of its land to America for fifteen million dollars. This was after the battles of the Alamo, and the Bear Flag Revolt. During this time we took white immigrants in to work in factories with pay for us to thrive yet we turned our backs on the mexicans...
