why do people who are for the wall along the Souther border focus so much on S. America when a majority of illegal immigrants are from Canada?

Is it because of xenophobia that these border wall supporters have for people of brown skin who speak Spanish?

It's because the majority of them believe that only white illegal immigration occurs over the northern border, and they don't care about that.

They're bigots, not xenophobes.

@OggggO They're not xenophobic towards Canadians, the Irish, white Europeans, etc.

At best they could be wishy-washy xenophobes and bigots.

@daisymay you realise that people from devloped countries can go to another devloped country without visa and actually work? It's coz they don't settle there without documents unlike someone from developing country will do.

@SW-User You realize that people other than the citizens of "developed countries" (you should get some better insults) can come over the northern border and through other ports of call and airplanes, as well?

You realize that immigrants who come through the southern border work and probably pay more in taxes (that they will never receive benefits from) than you do?

@daisymay You have no idea who and what we are. Another stupid comment from you, you really don't know much about Canadians do you?

@Synyster Calm down, I never said anything derogatory about Canadians.

@daisymay Did I read this wrong?

@Synyster Apparently. Try reading it as it was written; an answer to the question at the top of the page.

It's a major part of deciphering who "the majority of them" refers to.

@daisymay My mistake, sorry.
