Mexico along with Canada is part of North America. Then why is Trump treating Mexicans as foreign criminals?

If you come to the US illegally than you are a criminal. Illegal immigration is a crime. Mexico doesn't just allow anyone who wants to come to their country to come. Additionally, Mexicans have little reason to want to come to the US nowadays. Mexico isn't a poor country anymore. The current Mexican GDPPC when measured in international dollars (accounting for inflation) is higher than the US's was in 1990 the year I was born. Americans weren't fleeing the US to live in some other country at that time, neither should Mexicans.

He is treating Mexicans as foreign criminals because they don't have white skin, and he doesn't like anyone who doesn't have white skin.

[Tonita91996]

That’s what I said.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Which is what MAGA is about:RACISM !!!

[Tonita91996]

White laws also say that you’re black if you have a drop of black blood in you even if you are majority white. That’s to keep pure white bloodline.

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Tonita91996 The way slave owners r*ped female slaves, likely fewer than one-fifth of "Caucasians" are fully white.

[Tonita91996]

It’s really based on how you look on if you’re white or not to them.

[msc545]

@Tonita91996 you are sadly right about this.

[msc545]

Trump treats Canada a bit better because Canada has mostly white people, although not exclusively so.

Living in North America doesn't make us relatives, or friends, just allies. That would be like Palestine and Israel, or Russia and Ukraine, being buddy buddy because they live in the same areas.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Ukraine was an unwilling Russian satellite state with different languages and customs than its oppressor; Palestinians were displaced in 1947 by Israel. MAJOR difference, pard !!!

[NoDecision]

So Mexico borders the US in several states. We trade with them. But that doesn't mean we are their buddies. If you want to count drug traffickers, murders, rapists, gang members, and other miscreants as your buddies, then go ahead and be my guest.

[beefcakebradybatson]

America has PLENTY of miscreants, and it deals with international POS daily.

[Ironco]

You have a good point...

[Anonymous]

Because Canadians are white and Trump doesn’t care.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Oh, I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.(Though in the mid-60s, Afro-Latino MLB Hall Of Famer Reggie Jackson was told the New York Mets wouldn't draft him-they didn't-because he had a "white" girlfriend [whom he briefly married] who was actually a Mexican broad.)

Yes we're all part of the same continent but we're three separate countries we're not one entity.

Also if your break into the country by crossing the border illegally or by hiring cartels or smugglers to sneak you across then yes you are a foreign criminal you broke federal law.

That doesn't just apply to the US it applies in Canada and Mexico as well. In any country if you sneak across their border illegally and aren't a citizen of that nation then you are considered a foreign criminal. And you will be deported, jailed or in some countries shot on sight.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Over three-quarters of Canadians are white, whose illegal incursions into America, especially during the Trump dictatorship, errr, administration are far less rigidly policed than those of brown-skinned Mexicans.

[lightbulb27]

trump offered to make one big USA/Canada but they said no.

Mexico got into a fight with us over texas and there's mexico and there's USA. different countries.

If want to make one, we can talk, but that is one big enchilada to chew on.

[Steak_Bone_D]

Are they United States citizens? No? What's your problem then? Getting into this country illegally is criminal. You can't word Jenga around that fact.

[FunkyMonkee]

They're in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY! What part of that don't you get?
Look at how many countries are in Europe yet they all treat each other like foreigners, too!!

[Dargil]

Because if they entered illegally, they are foreign criminals That was easy. Now start parsing words.

[AgentG111]

You have your answer in your question.

The United States of America isn't all of north America. Hence they aren't Americans!

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Mexico and Canada are part of the American continent, not the territorial U. S soil thus Mexicans and Canadians are foreigners.

[exitseven]

Have you ever heard of the cartels?

[Anonymous]

Seriously?
