If he’s complaining, he should have just come here illegally himself. Oh wait... if that was an easier, more pleasurable, and more profitable thing to do, it’s very likely he would have actually done it.

You know, he could just skip the whole green card thing and be an illegal... work at a fast food place, roof houses, sometimes not get paid for hours of labor.

This is poor wording “Mexican people who came here illegally will have an easier time than he has had.” But I know you mean bureaucratically  speaking, so I’ll let it slide.

I just don’t understand this. I see an analogue to it on a regular basis, but I still don’t understand it.

If your friend believes this he’s a sucker. Just like all the unemployed that are convinced that if there weren’t “illegals” they’d have a great job.

I’m half white and half Vietnamese. I can sum up my view by remixing a Mohammed Ali quote: No liberal has ever called me Gook.

And if you have a T visa you need to return to Mexico every year in order to renew it, something that Canadians do not need to do.

In a way it is the same with us, Hispanics, somehow there is a collective thought that we are all the same, Argentinians, Mexicans, Colombians, Cubans, etc., we are all different, there is not such thing as “Latino culture”.

Exactly, every immigrant who wants legal papers has to go through the same process, no one has it easier, some people born in some selected countries have even a more difficult process.

And this is how the process is, for every person who wants to have a green card in USA.

Sometimes, also, they do not see the real problem and they only repeat what other people say instead of documenting themselves.

Yeah, Id like o see his friend walk across the Sonoran desert in August then tell me how easy illegal immigrants have it. What an absolute asshole.

Several things:

Assuming your “Asian friend” is a real person *snorts back disbelief,* congratulations! You’re friends with an ignorant bigot. Because last I checked being an illegal immigrant in a total cake walk, of course. I mean don’t we constantly pause and say to ourselves, “Man, I totally wish I was an illegal immigrant so my…

Plus there are more illegal Asian immigrants now than there are illegal Mexican immigrants (also from 538)

Hey, if his friend wants it so easy, he can just have a (probably rapist) coyote smuggle him across the border, live in whatever apartment on the outskirts of town that will take payment in cash without a lease or any questions—oh, one that he can afford with his off the books food service or agricultural job. He’ll…

it’s true - undocumented Mexican and Central/South American immigrants are KILLING IT and living la vida loca and dolce. It is a fucking cake walk being in a country illegally, having no idea what your rights are, and fearing being separated from your family at every interaction with officials. Killing it, I tell you.

If your friend thinks that way, maybe he should try walking across the Sonoran fucking Desert.

whut

PREACH. This dude has no idea how lucky he is to get employer sponsorship. The fact that they’re willing to go through all that DOL certification business for him is nothing short of a miracle.
