For the same reason no one mentions Kansas, Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, or a whole host of other states. You aren't on the border and the average joe - thanks to an agenda-driven press - is absolutely oblivious to the fact that illegal immigrants don't stop at the border.
They are now a natiowide thread. How many people realize that there are illegal immigrant communities in Hawaii and Alaska?
Cause most people have never been there and they couldn't even find it on a map. lol
I wonder how many people know that the largest concentration of illegals (especially illegals from Mexico) outside of California is...Illinois! The six-county “Chicagoland” area alone has at least 1.5 million.
Minnesota is on the border. It has a border with Canada. However, few have started sneaking south across that border.
These states all have their own illegal immigration laws?
Illinois has more illegal immigrants than any of the states you mention. And we’re nowhere near the border.
