I dunno, handing over a few pounds / francs / deutschmarks / zlotys / shekels / sheep for a one way boat ticket seems pretty easy compared to swimming the Rio Grande, hanging off the axle of a 16 wheeler and dodging the armed lunatics manning the border.
They'd still have to be processed at Ellis Island.
Anyway, the point is that now we have tougher limits. Makes no difference where the immigrants are from. There have always been Mexicans crossing the border, but we haven't needed new immigrants in decades, and that's why there are tougher laws. Mexicans aren't the only ones getting deported. They're just the biggest problem that can potentially be controlled.
But you guys can keep thinking anti-illegal immigration is solely a race issue. Like everything else apparently.
