Everyone was shocked by the outcome of a contentious social media survey that asked Americans to pick between legal indian immigrants and illegal Mexican immigrants. A startling 82% of the more than 48,000 votes cast on X were in favor of illegal Mexicans versus legitimately migrant Indians. Many even criticized the user's desire to pit these two populations against one another, highlighting the nation's rampant prejudice.
 
Others boldly defended the findings, citing preconceptions against indian immigration and cultural links to Mexico. "Our community has always included Mexicans. One commenter said, "Indians simply take high-skilled jobs." This reveals that there is more to the immigration argument than limited legality. It concerns societal biases that are pervasive against a specific race or ethnic group.

More than 10 million migrants have tried to enter since 2021, with Mexicans accounting for the majority of these attempts.
