How come I never see anyone mention illegal immigrants who are white Europeans or Canadians? They aren’t targeted by ice raids. Not talked about by conservatives OR liberals. It’s always about Mexicans or Muslims. It’s almost as if there is some sort of prejudice towards Mexicans and Muslims? Or how else can one explain the difference in treatment?
ICE most wanted list...10 people from Mexico or South America.

Coincidence? Statistically speaking their are more immigrants from Mexico and South America. Does that mean we should ignore the fact that there are white immigrants? Does that excuse difference in treatment?
Mexicans are asked about their citizenship status. Why aren’t authorities asking white people? Where are the raids on businesses who’ve hired white Europeans? Where are the instances of white Europeans being separated from their families?
From appearances, it seems that it’s easier to be a white illegal immigrant in America.

Probably because it's a minority. If I recall correctly less than half a million visa overstays. (Obviously still an issue but we should be wary of the "solutions"). I've never heard of Muslim illegals though.

I chose the word Muslims instead of middle eastern because that’s usually how people refer to them. Especially when talking about immigration.
Even if white people are the minority, shouldn’t they be treated the same?

I'm certain they do arrest some but why would a European illegally immigrate here. Most of them have great social benefits. Doesn't make a lot of sense, giving up free medical, schooling, other perks for what?
These ice raids are also targeting known criminals and criminal activity. As long as someone keeps their nose clean and head low they can stay undetected for decades or forever if they wanted. It's not that hard.
We had an ICE raid in my town last year. Someone tipped them off that a fast food chain was hiring illegals. They raided it, arrested the employees and the American owners so right there would be an example of white American citizens being arrested by ICE.

They are treated the same. My white friend overstayed his VISA and was soon picked up by immigration.

Not sure where you got these ideas from, but a trip through US customs and immigration if you are returning to the USA, or entering the USA will give a real true experience of how difficult it is to "get in" even if you ARE a citizen, they will sometimes give you a lot of trouble and ask a lot of questions plus verify ALL of your proof of status.
Those who are finding another way in have to be doing it covertly to get away with it. Also, a lot of the so called illegals regardless of race, have criminal convictions, so if they get stopped for something and they are here illegally, they will get deported regardless of race. I have a friend who is an immigration officer, and they don't care about race at all, they look for anyone cheating the legal system.

The Govt will arrest anyone for even the smallest things, as an American citizen that's actually from here - I can assure you of that. Our jails and prisons are overflowing. We have a culture of 'arrest anyone for anything' nearly these days.
About foreigners from Europe (or East Asia for that matter) - the reason you are not hearing much about this is because the MSM chooses to ignore it. When these people get arrested by ICE (which they do every day) no one screams or cries about it, it's not a big deal to most people. They simply don't care if some Ukrainian or Chinese guy got arrested for being here illegally. It doesn't support a political narrative really (even though the right-wing could theoretically use it as capital in the current immigration debates, but they haven't utilized this effectively yet).
Also we need to keep in mind that Euros, Africans, Indians, and East Asians are much more likely to actually get paperwork and attempt to legitimize their stay, because they aren't as desperate or impoverished as most South or Central American immigrants.
Granted we have offenders from all of these areas, and they are arrested when caught, but there appears to be a disproportionate % of the Americas that are simply not bothering with getting the proper paperwork + the MSM is focusing on them specifically right now. So it seems more imbalanced than it actually is.
You can Trust me on this one thing though - the Govt will arrest just about anyone it thinks it can. They just love cuffing and detaining people. You need mega $$$ to get around this.
